Students outside Charles Carroll High School in Philadelphia showed their support for a teacher who is accused of humiliating a student who wore a Romney-Ryan shirt to school.

Fox 29 first introduced you to Samantha Pawlucy Wednesday. Pawlucy says her teacher teased her for wearing a Romney-Ryan shirt to class. The student said the teacher's teasing led to the teasing of other students.

She told Fox 29 on Thursday she was afraid to return to school.

District officials say they have removed the teacher from Pawlucy's class for the time being.

But on Friday, students rallied in support of the teacher, Lynette Gaymon.

Students claim she would never intentionally humiliate a student.
