Found out my daughter's 5th grade teacher played the Iowa fight song in class

So my daughter has a typical tavernhawk for a teacher. She is a UNI grad, but professed die hard Hawk. Found out yesterday after the game that on Friday when the kids were wearing their team's colors, she told the kids with ISU stuff on that they would be "sad" on Monday because Iowa was going to win. She then followed that up by playing the Iowa fight song in class.
My initial reaction was to do something (complain to the principal) and get her reprimanded for segregating a group of students like that, but I like her as a teacher so far and good teachers are hard to come by these days. I'm also sure she didn't mean any harm and was just displaying her natural tavernhawk behavior.
What I've decided to do is to have my daughter approach her tomorrow at the beginning of the day and say in an innocent voice "At least you'll probably be happy next weekend when UNI beats Iowa".

What say you CF? Should I have her hand slapped or should I just have my daughter tease her with the UNI statement? Maybe you have a better suggestion?

This is 5th grade in Waukee schools.

Have your daughter take a box of kleenex to her teacher. Tell her to say, since I'm not sad from this weekend's game, I thought you should have these. I'd rather her take some tampons to her instead and tell her not to bleed all over, but that's probably going to far, so we'll keep it civil with the kleenex! ;-)

Each of my daughters had very excellent 5th and 6th grade teachers who were also diehard hawks.

So my girls took the high road and never backed down. They took the lead, not the parents. Let your children decide how to respond (with guidance of course).

Each year my girls decorated the teachers classrooms with ISU colors for April 1st.

To top it off for the final year of our last child in elementary school, my daugther talked another teacher inot opening the school on a Sunday morning.

The end result, 300 Cyclone posters in one classroom for Monday morning.

Never retreat, never surrender.
