Showing Original Post only (View all)Cheryl Describes Meeting Mitt Romney [View all]
Published on Sep 22, 2012
Cheryl, a teacher from Colorado, was asked to participate in a roundtable with Mitt Romney. In this video she shares her impression after talking with him and how her views on education are different than Mitt Romney's.
As Cheryl shares:
"He said, "...I understand there's a teacher here today, which one of you is the teacher?" So I raised my hand thinking that's a good thing; he's interested in education. But it wasn't a good thing."

Sounds like he singled her out for abuse. That's just shitty, no matter who you are.
