The teacher should not be fired, however the question was inappropriate, especially for a 5-6th grader.
I'm all for teaching politics in school, especially if its a class related to it. However it needs to be done in such a was that isn't blatantly biased. Same goes for religion.
Once opinions start to pop up its no longer teaching.

Still missing the point

So just because teachers bring up politics in an unrelated class we shouldn't care because stuff happens

When you say that, I picture a teacher who accidentally lets their opinion slip out at an inappropriate time. However what happened here appears to have been a deliberate and sightly pathetic act of forcing a political opinion needlessly into an assignment, and there appears to be no excuse for it. It goes against what teaching kids stands for.

You'll have to forgive me if I roll my eyes at Conservatives pretending they are victims because a liberal teacher was biased against Annoying Orange--since I go to a highschool with huge banners in the hallways that say 'TRUST IN GOD' and have a minute long moment of prayer each morning. If my skin is thick enough to roll my eyes at those stupid opinions I think I can hold these melodramatic losers to the same standards.
