Would you stand up for this guy if he was pro bush?
I agree with every word the geography teach said, but it was still inappropriate and unethical to lecture students during school hours - especially in a situation where they were not there voluntarily.

Human geography "deals with people and their environment - from cities to transportation to religion to food." http://geography.about.com/cs/culturalgeography/

The teaching of that class could and should be taught without involving detailed politics of the United States president or of a particular political party. It should also be taught without making judgments on any particular religion.

Sorry, but I believe in being honest with myself. To say that it's okay to denigrate bush or repubs in a classroom yet believe it's wrong to do the same to progressives would be hypocrisy to me.
