College Fires Professor For Making Students Sign Obama Pledge
A college professor has been placed on leave after she allegedly forced her class to sign a pledge to vote for President Obama in the upcoming elections.
Early last week Professor Sharon Sweet at Brevard Community College (BCC) allegedly told students to sign a pledge that reads: “I pledge to vote for President Obama and Democrats up and down the ticket.”
A college professor has been placed on leave after she allegedly forced her class to sign a pledge to vote for President Obama in the 2012 elections.
The pledge was printed off of GottaVote.org, a website funded by the Obama campaign.
University administrators said they learned about the incident late Thursday afternoon and launched an investigation, after they received a phone call from a concerned parent.
“Based on the allegations, Associate Professor Sweet has requested, and been granted, a leave of absence without pay effective immediately,” reads a statement put out by John Glisch, Associate Vice President for Communications at BCC.

A leave of absence without pay is not quite the same thing as getting pink slipped, terminated for cause or being forced to resign. This should be reflected on the permanent record of this ‘professor’. That such judgement seemed appropriate to her signifies a real issue with reality when it comes to dealing with young minds.

They should hang her upside down from the flagpole until she repents. Then fire the traitor for aiding a known enemy.

Should be interesting for her. There aren’t that many jobs for fired teachers, well for any teachers. I wonder how she’ll find being unemployed or working for minimum wage as she hasn’t developed any marketable skills.

I actually received my associate’s degree from BCC.
It is a great community college in a very REPUBLICAN county at least it was when I left a few years ago.
I am proud there has been a resolution to this in a matter of hours~ I am going to have to donate as an alumni now to show support!

What do you think the Chicago Annenberg Challenge was all about, with Obama as CEO and having burned through over 100 million dollars without any positive improvements in school performance.
