Video stirs debate on teacher's actions in North class

By Sarah Campbell



SPENCER — After reviewing a video in which a North Rowan High School teacher tells a student he can be arrested for speaking ill of President Barack Obama, the Rowan-Salisbury School System said it can be a learning experience.

Meanwhile, an expert on politics at Catawba College says the social studies teacher just doesn’t have her facts straight when she insists speaking your mind about a president can get you charged with a criminal offense.

Did she get suspended?

In fact she has been suspended.

Tonya Dixon-Neely, a North Rowan High School teacher, learned a little lesson about freedom of speech – not to mention the power of internet media – this week when she was caught on a phone camera telling a student in her classroom that he could be arrested for speaking ill of President Obama.

Not really a benefit to those that get to pay for her paid suspension. I do wounder if it was recorded on an Obama phone?
If so, maybe there is some hope for change. lol

Suspended with pay? Why can I never score like that!
