    JB - this you?

    The North Carolina high school student who was berated by his teacher after he spoke critically of President Obama told Fox News on Monday that he wanted to "laugh" when he heard the teacher suggest he could be arrested for criticizing a sitting president.

    "Honestly, at the time I wanted to laugh at her, because I've been taught all my life that nobody can take your opinion," Hunter Rogers said. He said he knew that it takes an actual threat against the president, not just criticism, to be arrested.

    Hunter Rogers and his mother Gina spoke to Fox News about the incident and the recording of the argument that later went viral on YouTube.

    "(The teacher) doesn't want to hear anything but what she believes, and ... if you disagree, you get berated and put down," Rogers said. "I just decided to finally get some proof of it."

    He should have laughed. She got schooled by her student.

    LOL...it could be if I was 20 years younger. My son has had a couple of philosophical differences with some high school teachers this past year. I keep telling him he needs to learn how to get along with all types of people, no matter how misguided they are. I also told him to stick up for what he believes, but to do it in a respectful manner.
