A government school teacher in North Carolina has now been suspended,
after yelling at a student who was criticizing Barack Obama. You can
listen/watch then entire exchange here, between a student and Social
Studies teacher Tanya Dixon-Neely. (Hyphenated name .. that should tell
you something right there.) The discussion in their North Rowan High
School social studies class seemed to start on the topic of Mitt Romney
being a bully. It escalated from there. In fact at one point, Tanya
Dixon-Neely told the student, “Do you realize that people were arrested
for saying things bad about Bush? … Do you realize you are not supposed
to slander the president?” This teacher actually told her students that
they could go to jail for criticizing Barack Obama.
This morning I saw the mother of that child on Fox and Friends. She was,
of course, complaining about this teacher. Every single time I see some
parent complaining about the treatment of their spawn in a government
school I can’t help but thinking that this is exactly what they should
have expected .. and what they in fact deserve .. for turning their kids
over to the government to be educated in the first place.
Tanya Dixon-Neely has been suspended with pay.
