Nobody thought this election would be easy, and sure enough it is bringing out the darker racist side that lurks in some of our fellow humans who otherwise seemed to be decent contributing members of society. Sorry folks, nowhere does the Constitution offer you the right to be racist, that’s just wrong and we, as a people, have moved past it - get along with the program.

A seventh grade social studies teacher in Florida was reprimanded by his school board with a punishment of 10 days suspension without pay and being forced to attend a sensitivity and diversity training seminar. His crime? He asked the students a question about Senator Obama’s call for change and the wrote the letters C-H-A-N-G-E on the board and said that they stood for “Can You Help A (expletive deleted) Get Elected.”

According to the report the teacher repeated this several times throughout the day. A teacher should never ever be expressing something so offensive to students.
