Ignorant Teachers Who See Obama as a King

The teacher in North Carolina is simply a person who blindly supports President Obama(I suspect mostly because he is black) and is ignorant of the facts. I suspect her emotional defense of President Obama is more because of his race than of the position he holds. If people who criticized President Bush were arrested then every Democrat in the country would be in jail. I think that comment was something that just popped into her head as a way of shutting down criticism of President Obama. Nobody can possibly be that ignorant.

It seems like no one has bothering listening to the tape (I don't blame you), but it is clear from listening that she has a distorted view of what one is allowed to say of a President - be it Obama or Bush.

I don't think that she hesitated for one second calling Bush "Hitler" or profaning him many times during his administration. You are not being honest in the double standard that exists in the minds of leftists.

I am going by what I heard on the tape.
If you know better with evidence please share.
If not, it is conjecture.
That, for some ignorant reason she thinks the President can't be criticized. Does not make sense.

ahh, yes, the "i don't know about the other thing, but I DO know about this" defense.....pathetic.

king10 are you defending Rich L.'s conjecture?
So, you're saying my defense based on evidence is weak, but his attack based on nothingbut his FEELINGS is right.

Sure one can be that ignorant. Listening to the woman in her heavy black accent and semi ebonics, you wonder how she can inculcate any student. But that's where affirmative action and union representation get you: the lowest common denominator.

One comment that the brave student neglected to mention in his debate with the ill informed teacher is that there are more imperative issues than Romney bullying a student in the 1960s. We have become a National Enquirer nation looking at useless tidbits. Instead, the student could have pointed out that with a 16 trillion dollar deficit, antiquated tax system, overregulation of business, the war in Afghanistan, Iranian nuclear bombs, stagnant economy, why are we chatting about something so inconsequential as bullying 50 years ago, or whether Obama ate dog meat as a child?

It was while I was driving from Florida, where I gave a presentation on education to citizens, that I heard from talk show hosts about the abuse by North Carolina High School social studies teacher Tanya Dixon-Neely towards a student who dared to challenge her diatribe about Mitt Romney’s alleged “bullying” incident from 1965. In response to the student’s reference to Barack Obama’s own admission in his book of having shoved a girl, the teacher yelled that students can be arrested for disrespecting President Obama. “President” (King?) Obama was beyond criticism to Dixon-Neely, unlike “candidate” Mitt Romney.
