This video has gone viral the last few days, up to the point where it was discussed on Fox News. Shows a fifth-grader being belittled by a teacher for daring to hope that McCain wins the election.

I do hope this sorry excuse for an educator is fired on the spot. Having kids discuss political issues is OK, belittling them for daring to pick the unpopular candidate is not. The teacher in question obviously needs a new career in picking litter...
Good thing it was shown on Finnish TV as well. Had it been made for broadcast here, it would've probably ended up being edited to portray her more favorably...

Not to mention that she told the girl her dad would be in Iraq for a hundred years. And used the name of God in vain. Might as well just say f**k in the classroom.
That whole thing is hard to watch, it's stomach-churning.
