Brevard Community College President: Fire Professor Who Forced Students to Vote for Obama

The Daily Caller reports that the president of Brevard Community College is recommending that the school's board of trustees fireSharon Sweet, a tenured associate professor of mathematics, forelectioneering, harassment, and incompetence, after she pressured her students to sign oaths pledging their electoral support to President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party.

Professor Sweet strongly encouraged or mandated that students from several classes sign a pledge card that stated, I pledge to vote for President Obama and Democrats up and down the ticket," the Caller quotes from a report presented to the board. "She also misrepresented her intentions to multiple students, indicating at various times that she was conducting voter registration for the college, that the pledge cards were nonpartisan voter registration forms, and that the pledge was a statistical analysis.
