An associate professor at Florida’s Brevard Community College has been fired after school officials say she handed out pledge cards to students urging them to vote for President Barack Obama.


The school’s board of trustees terminated Sharon Sweet on Wednesday after a three-month investigation, but she plans on fighting the decision, FloridaToday.com reports.




Sweet, a registered Democrat, says she was participating in non-partisan voter registration on campus and didn’t see the parts of the pledge cards with Obama’s image.
Really?

Here's the bookmark that was physically attached to the pledge card she was handing out...

Now... who is that on the left? Romney?

The school found out about it a person whose nephew attends the school brought home a bookmark pledging to vote for Obama that was passed out in class along with the pledge card. On the tear-away Gottavote.org pledge card, which is provided by the Obama campaign, students are required to “state their party affiliation.”

It's a community college, paid for by taxpayers. It should be non-partisan.

How would it look it sanitation trucks, police cars, and fire trucks drove around with "Vote Romney" signs on them?

This non-partisanship should also apply to private universities that accept public funding.

rev. Not surprised to learn. You really are what I thought all along. I feel happy for me, and sorry for you.

Guess that hypocrisy, and tolerance stuff really does confuse you.

The college determined that Sweet violated a code of conduct that prohibits employees from seeking support for political candidates, FloridaToday.com reports.
