You know, I can understand the mother to some extent. We have had some of our own members irritated with liberal teachers and probably close to doing something similar HOWEVER there is a time and a place for everything...this is one thing liberals never seem to understand. Texting your teenage daughter in class and disrupting the classroom environment is not an appropriate time for the PARENT to take the teacher on. The 'kid' is almost an adult: cut the apron springs mom and let her defend herself and her beliefs.
