Teacher's comments to soldier's kid about McCain, war stir anger


A Cumberland County school teacher is defending her comments to a fifth-grade pupil who expressed support for John McCain in her class last spring. The exchange at Mary McArthur Elementary School was captured by a Swedish television documentary crew, and the video is making the rounds on the Internet including YouTube.
