Teacher Tells Student it’s a Crime to Criticize President Obama

Update On Hunter Rogers

Here's a disturbing update on Hunter Rogers -- the North Carolina high school student who videotaped his teacher threatening him with jail for allegedly being disrespectful toward Barack Obama. The teacher, Tanya Dixon-Neely, was initially suspended with pay. She has since been told that she will be allowed to keep her job. But that's not the disturbing part.

After Rogers' video went viral, he became the subject of threats and harassment from students and the school! In an interview with Breitbart News, his sister said that there are students in school who are related to Dixon-Neely and they have physically threatened him.

Worse, school officials have berated him for embarrassing the school and refused the family's request to allow Rogers to complete his final three weeks of the school year at home for his own safety. According to the report, Rogers was permitted to come to school late, "be secluded from other students during the school day" and leave late so as to avoid being assaulted. In short, the atmosphere is so bad that the only way the school can guarantee his safety is to isolate him.

And to add insult to injury, the school slapped Rogers with a suspension for videotaping in the classroom!

Imagine if this situation were reversed. Suppose a gay teenager had been "bullied" by a conservative teacher. I guarantee you that teacher would have been fired on the spot. Moreover, the school would have bent over backwards to accommodate any request from the family and to quash the "atmosphere of hate" if he felt threatened by other students.

It's okay to videotape cops roughing up someone without knowing anything else about what happened before that incident. Those folks are hailed as heroes. The Occupy Wall Street movement constantly videotaped the police, hoping to intimidate them. But a kid who videotapes his teacher trying to indoctrinate a class with false information about Barack Obama gets punished.

This is how the left wins, my friends. The "tyrants of tolerance" do not hesitate to intimidate and silence their opposition. They are bitter, angry people. We saw it in the violence and vandalism that was so rampant in the Occupy Wall Street movement.
