Complaint filed against Kentucky teacher who wrote 'You can't be a Democrat & go to heaven'
Bill Estep | Lexington Herald-Leader


The mother of a Laurel County high school student has filed a complaint against a teacher who wrote "You can't be a Democrat & go to heaven" on her classroom whiteboard.

The teacher, Kendra Baker, wrote the statement denigrating Democrats in her room at South Laurel High School the week after the Nov. 6 election, said Mary Gilbert.

Gilbert said the problem started before Baker wrote the statement on her board. The day after the election, there was discussion in Baker's psychology class about the presidential vote.

President Barack Obama defeated Republican challenger Mitt Romney, but in Laurel County, where registered Republicans outnumber Democrats 3 to 1, Romney trounced Obama by a vote of 18,151 to 3,905.

During the classroom discussion, Baker made remarks in class against same-sex marriage, Gilbert said.

Chelsea Gilbert, an admirer of Obama, told Baker she was offending people, Mary Gilbert said.

There are gay students in the class, Gilbert said.

Gilbert said Baker responded by telling Chelsea she would someday have to take her parents to the emergency room and watch them die because of the president's health care reform law, commonly called Obamacare.

1. That "teacher" is far too, well, employed. (nt)

2. I wish that I believed there was a heaven

and I wish that I would be at the pearly gates when Ms. Baker shows up.

You don't have to like the opposition party or their candidates, but you should not be able to push it on students in school. Bullying is bullying.

3. in a sense, she's right, of course....

No democrats will ever go to heaven. None.

Of course, no one else will, either, because it's all make believe BS that superstitious halfwits believe in. So she's outed herself as a superstitious halfwit, and called into question her qualification to teach.
