should be fired? Well, duh...but I fear it´s like the 1000 lawyrs lying at the bottom of the sea--just a start... (I can say that, I am one...)

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!

I think that everyone who voted for this lame-brain should be fired!!!1

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

College Professor Firings - - Women & Minorities Hardest Hit

Google Sharon Sweet then look at the photo on the far left in the line of photos of people named Sharon Sweet. Tells you about all you need to know.

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:

Yes, fire seems like the solution. Take what you need from the shed.

Here´s her email:

sweets@brevardcc.edu

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.

Too bad the SOTU address is over. She could have been one of moochelle´s honored guests.

I wouldn´t think math would be much of a fielf for affirmative action...

I was just thinking ... how does one work politics into a math class? I think I´ve come up with it.

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?

Blatently illegal activity should be hammered to the fullest extent of the law...if it were the other way around the Dumbs and Looney Left would be screaming bloody murder...the Libs mantra, do as I say not as I do!

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.

The college´s Diversity Committee won´t allow a black professor to be fired.

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?

I wonder if she gets extra EEOC points for being ugly......

#12 -- I read some of those student appraisals, too. Many more didn´t like her than did, and I wonder (based on her conduct) about the demographic breakdown of those likes/dislikes.

Just sayin´ ...

I hope they kick her asymptotes out of there.

I Googled it so you don´t have to. Yes, your suspicions are correct.

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?

No! Where else would she find legitimate work?
