The mother of a Laurel County high school student has filed a complaint against a teacher who wrote "You can't be a Democrat & go to heaven" on her classroom whiteboard.

 

The teacher, Kendra Baker, wrote the statement denigrating Democrats in her room at South Laurel High School the week after the Nov. 6 election, said Mary Gilbert.

 

Gilbert's daughter, Chelsea, 17, was in Baker's psychology class.

 

Gilbert said the problem started before Baker wrote the statement on her board. The day after the election, there was discussion in Baker's psychology class about the presidential vote.

 

President Barack Obama defeated Republican challenger Mitt Romney, but in Laurel County, where registered Republicans outnumber Democrats 3 to 1, Romney trounced Obama by a vote of 18,151 to 3,905.

 

During the classroom discussion, Baker made remarks in class against same-sex marriage, Gilbert said.

 

Chelsea Gilbert, an admirer of Obama, told Baker she was offending people, Mary Gilbert said.
