That teacher should be fired. What a moron! Obama supporters are a death cult as far as I am concerned. Come to think of it, the 30th anniversary of Jonestown Massacre is looming.

If they'd off themselves, I'd have to count that as damned considerate of them, actually.

Lots of comments.  Diantha's got some 'splaining to do.

Looks like Casey Anthony, Lori Drew, and Fred Phelps have company. Come on down, Diantha Harris.

Superintendent William C. Harrison responds to Diantha Harris's action. He is not too happy about it.

Good for him.

I for one am glad that he responded in video.

That bitch is teaching in Fayetteville?!  Something tells me she hasn't made smartassed, snide remarks about the military in her classes there.  The entire county owes its existence to Ft. Bragg.  I'll be sending some emails and making a couple of calls.  In fact, my first LTC is still there and works with a prominent RE agency.  I'm sending this to him as well.

it's already all over the news here in fayettenam...

In the first min. of the video he looks like it is all he can do to NOT launch into a tirade of obscenities directed at that POS teacher.  :censored:

Fayetteville teacher says video clip doctored YEAH RIGHT! :thatsright:

Teacher Diatha D. Harris appears in a video posted on YouTube on Friday in which she questioned pupils at Mary McArthur Elementary School who said they supported John McCain for president.


 
A Fayetteville teacher is defending comments she made to fifth-graders who expressed support for John McCain in class last spring.

The interaction between Diatha D. Harris and pupils at Mary McArthur Elementary School was captured in May by a Swedish television documentary crew. Harris says “Oh Jesus” when, during a discussion about the election, a few students said they supported McCain. She tells one girl whose father is in the military that McCain would prolong the Iraq War, “so that means that your daddy could stay in the military for another 100 years.”

A video clip of the discussion spread on the Internet on Friday, with bloggers and other viewers demanding Cumberland County fire the veteran educator. In an interview late Thursday, Harris says the clip was doctored and blames the controversy on McCain supporters who aren’t happy about the election.

Nonetheless, schools Superintendent Bill Harrison took an unusual step Friday of making his own YouTube video, in which he reads a statement saying he was “shocked” and “disturbed” by what he saw. He promises to take “appropriate action” following an investigation.

The documentary, “From Bill to Barack: A Journey from 1992 to 2008,” is about how changes in American society might influence the 2008 presidential election. It aired on a Swedish-language TV channel in Finland on Sunday night, according to the filmmaker’s Web site.

The clip filmed in Fayetteville shows Harris quizzing pupils about their presidential preferences. Harris, 53, asks the children why they support McCain or Barack Obama.

One child said she supports Obama because he would end the war. Then Harris turns to a girl, who says she supports McCain because her parents did, and says, “Talk to me, because your dad is in the military.”

The girl doesn’t respond.

“It’s a senseless war,” Harris says. “And by the way ... the person that you’re picking for president said that our troops could stay in Iraq for another 100 years if they need to. So that means that your daddy could stay in the military for another hundred years.”

What a moron! Trying the victim card. Sorry, that won't cut it with me. I have heard people say, "Oh, my brother died on 9/11", so everyone should feel sorry for me. Well, too bad.  :bird: :redbird: I say fire Diantha Harris. Looks like we have a Lori Drew in the form of a school teacher.

I went diving into Finnish videos On YubaTuba and found the unedited edition.  Seems in that version she goes on and on about how she has sex with rabbits and they are the best lovers EVER.

Students defend former Asheville teacher
Updated November 9, 2008 9:33 pm

Asheville Citizen-Times

ASHEVILLE – The Cumberland County school system is investigating the actions of a former Asheville teacher criticized for “belittling” a student who voiced support for presidential candidate John McCain.

But the parents of that student, and the student herself, said Friday that teacher Diantha Harris did nothing wrong.

“She is usually messing around,” said Cathy Thompson, who was in Harris' fifth-grade class in May when a Swedish film crew visited for a documentary on American politics. “When she said that, I knew she was messing around.”

Sorry, the stupid moronic teachers needs to be fired. She even shed those crocodilian tears. Pathetic! Politics has no place in the classroom.

It was probably the mom of one of the Obama fan kids that said that.  Nevermind, I read the whole article and it wasn't! :thatsright:  I am beyond perplexed as to why a military family would find that kind of crap OK.  But, if they are OK with their little girl being belittled and mocked then who are we to argue. :whatever:

I read the article.....and I must have misunderstood...because I read it that she left Asheville in 2004. Which doesn't make sense because she wouldn't have been discussing Obama and McCain, the 100 yr war comment, etc. I must be having a reading comprehension problem..... :thatsright:
