| A tenured professor who forced her students to sign pledges that they would vote for President Obama last November should be fired, the college’s president recommended. Sharon Sweet, an associate professor of mathematics at Brevard Community College in Florida, is guilty of electioneering, harassment, and incompetence, according to a three-month investigation into her classroom behavior leading up to the November election. The Board of Trustees will hold a hearing on the matter, and then vote on whether to adopt President James Richey’s recommendation that Sweet be fired. According to a report on the investigation:

Comments: And there are thousands more just like her who should be fired for their gross incompetence in promoting their destructive, anti-American ideology.

The only good thing about this is that the students have had an up close, personal experience with the tactics of the Marxist, communist, socialist left. It will probably be one of the more memorable parts of their education. Hopefully, there will be a few less democrats in their graduation class!

This isn´t a case of voter fraud it´s a case of voter enhancement by a well meaning, well intentioned, caring liberal professor.

Ms. Sweet is African-American which makes this a clear cut case of racism and she will win a $5 million award in her wrongful termination suit against Brevard.

Apparently, she´s an atrocious professor even in her field of mathematics, based on her student evaluations. An Affirmative Action ´success story´ who probably needs to be fired for more than just electioneering:

The President of the college should have the authority to fire a faculty member, and then the trustees could serve as an appeals body. (When I was a professor, the students did not know my political leanings, with the exception of Bill Clinton. I taught Human Resource Management, and his sins, from Paula Jones forward, were related to our subject matter. So we had lots of discussions about the latest offense.)

#8, those were the first things I looked at, too. Some of them seem to love her. I don´t think RMP is particularly reliable. Dr. Benjamin Carson got some lousy ratings from Rate My Professor, and I´m sure he´s very good. A lot of kids go there to whine if they don´t get As.
Beyond that, this woman should be fired. This was a blatant attempt to intimidate, coerce, extort, and commit voter fraud. She´ll scream racism and denial of First Amendment rights--which she obviously denies to others.
Sadly, if the school doesn´t back down, and she is fired, she´ll have no trouble getting another professorship somewhere. A black woman math professor, no matter how incompetent, can write her own ticket.

If AA votes for Obama three times and BB votes for Obama 2 times, what are the odds that one of them will get arrested on vote fraud charges?

As has been noted here, she´ll probably win a big ol´ lawsuit once she gets canned for some civil rights "violation."
But chances are, there are loads of colleges willing to hire her on. In fact, Harvard needs a replacement for a former Native American lady minority who took a new job in DC.

I´d think math would be a BIG fief for affirmative action. Blacks, after suffering through substandard union-led schools, are routinely shuffled into useless ´Black Studies,´ sociology, sports and community organizing majors. Very few blacks get through math at all unless they are from another country. Condquently, math departments are all white, Indian and Chinese males. The affirmative action departments get desperate and will hire any idiot, so long as they have the right skin color to tick off their color box. The fact that this woman was at a community college instead of, say, UCLA, suggests she wasn´t great even by those low standards, but she did get in. It´s obvious it wasn´t on merit.

Quite true, #18, but now that she´s officially a "victim" of racism, classicism, sexism, and probably other things I can´t think of offhand, her desirability index will rise. She won´t get a ob offer from Harvard or Stanford or MIT or Rice, but somebody will decide that her multicultural perspective on math is more valuable to the students than quadratic equations.

Whew -- right on top of this outrage, aren´t they?
[Lessee... she apparently looks like a possible sister of Mo? Gomer, any comment?]
[And another thing! From another article -- "....Again, thank you for your concern. The college is taking appropriate actions. We do not want any student to feel coerced. (s) Linda Miedema, PhD, MSA, BSN Vice President Academic Affairs Chief Learning Officer BCC Administrative Building, Viera"
Hoo, buddy. Can´t let anyone "feel" coerced! Worse than actually coercing, it seems. And a "Chief Learning Officer," who evidently a is a nurse?]
[Glutton for punishment? Here -- "A request for comment has been sent to Ms. Sweet and Ms. Darla Ferguson, Chief Equity & Diversity Officer for Brevard Community College." Oy!]
#3: But isn´t the best estimate that only 20% of ´em work?
#13: Good point. Too bad for Sweetsie-Pie.
#14, #18: Hey, it´s a Community College. She could be a specialist in Counting and Subtraction, maybe?

She´s a math teacher, not a professor. I doubt she goes higher than trigonometry. She wouldn´t know a good calculus joke if it bit her in the tush.
Isn´t it illegal for public employees to engage in political activities on the job. Shouldn´t she be up on criminal charges?

The White House is circling the wagons as one of the most feverish periods of President Obama’s tenure enters its second week. Obama and his aides have taken a more aggressive stance in recent days after fumbling their initial response to headline-grabbing scandals at different government agencies. The administration’s strategy is centered on a simple defense: “Our basic thrust is that nobody, here, did anything wrong,” an Obama administration official told The Hill. “That’s why none of this is going to stick.” Even though there is no evidence yet of wrongdoing in the White House,

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg used a commencement speech to push his gun-control agenda, telling graduates of Kenyon College in Ohio that gun control is “something you really should think about.” Bloomberg, who co-chairs Mayors Against Illegal Guns, spent at least $14 million in support of legislation that would have required universal background checks for all gun-buyers. Although the bill died in the Senate on April 17, Bloomberg said the battle isn´t over. “I believe we will win, sooner or later, because I believe that all of you, your generation more than any other at least

Now that Hillary Clinton no longer has a nonpartisan badass day job, the universe is reverting back to its natural state in which Clinton is a controversial figure with a complicated past and more than a few enemies as well as the symbol of some people´s anxieties about women in power. The excuses to engage in the old Hillary Clinton narratives today come in the form of a biopic titled Rodham, which shows the former secretary of state´s early relationship with Bill Clinton in a not totally flattering light, and a report on her 2008 campaign aides by

Swamped in controversies, President Obama and his slow-footed team are essentially telling the American public, “We’re not crooked. We’re just incompetent.” The IRS targeting conservatives, the Justice Department snooping at The Associated Press, the State Department injecting politics into Benghazi, the military covering up sexual assaults, and the Department of Veterans Affairs leaving heroes in health care limbo – each of these so-called scandals share two traits. First, there is some element of “spin," the cynical art of telling just enough of the truth to avoid political embarrassment. Obfuscation and demagogy, the dirty tools of political quackery that

You’ve got to dig deep and work like crazy, and that’s when you’ll find out what you’re really made of during those hard times, but you can only do that

Shortly before the second-term inauguration of Barack Obama this January, I wrote the following of my worries over the Obama way of doing business: But the untruths and hypocrisy hover in the partisan atmosphere and incrementally and insidiously undermine each new assertion that we hear from the president — some of them perhaps necessary and logical. Indeed, the more emphatically he adds “make no mistake about it,” “let me be perfectly clear,” “I’m not kidding,” or the ubiquitous “me,” “my,” and “I” to each new assertion, the more a growing number of people will come to know

The idea that Nancy Pelosi would again become Speaker after the 2014 elections was always something of a Democrat fantasy. It may be a good story to get a lefty to sleep at night, but it wasn´t likely to happen. In the last 100 years, only once has a President´s party picked up seats in the sixth year of a term. Redistricting in 2011 has put many of the seats the Democrats need out of reach. Whatever confluence of events Democrats envisioned would allow them to retake the House have been swept aside by the IRS scandal.

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.
