Political Proselytizing In Our Schools




Proselytizing is the act of attempting to convert people to another opinion.  While commonly thought to apply only to the subject of religious belief, the fact is that it equally applies to entrenched liberal educators that use their classrooms to force your kids what to think.  It’s time to stop it.  If the liberals of this nation can legislate God out of the classroom, it’s high time to legislate political views, preferences and proselytizing out of the classroom as well.
The most recently documented event recently occurred in Florida where college math professor Sharon Sweet, a tenured professor at Brevard Community College, has been suspended for allegedly forcing students to sign a pledge to vote for President Obama. Not surprisingly, this might violate Florida election laws:
Section 104.31, of Title IX in chapter 104, states that “no officer or employee of the state... shall... use his or her official authority or influence for the purpose of interfering with an election or nomination of officer or influencing another person’s vote or affecting the result thereof.”
in addition to violating the Brevard Community College policy on harassment.

Linda Miedema, Vice President Academic Affairs and Chief Learning Officer, in a written response to an email to the college expressing concern about the incident responded by stating that “ … an investigation was initiated. Any inappropriate activities will be curtailed and the faculty will be dealt with according to college policy.”  In addition she stated “The college is taking appropriate actions. We do not want any student to feel coerced.”




Her response should have been amplified with the following: “Such conduct on the part of our teaching staff will not be tolerated under any circumstances.”  Let’s hope the investigation is quick, thorough and reaches the appropriate conclusion. 

Take a moment and consider the cost of college these days. For that we get professors who are openly liberal shills.  Is it any surprise that young voters today are vehemently liberal and contemptuous of our Constitution, our nation’s history and our traditions?
Think this is an isolated incident?  Think again.  View and hear
