Teacher in NC gives a demonstration of liberal tolerance.

I believe the proper term here is cunt.

Or indoctrinating whore cow. Either or.

when she talks shit about Bush.

This doesn't seem like an example of "liberal" anything to me. More like someone who has too much deference for authority and doesn't quite understand how laws actually work.

And from the original article linked to in the story:

So, the student was slandering Obama, the current president. The teacher corrected that. Right now, under the teacher's imaginary law, it would only be illegal to slander Obama... right?

What point were you trying to make?

She doesn't make it clear whether or not she thinks it applies to former presidents as well, but she does make it clear that she'd have had the same reaction to someone slandering Bush four years ago, or someone slandering Romney a year from now, if he wins the election.

Right. She didn't actually say what she said.

None of the people on that video sound like grown-ups. Whether that is an indictment of the video or the teacher, I don't know.

Wow. That teacher needs to kill herself.

If only because her classroom management skills are so poor. Listen to all the talking going on.

So what child actually got jailed for disrespecting Bush? Please, share it with the class.

Unless this kid is a miltary General (if so, they are really fast-tracking!) being insubordinate, I don't think he can get in serious legal trouble.

Yeah, she's an awful teacher, but what she said doesn't match the narrative the righties are trying to spread.

As if that makes it okay to be a teacher in a public school and to be completely clueless about a subject that most laymen understand.

Did she learn how to bully high school students from Mitt Romney?

Tried to listen to the whole thing, but it was giving me a headache. Too much like The Jerry Springer Show. Maybe times have changed, but a teacher not having control of a class to that degree would never happen when I went to school. How can you teach or learn in that atmosphere?

Ask Dayton.

I've always heard it used like that, and I lived in a middle-upper class white suburb.

Yeah, I've heard it used as a verb as far back as I can remember.

Fifty years old over here boss! I've heard "disrespectful" all my life. My childhood was 99.99999 percent Casper white.
That said, I never heard the shortened term "dis" until I guess about the 1980's.
Make of that what you will.

What gets me is that the silly bitch is a SOCIAL STUDIES teacher.

She might get a pass if she taught art or PE or math. But she teaches social studies!

I weep for our children.

Yea, that's what I was thinking. Never mind the lack of skill with the english language, apparently that is something that doesn't matter anymore, but to go on like she did and then to take ten minutes to go back and backtrack to cover all presidents shows me there is a serious need for personel who are more inclined to strive for better than the accepted norm.

How is it poor grammar when it's the correct usage?

You don't have to be smart or have a natural talent to be a teacher - you just have to check all the blocks, and go through the education and training.

And belong to the teachers union.

Its. ITS. Don't be commenting on poor grammar when you use the wrong form of it.

Actually, frontline's useage that you highlighted is right.

Its = an inanimate object

It's = short of "it is."

And since the topic came up, anyone that uses contractions in speech isn't speaking proper English since, technically, contractions aren't in the language.

Or should I say "are not."

But seriously...language changes. I used to be one of those anal-retentive asshats like that (not calling frontline an asshat or anal retentive). You won't find the word "prioritize" in any dictionary before 1985, or example--people would put things "into priority."

Actually, it probably should be it's either way. Possessive pronouns all add s just like you do with proper nouns, somewhere along the way we just got rid of the apostrophe. But its pretty evident that it was originally the same construct.

Mary's is possessive, at one point it wasn't hers, but her's.

English is a SILLY language.
