Lafayette, LA: Teacher’s remarks about Obama rile parents

LAFAYETTE — A parent of a fourth-grader at Delcambre Elementary School said she and other parents are demanding the termination of a teacher who allegedly, in remarks to her students the day after the presidential election, made derogatory comments about President Obama’s re-election.

Lindsay Shello said she lodged a complaint against the teacher after her son came home from school on Nov. 7 and told her the teacher said “the United States would be the new China since Obama won as president.”

Shello said her son also said the teacher, who was wearing an all-black wardrobe that day, told the students “She was going to a funeral because it was the death of the United States since Obama won the election.”
