2008-11-07
This is disgusting. An Obama supporting teacher in Asheville, North Carolina, is caught on tape ridiculing the young daughter of a soldier stationed in Iraq.

To keep from launching into a frothing tirade I'll just make this simple comment:
This story angers me.

This is a video of Diantha Harris, a lifelong democrat and avid Barack Obama supporter. She is also a lousy schoolteacher, as is evidenced by the mushmouthed kids in her class. And instead of concentrating on grammar and English, math and science, she abuses and ridicules any child who dares to speak up in support of John McCain. This video is part of a Finnish documentary on Obama fans, and it is shocking that you have to go to a foreign country to learn what goes on in our own classrooms.

See how she singles out the little girl and mocks her for having an absent parent, who is off defending the country, and lies to her, saying her Dad would have to stay in Iraq for a hundred years? The little girl was ready to cry.

Partial Transcript:
We want to talk about the presidential election. I want to ask you, who are you pulling for? Raise your hand.
Obama.
You pullin for Obama. Who you pullin for?
Obama.
Any of you pullin for John McCain? That's fine, say him as well.
Obama.
Obama.
John, oh lord, John McCain.
Oh Jesus, John McCain.
ok, now I wanna axe you somethin.
why are you pullin for John McCain? It's ok, but why are you pullin for John McCain?
I thinks it's because my parents are going for him too.
Ok, your parents are going for him. Why are you pullin for Borack. Barack
I just want a black president sometimes.
Ok, you want a black president.
The reason why I want Barack Obama is because he's making good changes in the good country and stuff like that.
So, he's making good changes for our country. Now can you tell me just a little bit more, like what type of changes?
Like not having big fights between Iraq and having soldiers killed.
So in other words, Barack is going to end that war in Iraq. What do you all know about that war in Iraq?
[Harris addresses Kathy] Talk, cause yo daddy in the military. Talk. It's a senseless war! And by the way, Kathy, the person that you're picking for president said that our troops could stay in Iraq for another hundred years if they need to!
[Kathy bites her lip, looks ashamed. Other kids stare at Kathy, laugh, smirk.]
So that means that your daddy could stay in the military for another hundred years!

===================================
Now. Here's the information that you're wanting right about now.

The teacher's name is Diantha Harris. Although this incident took place in Asheville, NC, Harris is currently in the Cumberland county school system in Fayetteville.

Harris' School email form can be accessed here:

#17  Did anyone notice that this happened LAST SPRING, and we're just getting to hear about it, AFTER BO is elected? We really need to start battering the he$$ out of the syncoptic press that did everything, including lying, whoring, and falsifying reporting to get a Democrat elected. They need to do more than just fold - the people at the top need to learn what the inside of a jail looks like - for several years.

#14  I'm with JFM on this. Sue the arse off her. And the school board. As much as outsiders view the US as litagation happy (not that Aus is much better these days) I'v come to the conclusion that
peaople who live in a moral vacuum will only ever feel any remorse through the hip pocket.

#13  Perhaps OT, but last night I had the honor to attend my Grand-daughter's school program honoring the flag and the veterans that fought to keep it flying. These are 1st-4th graders ( Bekah is in 2nd)
anyway, it started with 'Betsy' sewing the flag and describing that Gen. Washington wanted a uniform symbol for the Colonies. Then the story flashed through the War of 1812, the Civil War, both WW, Korea, VN, DS1 and ended with the Cole.
Then each service's song was played and vets from that branch stood.
It was well worth the 9 hours of windshield time to attend.

Topper was that the little girl doing the narration was a 5xgreat granddaughter of Betsy Ross herself!

so this rasict black bitch can go f herself.

#11  School choice. We wouldn't patronize a company that produces shoddy merchandise and insults the customers. Why should we be forced to buy an inferior educational product?

#10  Parents should pay directly for their children's education then they'll actually care about what they are buying.

#6  this is fucking disgusting. i couldn't even watch the rest after they left the classroom scene and then the teacher saying she can support who she wants too support. You can't discriminate against religion but you can discriminate against a swhat 13 yr old student who really doesn't understand and then pick on her. I thought teachers where suppoosed too be role models? Sorry but if that where my daughter that bitch would be picking her teeth up the next morning

#4  I'm the guy who broke the story, please supply a link to the original post: http://tundratabloid.blogspot.com/2008/11/swedish-documentary-shows-ashville.html

I reported it as being from Ashville due to the documentary, because the family is from Asheville, her ex-husband a part of the Asheville School board. Her kids were raised there as well. I spent alot of time trying to find this woman, and due to the producers of the documentary misspelling her name, resulted in her being labeled as being a part of the Asheville school system.

Also Debbie Schlussel ran the story after I informed her,

I am presently updating all three posts with the new information on this incident. The Asheville local paper, the Citizen-Times spoke with me, and mentioned the TT is its article.

#3  Years a go a colleague of mine was PCS'd (assigned) to the Special Warfare Center (SWC) at Bragg, NC. His wife was a school teacher. I asked him if his wife was going to continue to teach. He just laughed and replied, "Hell no! North Carolina schools are ranked 38th in the nation. Cumberland County schools are ranked LAST in North Carolina. End of discussion.

#2  My answer is: Sue. Sue for the abuse at an innocent person (attacking someone even Hitler relatives for something one of his relatives did is IMHO, a form of racism). Sue for predating on a child. But that is for the criminal part.

Sue also for spending her time, a a time who belongs not to her but to the tax payer, for something differnt than what it was supposed to be. Not to mention dammage to the education (and future revenue) of the children since all tghis time wasn't spent on their education. And sue the school for allowing this to happen.

Once some teachers and schools are forced to pay millions of dollars in compansation that kind of things will no longer happen. And little Americans will get a better education.
