Teacher Ridicules Student for Romney T-Shirt
Events unfolded last Friday. Nothing out of the ordinary happened until the student arrived at her geometry class -- before that time the shirt didn't raise any objections.
However, the offending teacher saw the Romney / Ryan shirt "and told me to get out of the classroom, I said no," Samantha explained on "The Kudlow Report."
~snip~
When she stood her ground and refused to change, Samantha said the teacher pulled her into the hall and encouraged others to make fun of her. And according to news reports, the teacher attempted to scribble on the shirt.
Samantha also admitted to Kudlow that she was so embarrassed by what happened she hasn't returned to class. "I don't want to be threatened and I want the teacher to be fired."

Now I'll tell you that I will not stand for an adult humiliating a child, and if it does prove to be the case here the teacher in question should receive appropriate disciplinary action. However, the story just doesn't ring true, and at the very least I think there's way more to the story than what Faux news is putting out.

for wearing a POLITICAL t-shirt. It's the norm that students aren't allowed to wear political clothing to school. But I seriously doubt the teacher encouraged others to make fun of her, etc. The teacher would merely have sent her to the principal's office. The teacher has total authority in that area.
