A Fayetteville teacher whose classroom comments about John McCain drew the ire of viewers who saw the remarks on YouTube says she has received a disciplinary letter.

The Fayetteville Observer reports that Diatha Harris also said an internal investigation cleared her of violating state law or Cumberland County Board of Education policy.

A Scandinavian documentary crew filmed Harris last May leading a classroom discussion of the 2008 presidential election.

In the video, Harris tries to generate a class conversation about the presidential election by asking students whom they support. She says supporting either candidate is fine. When one student says Obama advocates ending the Iraq war, Harris asks students what they know about the conflict, then calls it "a senseless war."

Another girl says she backs McCain because that's who her parents favor. Harris points out that the girl's father is in the military, and cautions, "the person that you're picking for president said that our troops could stay in Iraq for another hundred years if they need to. So that means that our daddy could stay in the military for another hundred years."

The camera returns to the girl's face to catch her reaction. She seems to tense her mouth, but doesn't otherwise respond.
