Teacher Criticizing Romney Tells Students it's Criminal to Criticize Obama!

[patriot2008]

This is just starting to go viral! Teacher Tanya Dixon-Neely seems like she shouldn't even be trying to teach these kids anything, much less social studies.
kudos to the young man in her class for knowing so much than this so called "educator"!:eek:

Oh man. Where to even start...

Oh man. Where to even start...

Yep.:eek:
Sad. How did we let this happen?
This is how we got to where we are today.

[Drex]

I had a similar situation. A student called George Bush the Devil and an idiot and the teacher ( who is liberal ) told him never to disrespect the president of the United States

[Lishy]

I wish I was still in high school now that I'm awake..... I would love to be in his position and bring up Ron Paul, lol...

SEIG HEIL!

[QuickZ06]

Anyone call the school? Saw the number posted in the comment section on YT.

The teacher's right, it's unwise to disrespect one's master. He could be watching you...

[Danke]

edit: nvm it is Sunday, I am a moron.

How would a moron know that?

[cstarace]

This got me so angry I turned red. If a teacher of mine ever dared try to suppress my freedom of speech in such a manner, I'd talk so much trash about Obama that smoke would come out of her ears. I'd then threaten her with a lawsuit. I'm calling the school tomorrow. I suggest everybody do the same.

Thx. I'm calling it, and the whole chain above it!

I hope other students start taping this stuff more. This was possibly recorded because they already knew how that teacher was and that she is "out there" and what she's doing is very wrong.

I just hope that knowledgeable young man in her stinking class knows about Ron Paul. He probably does.

+rep to you and +rep to anybody else who calls. Be clear and frank with them: any attempt to suppress First Amendment rights is unacceptable and will not stand. This woman ought to be fired for not only this outburst, but for also being completely incompetent. A public official and a social studies teacher telling a student that he's not allowed to criticize a sitting President? Where the fuck are we, the Soviet Union?

[Lishy]

(704) 636-4420 is it, apparently.

Let's make this hit news!

[anaconda]

I was recently Facebook unfriended by a 41 year old white female Obama drone here in Oakland, CA. Over the troops in Uganda issue. She wrote on her wall: "I don't appreciate Obama bashing on my wall." Gotta love the Obama censorship drones.

[specsaregood]

..

[cstarace]

Are you guys convinced that the teacher is incorrect? If the president can kill you with no oversight, no jury, no matter what, anywhere, anytime why would you think it not illegal to criticize him?

Wow, those kids did good, that teacher got pwnt!!

The fact of the day is that Romney could have bullied a kid in school? Wow.

why? The school is over 3000 miles from you, its not local. You think people in california should be deciding/influencing curriculum in north carolina schools? If so, then I guess we should all love the department of education.

[LibertyInJeopardy]

don't know if anyone else mentioned this, but those kids have that video camera running before any of this started so this teacher probably says stuff like this a lot or at least some stuff these kids wanted to catch her saying. She is obviously biased and ignorant, so I hope someone sends her a pocket constitution with a note "you're wrong" and also a copy of the ndaa that says "but you ought to pray youre never right, because if you someday are right you dont know who will be in office and the time may come when youll feel it your duty to criticize them."

[Lishy]

This teacher is brainwashing kids that it is wrong to criticize a president under any scenario, even despite the atrocities they commit.

And she is doing this all with OUR tax dollars!

Seriously! Let's complain to the school till she's fired! She has no right to be a teacher if all she's going to do is yell at the kids a bunch of ignorant propaganda!

[kcchiefs6465]

why? The school is over 3000 miles from you, its not local. You think people in california should be deciding/influencing curriculum in north carolina?
Greetings from Ohio. This teacher has no concept of the Constitution. Her "fact of the day" is that maybe Romney bullied some kids 50 years ago? I wish they would have shown her "Obama fact." This teacher is clearly biased and will not let anyone think critically. Rather she yells at the ones who do. What does this have to do with curriculum? NOTHING. She clearly has no place in a classroom, let alone social studies. So to be quite honest, I hope it is my call that breaks the camel's back and gets this incompetent, oppressive, biased, moron, away from teaching children.

[Lishy]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as long as our federal tax dollars are funding public education, it is our business, ain't it?

THIS.

[Brian4Liberty]

Wow, this person has no business being a teacher. Although in fairness, this sounds like some kind of informal discussion, not an actual class. But in the end, it doesn't matter, as she has discredited herself no matter what.

[cstarace]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as long as our federal tax dollars are funding public education, it is our business, ain't it?
Yup. As soon as we return education to the local level, North Carolinians can vote for whatever batshit crazy system of education they wish. Although I highly doubt anybody would support the eradication of the First Amendment. Regardless, until then, it's my business.

[Lishy]

Excuse me for saying the taboo, but this sounds like a case Anonymous might get involved in.. I'm curious! ;o

[specsaregood]

[Lishy]

so you think people in north carolina should be deciding who teaches and what in OH schools? i thought we were for local control around here, turns out you all are just a bunch of interventionists.

If my tax dollar is funding her, I should be able to tell her to STFU and stop giving her money.

Holy shit, what crawled up your ass and died tonight? Since when is complaining about government employees indoctrinating children into believing the First Amendment doesn't exist akin to big government conservatism? We're individuals voluntarily contacting a school district and informing them of indoctrination within their classrooms. They're free to ignore us. We aren't pushing for a government mandate.

Cut it. I support libertarianism as much as anyone else. But the fact of the matter is that we live in a shitty reality where we're paying for her at the moment

The sooner we end the federal program, the better. But until then, I really wish to stop giving her money.

I'm saying that I thought we were for local control. but you guys want to intervene in the happenings at a school you have never seen, let alone have kids attending. you dont see the hypocrisy? i do.

perhaps instead you should call your reps and use this as an example of why we shouldnt be forcing federal control of schools.

These people are not saying we should call the Ohio legislature to write a law to force some curriculum. They are acting like private citizens posting a review on yelp on calling a bad employee's office to complain. Besides, how can it be crossing some state restriction when it is amongst individuals and having nothing to do with official curriculum? There is no use of force here, just free speech.

The only way we can rid ourselves of federally subsidized education is by convincing the masses that it's an out of control useless bureaucracy. Change the appetite for government, as Ron Paul always says. This is a perfect example of why government (especially federally) run school districts don't work. They hire bimbos like this who end up receiving tenure and a benefits package that no private sector job could ever compete with.

This is a wonderful opportunity to expose these public school districts. Don't let a crisis go to waste. If we blow this thing up, it could become national news (I could just imagine Fox News salivating over this).

[LibertyInJeopardy]

Show me a video of rats and roaches and I might along with a link to the evidence. If I did, would I be statist somehow?

If they get so overwhelmed that they need to issue a press release or suspend the teacher indefinitely it most certainly would bring media attention to the situation.

What?? You're logic is horribly flawed. Let me step back a page and pick a 'better' post to respond to. Just a quick question though, what and the hell does Mexican food reviews have to do with a verbally abusive teacher suppressing the Constitution and 'preparing' children to be good little sheep? I'll wait...

Trust and believe, if this incident occured in Ohio, the lack of calls would drive me insane. I welcome anyone to speak out against injustices that occur in Ohio daily. Provided you can make a clear assessment of the situation. (Such as video, audio, statements straight from the 'horse's mouth') It is the calls from thousands of out-of-staters that finally forced the firing of a local thug. Point being, the video evidence provided demonstrated the fact that he was, indeed a thug. Just as the video evidence here clearly demonstrates that this teacher is a 'incompetent, oppressive, biased, moron' who needs to have her teaching license revoked.

My god that was painful to listen to.

We got bigger problems than an idiot teacher spouting off about O-Bomb-ya.

Reason to home school #3912.

[kcchiefs6465]

unless you have kids in that school or live in the community, you have as much business reviewing their employees as you do reviewing a mexican restaurant you have never patronized.
Could I judge the Mexican restaurant if I had video and/or audio of said Mexican restaurant? Maybe in said video/audio they admitted to shredding the Constitution and making a burrito out it. Then, would you feel I could legitimately pass judgement? Perhaps I might just say that maybe they shouldn't be making burritos if they shred the Constitution in the process of doing it. I'm all for local accountability, but what happens when the locales are indoctrined in that same manner? What happens when there are only a few people who understand the Constitution and are willing to take the time to speak up? I'll tell you what happens, babies are born into a world forever indebted, though they will probably never understand how, or why. I would like to personally thank those who figured the next man will stand up and speak out; who were indoctrined to accept this bullshit and not speak a word edgewise. Thank you for leaving my children or grandchildren homeless on the land, previous generations had fought to protect. (Not neccessarily directed towards you) There are too many problems with this for me not to speak against. You'll soon find problems with the leave it to the locales scenario when more and more locales are taught it to be okay to invade your property, steal what they wish, impose their beliefs. This country is quite honestly beyond repair. This shit has been going on for too many generations. :( (I apologize if my pessimism is discouraging)

[LibertyInJeopardy]

I dont want any people for OH telling my schools who to hire, fire or what to teach. you guys can mind your own business. even if you are a chiefs fan -- my first job was at that stadium. I do however encourage everybody to use this as an example of why your tax dollars shouldn't be going to NC.

My position is calling the school and trying to get this woman fired is falling for the trap that its any of your damn business; when it isn't.

I dont see how individuals calling a non-local school in response to a video of a teacher clearly being ignorant of constitutional free speech protections is somehow a matter of state sovereignty. These are individuals complaining about an individual. This is not a matter of any state's concern.

[specsaregood]

..

[LibertyInJeopardy]

Anyone can call, the school can block non local numbers if it causes issues. In this case though it is about a specific incident and not an agenda to force the school to do anything other to take notice and react within their own guidelines in response to the incident. Unless I misunderstood something.

[specsaregood]

..

[LibertyInJeopardy]

I understand what youve been saying, but I still think individuals can call anyone they want and it is none of your business (but you are certainly free to argue against it) and it is not a state sovereignty matter anymore than any other individual opinion is. If someone was proposing a national law or trying to get the state legislature to write new curriculum then id be with you.

[Boss]

You want hordes of homosexuals from san francisco calling your school demanding that a teacher talk about sodomy? Or packs of religious conservatives from kansas calling your school demanding that teachers only teach creationism?

If we're using your logic, I don't see how its any of your damn business if those people you mentioned wish to freely express their beliefs to anyone.

Kid sounds like a punk, can't believe you guys are defending him... and also if you guys want true capitalism. Take your kid out of that school and put him in a private school. Education is not a "right"


Also notice a classic case of conservative racism to this, that kid is going to grow up to be a racist. He woulnd't do that to a white teacher, guarantee it, and there woulnd't be a big hoopla over this if the teacher was white.

This thread is one big sh**fest. Even if we weren't funding this teacher with our tax dollars, every person has the right to complain about any school, and that is completely in line with any libertarian beliefs as long as the school isn't mandated by the government to listen to them. So stop getting on people's cases because it's their right to speak out if they see something wrong with the way the school is doing things. You should also consider that, currently, our tax dollars ARE funding this school and this teacher, so it certainly IS our business.

But, on the other hand, cstarace is being a little dogmatic by shunning open discussion in this thread and trying to police it the way he wants it to go. This is all a bunch of arguing over nothing because, guess what, your calls aren't going to matter anyway. The way the public school system works, it's going to be nearly impossible to get the teacher fired.

As long as I don't use the force of government to affect your school policy, and you don't use the force of government to affect my ability to complain about your school, then we should be fine with each other.

[PaulConventionWV]

You want hordes of homosexuals from san francisco calling your school demanding that a teacher talk about sodomy? Or packs of religious conservatives from kansas calling your school demanding that teachers only teach creationism?

Thanks.

I'd still be interested in reading an unabridged version?

[DEGuy]

I had a similar situation. A student called George Bush the Devil and an idiot and the teacher ( who is liberal ) told him never to disrespect the president of the United States

Frankly, the teacher is right in that situation. Children should be taught to logically defend their position instead of resorting to calling people names like "He's a Devil and an idiot." I would tell a child (and an adult) not to disrepect anyone if I didn't think they were intelligent enough to make an argument without making themselves look like an idiot. ("Tell me Johnny, WHY is the president the Devil?" "Oh, you don't know? Now stop wasting our class time with disrespectful name-calling."


Practically every social studies/government teacher I ever had were blatantly Democrat or Socialists, and unafraid to show it. I never had a problem as long as I was able to defend my point of view with a reasoned argument. Even though we almost always disagreed, they encouraged thoughtful discussion. I like to believe that the majority of teachers still do that.

[specsaregood]

I would be fine with that as long as they don't force the hand of the school via government. If you are a libertarian in any sense of the word, you should hold the same view.

Just cuz you can doesn't mean you should. I don't think having thousands of out of state people with no ties to the school harassing their secretary/principle is very libertarian.

[PaulConventionWV]

I'd like to see any one of you people do what this lady has to do every single day.

It doesn't matter whether we can or can't do her job. That's why it's her job, and she's supposed to do it right. Do you EVER think it right to complain about a bad teacher or do you defend them all because "you'd like to see me do what they have to do." What about a teacher who molests kids? There are teachers like that who, to this day, get paid because they can't be fired. Are you still going to say, "oh, let the teacher be. I'd like to see you do what that teacher has to do every day"?

[PaulConventionWV]

Just cuz you can doesn't mean you should. I don't think having thousands of out of state people with no ties to the school harassing their secretary/principle is very libertarian.

If we didn't have public schools, I doubt that would be a problem.

This is just starting to go viral! Teacher Tanya Dixon-Neely seems like she shouldn't even be trying to teach these kids anything, much less social studies.
kudos to the young man in her class for knowing so much than this so called "educator"!:eek:

This teacher is a poop boss: An individual hired not for the benefit of society, but to fill a quota regarding race, creed, or color. Example: "We decided not to eat at that restaurant any more because of how its management was so obviously staffed with poop bosses."

Making up terms to the benefit of the people and to the detrement of tyranny.

Look at the thread police. You are looking a little hypocritical right now.
I'm not being hypocritical whatsoever. I welcome discussion so long as it's germane to OP. Originally, however, specsaregood was attempting to derail the thread into a discussion of political philosophy by suggesting the teacher was right to suppress the student's speech because guns and power are the only "supreme law of the land" and because of the NDAA. You think this bitch had the NDAA in mind when she verbally abusing the student? I don't think she can spell NDAA.

You must have a comprehension problem. To "derail" a thread includes going offtopic, my comment was completely ontopic. And i never said the teacher was right, I asked why you think she was wrong in her claims, not her actions. I never mentioned the NDAA, I'm fairly certain the past couple presidents have been doing those things prior to the NDAA. Please do try reading.
If I had taken the bait on your "guns and power are the law of the land, not the Constitution" comment, the conversation would've been entirely derailed. You came into the thread intentionally trying to stir up controversy. Yes, of course, the teacher is somewhat correct, but you and I both know that wasn't what she was talking about. She was simply spewing nonsense. The fact that she happened to fall ass-backwards into a semi-realistic argument is irrelevant. Not even she believed what she was saying. She is one of Obama's minions and she felt she was doing her duty by suppressing any sort of rebellion against The Great One. This is where our sheeple are groomed, and it's nice to cut the nonsense off at the source.

Maybe if we didn't have "educators" like this, our country wouldn't be completely devoid of knowledge when it comes to the Constitution and the philosophy of liberty.

She's been suspended... with pay. :rolleyes:


A North Carolina high school teacher reportedly has been suspended with pay after she was captured on video shouting at a student who questioned President Obama and suggesting he could be arrested for criticizing a sitting president.

The Salisbury Post reported Monday that district school officials suspended the teacher in the course of their investigation into the incident.

The newspaper, which first reported on the YouTube video, did not identify the teacher in question, who is reportedly on staff at North Rowan High School. The video does not show faces, but the heated argument in the classroom can clearly be heard.

"Do you realize that people were arrested for saying things bad about Bush?" the teacher said toward the end of the argument, telling the student, "you are not supposed to slander the president."

The student told the teacher that one can't be arrested "unless you threaten the president."

The argument started when the classroom began discussing news reports that Mitt Romney bullied a fellow student when he was in high school. At the time, The Washington Post had recently published a lengthy article alleging that Romney, as a teenager, had cut off another student's hair.

"Didn't Obama bully somebody though?" a student in the North Carolina classroom asked when the report was brought up, referring to an incident Obama described in his memoir "Dreams From My Father." In the book, Obama wrote that, as a child, he once pushed a female classmate after other students taunted them -- the only two black students in their grade -- and called Obama her boyfriend.

The teacher, in the video, said she didn't know whether Obama bullied anyone -- but the argument quickly escalated, as the teacher yelled at the student, telling him "there is no comparison."

"He's running for president," she said of Romney. "Obama is the president."

The student argued that both candidates are "just men," but the teacher took issue with the statement.

"He's just a man. Obama is no god," the student said.

The teacher responded: "Let me tell you something ... you will not disrespect the president of the United States in this classroom."

The teacher went on to say the two candidates are "not equal."

According to the Salisbury Post, the teacher is still employed and has not been suspended.

"The Rowan-Salisbury School System expects all students and employees to be respectful in the school environment and for all teachers to maintain their professionalism in the classroom. This incident should serve as an education for all teachers to stop and reflect on their interaction with students," the school said in a statement, published by the Post. "Due to personnel and student confidentiality, we cannot discuss the matter publicly."

The video was first posted online last week.

North Carolina teacher who berated student over Obama criticism to keep job

The North Carolina high school teacher whose rant against a student who questioned President Obama went viral will keep her job.
The Salisbury Post reports that Tanya Dixon-Neely was suspended without pay, but that she will return to school next year. As a condition of her return, she reportedly will be required to start what was described as a "monitored growth plan."
Superintendent Judy Grissom said in a statement that the teacher fell short of the school system's standards, but expressed a desire to move on from the incident.
"While I remain deeply concerned about the performance documented in the recording of Ms. Dixon-Neely's classroom, I have concluded that she should have a chance to improve her teaching skills," Grissom reportedly said.
In the original video, which went viral last month, student Hunter Rogers elicited a heated response from the teacher when he criticized Obama. The argument started when the classroom began discussing news reports that Mitt Romney bullied a fellow student when he was in high school. At the time, The Washington Post had recently published a lengthy article alleging that Romney, as a teenager, had cut off another student's hair.
"Didn't Obama bully somebody though?" Rogers asked when the report was brought up, referring to an incident Obama described in his memoir, "Dreams From My Father."
The teacher, in the video, said she didn't know whether Obama bullied anyone -- but the argument quickly escalated, as the teacher yelled at the student, telling him "there is no comparison."
She later said: "Do you realize that people were arrested for saying things bad about Bush?"
The student told the teacher that one can't be arrested "unless you threaten the president."
