Don’t watch this if you’re already having a good day. Trust me, this video will ruin it.
What the hell kind of person do you have to be to do something like that to a kid? What an effin’ hypocritical bitch.
Diantha Harris, when you have gone and risked your life serving in the military, then you will have the right to berate others that make that choice. Until then, STFU.
PS – I can’t wait until people like Harris get a load of this. Adjusted timetable + keeping Gates as Secretary of Defense (not official, but heavily rumored) = no end to the Iraq War anytime soon. Welcome to reality bitches.
UPDATE – Someone’s gonna get fired….
CCS Headline News – Superintendent’s Response to YouTube
I was shocked when I saw the clip of an interaction between a Cumberland County Schools teacher and her students as posted on YouTube. While neutral discussion of the political process is appropriate, at no time, particularly with elementary students, should a teacher infuse his/her political views into the discussion. Most disconcerting was the military slant that made its way into this discussion. We are a military community, serving over 15,000 military students and their families. We value the sacrifices, not only of the military parents but also those of their families.
We believe that military children are our children, military spouses are many of our employees, and military service men and women are our heroes. We proudly serve our military children and have received national awards for our support of military families.
I was particularly disturbed to see the uncomfortable position in which our children were placed due to the inappropriate actions of one of our teachers. Please be assured that the actions exhibited in this video are not consistent with the vision of the CCS. Moreover, the actions of one teacher do not represent the 7000 employees in our organization.
Once the video was brought to my attention, I immediately launched an investigation. Personnel laws prevent me from releasing information regarding individual employees and personnel action taken. I can assure you that upon completion of the investigation, I will take appropriate action.
Dr. William Harrison
CCS’ Superintendent
There was also a YouTube statement from Dr. Harrison, which has magically been pulled from YouTube. Wonder why that happened……

I watched this video and was forced to ask myself if this woman taught in an inner city school? Does this school have good funding? What type of background does she come from? Was she educated in the same type of school with poor funding? How many well educated people are in her neighborhood? Has she ever had a positive role model with unbiased opinions?
I don’t consider myself a democrat or a republican but I feel the conservatives seem to think that society has given these people everything they needed to be just as successful as someone from a more affluent background. This is simply not true. There are some people who, when raised in this environment, can do great things. Just like there are those from a much more privileged background that will make poor choices and end up in bad situations. But the vast majority of people continue doing what they have learned to do. What they have learned from their poorly educated teachers, their underfunded schools, and a system that feeds them the scraps that are left after the more affluent have had their fill.
Hope to hear back on Patriot 144
