Student Berated by Teacher for Reading Fox News

Said the teacher: "You're reading the wrong news!"

The folks in one northern Michigan community can rest easy because it’s clear their high school computer teacher is on the ball. Last week in the computer lab, a student who had completed his video production assignment killed time by surfing the Internet on a school computer. But the teacher (unnamed in news stories), caught a glimpse of the screen and put a stop to the student’s consumption of vile and vulgar Internet content.

Just what despicable web site was the young man viewing? Here’s fair warning before you read on… consider sending the children out of the room or at least shielding your eyes.

He was reading Foxnews.com.

According to reports, when the student, a senior, was caught scanning headlines on Foxnews.com his video production teacher publicly berated and belittled him for reading the “wrong” news.

A young man who identified himself only as Mitchell, an 18-year-old senior at Traverse City West Senior High School, called in to Rush Limbaugh's radio show Thursday and said he was yelled at in front of his classmates for reading the "wrong" news.

The teacher of his video production class saw what he was looking at and "proceeded to give me a 10-minute lecture on why I can't read FOX News ... and that I can only listen to BBC and other news venues," the student said.

It's a damn good thing Mitchell wasn't reading The Big Feed. Can you imagine if he had been a McCain supporter?
