BIG MOUTH GOT HIM IN TROUBLE!!
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. -
As President Barack Obama was speaking at Coral Reef Senior High School last Friday, social studies teacher Randall Scott said he was left sitting alone in his classroom.
Scott said school administrators told him last week that he was "banned" from hearing the president's speech.
He claims the reason is because of his politics. He's an outspoken conservative who makes no effort to hide his views on social media and in the classroom.
The teacher regularly uses his Instagram and Twitter accounts to voice his opposition to the Obama administration. Scott said he fosters open political discussion in his advanced-placement American history classes.
"I believe if I share my views with students and they share their views with me then it's a learning process for both of us," Scott said.
But in the past week, two students have asked to leave Scott's class as a result of things he's said.
Prior to Obama's visit, Scott ignored a school administration request to tone down his social media postings.
