Diantha Harris Is Youtube Video Barack Obama Support Teacher Who Belittled John McCain Support Girl! Diantha Harris, a fifth grade schoolteacher of Cumberland County, North Carolina, is a Barack Obama supporter, but apparently, not all her pupils were. When taping a documentary for Barack Obam supporters by a Finnish TV Station, the mid-aged woman asked her students on the class who they supported to be next President of United States. When a girl said she supported John McCain, Diantha Harris questioned and belittled her choice of candidate in front of her school mates. The video clip showing Diantha Harris, at one point, asked the girl “Oh, Jesus, John McCain?! ….And by the way, Kathy, the person that you’re picking for president said that our troops could stay in Iraq for another hundred years if they need to! So that means that your daddy could stay in the military for another hundred years?” before her classmates was uploaded onto the Youtube by Tundra Tabloid and attracted a lot to condemn Diantha Harris’ unprofessionality unprofessionalism to talk politics with schoolchildrens. When contacted by The Citizen-times, Harris said the footage of her lesson was heavily edited and she was not being critical of the student.

If this was a white teacher scolding a student for supporting Obama, it would be in the main stream media as racism. Larry King would have Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson discussing the issue and it’s racist remarks. This is implorable and all of us American’s should be allowed to support whomever we choose. Shame on a teacher, I mean bully that intimidates students instead of teaching them and creating an environment for free thinking.
