Del. Panel Probes Teacher's Obama Remark

DOVER, Del. (AP) -- A Delaware state commission is investigating allegations that a fifth-grade teacher told her class she wouldn't vote for Barack Obama because he is "scary" and a Muslim.

The mother of a 10-year-old student complained, saying her daughter's teacher made the comments during a mock primary on Super Tuesday last month at a southeastern Delaware elementary school, about 40 miles south of Dover. The student is a Muslim.

The Democratic presidential candidate is a Christian, but he's had to fight against false Internet rumors suggesting he's really a Muslim intent on destroying the United States.

The Indian River School District says it has resolved the issue after meeting with the mother and the teacher who allegedly made the comments.
