With all due respect I'm not as tolerant as you SLP nor do I give rip when it comes to blacks defending our potus. That voting group lost my respect long ago by supporting this guy just because he is half black with little to no regard to his politics. Actually, many probably voted for him due to his Liberal views on providing folks with assistance when they should be doing for themselves.

Sorry but my feeling is she has bashed Bush and many other white presidents through her years so why the love and defensive tone for the present potus? IMO it's because he is half black. I won't pretend to be open minded about that opinion because I feel race is one subject that folks dance around like the plague (in public)when in fact that does more harm than good. Tell it like it is! People want fair? Then stop the special treatment mandated by the fools in office who are just pandering for votes.

Back to my point....I have seen many examples and listened to hours of examples from my sister, two cousins and friends who are teachers about the disfunction in the educational system. It always comes back to the board of education be it local or federal, money and lack of accountability. IMO...Teachers who have been in long enough to get that tag of "Tenure" can be dangerous since they get a thick protective bubble around them and can do alot of harm with no discipline. When the profession of teaching is being dictated by folks who are politically motivated the system is broke.

I don't need another example like this one to know that many teachers are slack and possibly just fed up with the system so they do their time and look for that check. Sure there are good and exceptional teachers but they are not the ones talked about and IMO they probably get beat down eventually. At times I work in schools from K-12 as a contractor and hear/see things that shock me! Kids in class that can't speak english, kids in class that are disrescpectful beyond belief and just a general lack of respect for others. You can hardly say anything to these kids without the parents getting sideways and causing a stink because little Johnny had his feeling hurt. It's sad.

Maybe this lady is just guilty of bad manners, sorry communications skills, inability to control a classroom and as it appears breaking the school rules. With that being said she does have some issues and when there is smoke there is fire so my guess based on the things I have heard and read she does need to be dealt with. Fired? Probably not but educated in what she is supposed to do? YES! I don't know how they deal with stuff like this but my guess is she will not get much in the way of discipline.

Notice IMO, her potential punishment has nothing to do with her being black it had to do with her strong personal opinion and lack of teaching skills. I even wonder if she is an actual teacher? Man that was a terrible example of a teacher for that school system. Geez I would be pissed off if thats what my kids get at school every day.
