Reply #76: I'm glad your daughters teacher was fired and I hope that the powers

who did the right thing keep it up. Involving the kids in this is so ridiculous.

During grade school and high school I only remember two times when real world politics was allowed in the classroom. The first time was when Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. My second grade teacher turned on the radio and we listened. She wept.

The second time was in the summer of 1973 during the Watergate hearings. I was taking a social studies class and the teacher worked this event into the course material. It was excellent.

I cannot believe a teacher would get up in front of a classroom and spout such bullshit. Let them teach in the bullshit private schools.
