SPENCER, N.C. – A teacher at a Rowan County school has been suspended after getting national attention for a YouTube video video that surfaced last week showing her yelling at her students, saying it’s wrong to criticize the president.
In the YouTube video, North Rowan High School teacher Tonya Dixon-Neely and her students were debating several political issues, including a discussion about President Obama and Republican candidate Mitt Romney.

The video, which was uploaded on May 14, had more than 178,000 views on YouTube as of Monday afternoon. The story has been picked up by national media outlets, including Fox News and the New York Post. Controversial radio host Rush Limbaugh discussed the issue on his radio show on Monday afternoon as well.

The conversation starts as the class discusses recent accusations that Mitt Romney bullied someone as a teenager in the 1960s.

But the conversation quickly turns into an argument between several students and the teacher, with some students questioning Obama and asking if Obama bullied someone in high school as well.

“That’s disrespect. This man (Romney) is a presidential candidate. He’s not the president,” the teacher is heard shouting. “Let me tell you something. You will not disrespect the president of the United States in this classroom.”

She screams at the student, and is the one acting like the child here.

Listen for yourself. Her whole defense is, Obama is the President, you can't say anything bad about him, but Romney WANTS to be President, and because he's not yet, it's fair to criticize him and his past.

Obama admitted himself to bullying the little girl.

There really is no defense to this, Stroybook. But you'll probably give it your best, huh?

GW Bush arrested the official presidential nominees of the Libertarian Party and the Constitutional Party, and one of the Republican Party condidates.

Hussein Obama Soetoro arrested the only Democratic Party candidate, John Edwards, with a life sentence on death row, if he's lucky, and seeks to jail all U.S. journalists who criticize him.

So, that makes it okay for you to make up things that didn't happen.

Gotcha.

Well, lets see, it has already been pointed out to you IN THIS THREAD, but I'll go over it again, since you asked nicely.

You claimed the teacher was ok with bashing Bush. In the video she clearly says that bashing no president is acceptable...or....the exact opposite of what you claimed, in your post of the video.

Vocab time! When you say something that is the oppostie of true -wait for it- THATS A LIE!

The dangerous part is earlier when they are in the substantive portion of the discussion. She simply does not see Barrack Obama and the Mitt Romney as equals. That somehow Barrack Obama by virtue of being President is superiour to all other American citizens. Yet we know she did not consider all Presidents that way since she does not hold Bush in that regard. So why is Barrack Obama different? He is black. A black President in her world view is superior to a white challenger. This betrays a deeper racism. I believe that she believes that blacks in general are superior to whites.

Her argument with a student is bad, her deeper racial animosity is the larger danger.

Hero...must be right on all of this. ALL of the rest of us are wrong. Chrisisall, 2012

On all of these points, I agree.

Serious consideration should be given to firing this teacher...not saying she should be for sure, but it needs to be on the table.

OF COURSE, we should be able to criticize a sitting president, few actions are as fundamentally American as that.

SALISBURY — Rowan-Salisbury Schools officials suspended a North Rowan High School teacher Monday while investigating an incident caught on camera where the teacher told a student he could be arrested for speaking ill of President Barack Obama.

In a nearly 10-minute YouTube video shot by a student in the classroom, Tanya Dixon-Neely, a social studies teacher, told students criticism of the president could lead to jail time.

“Do you realize that people were arrested for saying things bad about Bush?” she said of former President Bush. “Do you realize you are not supposed to slander the president?”

Dixon-Neely has been suspended with pay, according to Rowan-Salisbury School System Spokeswoman Rita Foil.

On Friday, Foil said the incident can be a learning experience.

“The Rowan-Salisbury School System expects all students and employees to be respectful in the school environment and for all teachers to maintain their professionalism in the classroom. This incident should serve as an education for all teachers to stop and reflect on their interaction with students.”

A Salisbury Post reporter went to Dixon-Neely's home for comment this morning, but no one answered the door. Calls to her number have gone unanswered and there is no answering machine.

The video went viral over the weekend and viewership jumped from about 1,000 views to more than 168,000 Monday morning.

You know what's amusing to me about the righties' constant claims that those who get help from any of the government safety nets would happily continue doing so, etc., etc.? I'd bet dollars to donuts they don't KNOW any of those people, or know one or two they don't like or something. They make these grand statements...fed to them by their "leaders", without knowing even slightly what it's like to be someone dependent on government help. The saying is that we transfer our own worst aspects to those we dislike, in which case, their belief that everyone getting help from the government would do so indefinitely is a reflection of nothing but their OWN attitude! In other words, if THEY were being provided for by a safety net, THEY would happily take the money and run...which is funny as hell.

People who get a Govt. check think they're quite free, and they get free money...whoo whoo! If the money is removed or reduced someday they will riot and burn everything down. That's the future of Obama's freedom in America.

That's beyond absurd. There's nothing remotely close to "PN" about my posts, and you know it. Why do I say that ? Because , even if pressed, you couldn't find any thing that supports your claim. Not that you would,even if you thought you could, but that's another issue.

Now imagine if she hadn't resolved this disruption. I'm sure we'd be reading, or hearing, or watching, about how a student was able to dominate and disrupt as entire class. About a how student was able to escalate statements into outrageousness.
