The North Carolina high school student who was berated by his teacher after he spoke critically of President Obama told Fox News on Monday that he wanted to "laugh" when he heard the teacher suggest he could be arrested for criticizing a sitting president.
"Honestly, at the time I wanted to laugh at her, because I've been taught all my life that nobody can take your opinion," Hunter Rogers said. He said he knew that it takes an actual threat against the president, not just criticism, to be arrested.
Hunter Rogers and his mother Gina spoke to Fox News about the incident and the recording of the argument that later went viral on YouTube.
"(The teacher) doesn't want to hear anything but what she believes, and ... if you disagree, you get berated and put down," Rogers said. "I just decided to finally get some proof of it."

I have a feeling that a lot more teachers will be "outed" for their behavior by smart phones. You can not come to school and act like that anymore without ending up all over the internet.
Oh so the teacher gets a paid vacation for her actions? hmmmmm
The school system said in a statement that it "expects all students and employees to be respectful in the school environment and for all teachers to maintain their professionalism in the classroom."
Oookaaay... Should this start with the teacher, the adult paid and charged with promoting a civil exchange?
Had the teacher been white and made such remarks about Bush, she would have been fired then and there. This is what Affirmative Action and union tenure has placed in the classroom where caring well educated and articulate teachers once held class.
