Teacher in trouble for requiring students


Posted: Sep 18, 2012

in her class to sign a pledge to vote for Obama. Above and beyond the scope of her math class teaching responsibilities, and also breaks the law. http://riehlworldview.com/2012/09/florida-professor-sharon-sweet-made-students-sign-vote-for-obama-pledge.htmlhttp://watchdog.org/56610/fl-watchblog-obama-vote-pledge/ ;

Good. Hope she can never get a teaching job again. - nm

It probably did happen 4 years ago, but it has happened again. A Google search brought me to this:
http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/09/18/3008475/fla-professor-asks-students-to.html

Me too, especially since link to riehlworldview - already went "poof" and disappeared.

Wonder what that's all about?

Really? I just checked; it's still there - sm

The post has two sites listed with no space between them. Separate those two and you can see the article at both sites.

I don't think this is a party issue - sm

I see this as more of an individual issue rather than a party issue. No one should be campaigning on the community dime. If this professor were campaigning for Romney, I would not hold it against republicans.

IF TRUE (unverified), everything's working out as - it should. The system's working.

Note, I didn't find any dependable source to confirm this in the first 2 pages of googling, although in a nation of 300 million dingdongs it could certainly be true. What matters is that this sort of thing is not tolerated.

Virginia Says No To Requiring Health InsuranceFeb 03, 2010
Virginia's Democratic-controlled state Senate passed measures Monday that would make it illegal to require individuals to purchase health insurance, a direct challenge to the party's efforts in Washington to reform health care.   But the action in Virginia, a state that backed Obama in 2008, could indicate that the president is failing to reassure members of his own party that current reform efforts remain worthwhile. The votes also suggest that Democrats on the state level fear ...

ACA Requiring Companies To Provide Insurance To Workers Of 30 Hours Or More Per Week.Jan 14, 2014
I just learned that under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) companies with greater than 50 employees are required to offer insurance to all employees who work an average of 30 or greater hours per week.  My company offers us insurance but you have to meet a production requirement consistently in order to qualify for this, and I know a lot of MTs struggle with this production requirement and therefore even if they work 35-plus hours per week they may not make the production requirement to earn a ...

Teacher TroublesDec 09, 2010
This has been a pretty upsetting year for my 10 year old boy (5th grade, and 6th grade advanced math -- two schools).  He is considered gifted and his teacher is a crazy person.  She says there is nothing that she can do to teach him this year, as he is already reading at post 12th grade level.  Her main curriculum is arts and crafts, weaving, knitting, finger-painting, cutting and pasting, and coloring.  I expressed this concern at conferences and she said if ...

My little guy has 1 teacher and 1 assistant in preschool, so I would need for them too. Also my big guy has a bus driver and an assistant so I want to get them a little something as well.

Great - more male (?) snowflakes with pansies stuck up their behinds.

Pardon me if I still prefer manly men (and womanly women), and I don't think the male population is infected with "toxic" masculinity or needs any help from liberal university simps. Social engineering of the most extreme (and frightening) variety. You couldn't make ...
