Thanks to my friend at POW in CA, I have additional information for you regarding the video I posted previously under the headline, “Your Taxes at Work”. The teacher in the video is Ms Diantha Harris, who is employed at Mary McArthur Elementary School in Fayetteville, North Carolina. For those of you not familiar with the military, that school is located near Fort Bragg.
As the daughter of a military veteran, I’m completely outraged at her treatment of that poor little girl. I know at least a portion of the fears that little girl must be going through, as I saw my father being sent off on military duty many, many times as a young child. To have a teacher ream into her like that, it’s reprehensible. There is no excuse for that behavior, none whatsoever. In my opinion, no amount of re-training can ever make up for what she’s done in this video. But what makes this worse, is she knew she was being video taped. What has she done outside the scope of a camera? What else have these poor children been subjected to under her tutelage?

Thankfully the school superintendent is aware of the situation, has already begun an investigation, and has pledged to take “appropriate action.” I hope that “appropriate action” is having that woman fired. No other consequence would satisfy the scope of her offense.

If you’d like to see what the superintendent had to say, click here. I’ll also be hosting a copy of the response, just for the sake of archiving it. To see it, click “more”.

You absolutely have to see this. It’s a video from a Finnish documentary that shows a teacher completely brow beating one of her students for supporting John McCain, while coddling the students who support Barack Obama. Remember, this is a public school. What she’s doing is illegal, and worst of all, apparently she knows it! Pay attention to her little speech at the end of the video.

I think it’s about time this woman was fired, don’t you? We don’t need our children beaten up for their beliefs, scared by falsehoods about their parents, and outright brainwashed by their teachers. This is pathetic. Yes, lady, opinions are fine, but you’re an authority figure in that classroom. By law you are required to check your political opinions at the door and be completely neutral. Otherwise you’re abusing your authority. Period.
We have a serious problem in this nation, in our schools especially. Apparently the rest of the world can see it, so why can’t we?
