Diantha Harris

N.C. School teacher browbeats student over being a McCain supporter

I'm sick of this crap!

“ Harris is seen asking her class whom they support in the presidential race. Another student says Obama and then one girl says John McCain. “Oh lord, John McCain,” Harris says in the film. “Oh Jesus.” She then asks the student why she is pulling for John McCain. The student says it’s because her parents are voting for him. .... Harris nods her head in approval. “So in other words Barack is going to end that war in Iraq,” she says. She then asks the class what they know about the war. She asks the girl who said she was supporting McCain to speak up because her father was in the military. The student remains quiet. “It’s a senseless war,” Harris says in the film. “And by the way, Kathy, the person you are picking for president said that our troops will stay in Iraq for another hundred years if they need to.” The student doesn’t respond. “So that means your daddy is going to be in the military for another hundred years,” she tells the child. Harris on Thursday said she wasn’t advocating for one candidate over the other and that the footage of her lesson is heavily edited. ” That this clip is from a Swedish documentary made a few years ago is moot.
