43. After hundreds of parent conferences, my guess is that
the teachers will not want to talk about politics with you.

They have already decided you are a whacko, and hopefully not, but maybe your kid too. They aren't going to want to argue about that with you. They probably don't want to argue about anything with you. You probably scare them if anything.

In my opinion, your biggest worry is that your kid gets a reputation among the teachers. "Watch out for Jimmy. His dad's some kind of communist radical or something. Has the kid brainwashed, so be careful around him."

My guess is taht at this meeting, they will ask for your help in curbing "inappropriate or disruptive" talk in class. The math teacher will say that she has enough trouble trying to teach basic algebra to 24 kids without debating the war in Iraq.

The only other thing I would anticipate is they may hit you with excused versus unexcused absences. They may even have a policy that unexcused abcenses have to be made up during recess or something.
