It usually comes down to those two choices - they are lying or they don't know what they are talking about.

Hunter Rogers - the kid in that viral video showing his teacher berating him for having the wrong political opinion - comments about his teacher:

“I didn’t think that it was going to be like this, but honestly I’m excited,” he said. “I want people to see this, let this be an example.”…

“I videoed this because there are millions of kids going home every day telling their parents there is a teacher doing this, and a lot of parents think because teachers are role models they can’t be doing anything that bad,” Rogers said…

Hunter Rogers said he felt like Dixon-Neely was “lying to my face” when she said that people have been arrested for speaking ill of the president.

“Either she was lying to me or she didn’t know any better,” he said. “But I know way better, I know that nobody can take away your freedom of speech unless you threaten the president.”

The kid's attitude is refreshing, and the mother's attitude is understandable.
