Diantha Harris: Now I can support whomever I want to support, as long as I don’t brownbeat [sic] another person for the candidate that they supported. Like I have some students that support John McCain, and when they told me that, I said ah … “that’s good’ and I just moved on. So, I think that everybody is entitled to their own personal opinion. And we have something in our school system that’s called Kids Voting. In my class … Barack Obama won. [Harris grins.]

Opinions are like armpits. Everyone has a couple and they often stink.
Yeah, kc, but she shouldn't be doing this to a kid in school.
She shouldn't be doing it to any kid.
Discussion of what's going on is OK, but she's bullying and frightening that girl, and using the other students to help in the bullying.
Honey, the best time to twist their little sculls-full-o-mush to The One & Friends is when they're young. Most people - teachers included - haven't the slightest clue about "discussion." More like "my way or the highway." They don't 'teach' - they 'educate.'
Coming from a long line of school teachers in every grade, I can say they DIDN'T all used to be like this, they're not ALL like that now...but with former 60s radicals running the universities, what do we really expect. Goes from them to the university student, who takes it to her classroom. And listening to my cousins, who are in a recent group of graduates, this is exactly what was intended.
That should be skulls-full-o-mush...sheesh! I was very good at spelling - when I was in school! REALLY!
