We won this one!
Last September, a Math professor at Brevard Community College in Florida named Sharon Sweet harassed and intimidated her students by asking them to state their political party affiliation and handing out bookmark pledges to vote for President Lucifer (below).
The incident was first reported by Dr. Richard Swier of Watchdogwire.com, Then the story went viral, disseminated by bloggers.
Now comes news that this sorry excuse of a professor has been fired!
Oliver Darcy reports for Campus Reform, April 17, 2013, that Brevard Community College (BCC) has fired Professor Sharon Sweet after a school investigation concluded she forced students to sign a pledge to vote for President Obama in the run-up to the 2012 election.
BCC spokesman John Glisch, said the Board of Trustees voted Wednesday morning to terminate mathematics professor Sharon Sweet with a 3-1 vote, with one member absent.
“The termination took effect immediately, ending pay and benefits for Sweet who had been suspended with pay under provisions of the United Faculty of Florida collective bargaining agreement with the college, pending the board’s decision,” the school added in a press release.
After news last year of Sweet’s actions, BCC president recommended to the Board of Trustees that professor Sweet should be fired, following an investigation that found her guilty of “harassment, incompetence, misconduct, and unprofessional behavior.”
Sweet was a tenured professor who had taught at the college five years. She earned $40,000 annually.

When DCG and I posted about this last September, I had tried very hard to find a picture of Sharon Sweet but had no success. I just did a search again, and finally found a video of the firing on the website of FloridaToday.com, from which I took this screenshot of Sweet:
Tyrannical former Brevard Community College professor Sharon Sweet
My apologies for publishing an incorrect pic of Sweet as a black woman in the first version of this post. I’d found the pic on the blog AngryWhiteDude. This is the message I left for AWD:
Shame on you for posting the wrong pic of Sharon Sweet as a black woman. Sweet is not black, but a fat white woman.

It’s people like you who give conservatives our undeserved reputation of being racists.
