here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDEAYgm0Dv8
I was about these kids age in 1983-1984. I know that there must have been some Democrat teachers in my school. Funny thing is, we never talked about politics. We didn't have mock elections. It was an adult subject, and adults didn't talk about it with kids.
Furthermore, I clearly remember being told to never ask anyone who they voted for or were going to vote for. It is kinda like asking someone how much they make, it is tasteless and an intrusion into privacy. Regardless of who you support, even if I saw a McCain supporting teacher doing this, I would be pissed. We have lost our civility.

This is a dupe.

My attempt is not to dupe the thread that specifically refers to the video, but to direct people (who are interested) to hear Glenn Beck (radio) live discuss the said video.
(If I had just "bumped" the thread and mentioned Glenn was discussing this issue) the point would be missed, as this was a time sensitive issue - as he is live.

As a matter of fact, after a few minutes I changed the title of my thread to more closely resemble the original thread so that people who had been following that thread would know the content of Glenn's show at that particular moment.
As of now, he is not covering that issue, although he has stated that video is linked at his website, fwiw.
Strike that, he is mentioning the video with Steve from Fox news.

Ah.
The state is receiving complaints about this, so hopefully something will be done.
This incident evidently happened some time ago, and the teacher in question is no longer employed by that school system. It is unclear at the moment if she was fired or just went to another country.
Whatever the case, she needs to be removed from the profession IMO.

And I for one, enthusiastically applaud your interest and participation in this matter.

The teacher's conduct was inappropriate on a number of levels, and she assaulted the student.

Teacher's political discussion with students under review
Posted: Today at 11:57 a.m.
Updated: Today at 12:59 p.m.
Fayetteville, N.C. — Cumberland County Schools officials expressed shock and disappointment Friday upon learning of an online video in which a local teacher tells a student her father might be deployed for years because the family supported John McCain for president.
A Scandinavian film crew making a documentary last spring on support for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama captured McArthur Elementary School teacher Diatha Harris talking to her fifth-grade students about Obama and McCain.
When one girl said she was backing McCain because her parents were, Harris responded, "Oh Lord." She later called the war in Iraq "senseless" and told the girl that McCain planned to keep U.S. troops in Iraq for 100 years, if necessary.
"That means your daddy could stay in the military for another 100 years," Harris told the girl, who silently bit her lip.
The video, posted on YouTube.com and misidentifying Harris as an "Ashville N.C. school teacher," quickly made the rounds on conservative blogs, with many bloggers calling Harris a child abuser and demanding that she be fired.
Harris couldn't be reached Friday for comment.
School district officials learned of the video late Thursday and were investigating the matter to determine if any disciplinary action was warranted, spokeswoman Wanda McPhaul said.
"While neutral discussion of the political process is appropriate, at no time, particularly with elementary students, should a teacher infuse his (or) her political views into the discussion," Superintendent William Harrison said in a statement issued Friday. "Most disconcerting was the military slant that made its way into this discussion. We are a military community, serving over 15,000 military students and their families. We value the sacrifices, not only of the military parents but also those of their families.
"I was particularly disturbed to see the uncomfortable position in which our children were placed due to the inappropriate actions of one of our teachers," he said.
Officials discussed the matter with the girl and her parents, who said they weren't upset about the exchange with Harris, according to McPhaul. The parents said the girl had a good experience in Harris' class last year, she said.

It was the Bush Administration (senior, not junior) that honored her for her achievement in education.
She needs to be fired.
