Why would anyone do that?

[rocks 494]

because they are racist

it's a big problem down here... someone a friend of mine works with said they'd vote for obama because they'd rather have a black person (insert word that starts with n here) than a woman in control.

Sound more like a tepid Obama supporter to me.

that would mean he'd have to be able to read! don't give him so much credit hehe

seriously though, traditionally he would vote republican, and that is the reason he won't be this time. i'm shocked that someone could say that, i really am.

Its not even important that he wrote it about Obama - its just a dumb thing to do. Why he thought this was somehow acceptable speech for someone in a position of authority - is just beyond me.

If this had been a slur against christianity (and/or a Republican), you'd be burning down this thread!

as i said, racism is rife in the south

racism is dumb and for someone to abuse their power like that... well... if a person in power cannot be trusted to behave they should be banned from ever being in any position of power again. sadly i think he will return to work and he will continue to push his views onto others.

It's good that the NAACP are investigating further before they decided whether to take action. However, I'd be interested to know what sort of context would make this acceptable.

Absolutely shameful...I teach American Government to 17-18 year olds, and I think it is inappropriate to show a political preference in the classroom, much less spewing that kind of garbage...

And he was a MIDDLE school teacher?!?!?!?!

If that were the case, the slur would have plenty of other defenders in OT.

Numbnuts needs to get fired like right now.

How's that for change?
