In reply to the discussion: Fact Checked My Teacher [View all]BlueGirlRedState
(417 posts)88. My 5th grader has a teacher like this
Good for you, Aaron!!!!
At the Open House in September, the teacher said she posts a political cartoon every day and they discuss current events.
"I'll be making little Republicans out of all of your children!"
My daughter comes home with "Miss Wilson said...." every day and it usually involves Obama increased the debt, Obama lied, etc. etc.
She's really stuck who to believe because she's always been taught to respect teachers yet she hears us discussing politics all the time, so she usually just gets confused and doesn't want to hear the details.
I don't want her in the position of being ridiculed by the teacher, and most likely she's the only child from a Democratic family.

Well, that explains a lot. I guess that's why Republicans promote the voucher system: Propagandizing
