Where (city, state) have you personally experienced this happening

a
school? I'm not doubting you. I'm just adding to the list of places
where
my
son should avoid raising a family.

So, where?

Lee County Florida for one but I am sure the save the manatee club
and
the sierra club has influenced your school board too. It is just
stupid things like recycling as a religion and PETA causes that seem
to creep into the curriculum that really frost my ass. Most recently
it was just simple lies about where water flows in the estuary,
driven
by a SMC tract that was handed out to teachers

Lee County Florida - did you, your kids or grandkids attend those
schools?
That's what I meant by "personally experienced". Is that what you
mean,
too?- Hide quoted text -

My childs school system is pretty fair about things but there are
always exceptions. Students always have had good debate in the last
few years especially since one of my childs peers father is a local
elected political figure. Most of the kids are pretty informed and
teachers stay out and act more as moderators. However this year they
have one teacher who openly bashes Bush as stupid, Republicans as
stupid and selfish, et'al', and allows pretty vigorous christian
bashing, including and not limited to Mormons, given the currant
political situation. My kid who is somewhat conservative and my kids
friend who is Mormon are afraid to even speak in this class, knowing
the teacher herself will probably be the first to lash out at them
with hate and insults. This particular group of kids has been together
and openly debated these issues in a civil fashion for years with each
other, they all know where they all stand. This year however the
christians and conservatives in this class don't get involved, just
play the game, get the grade, and get out.... Is that personal enough?

How old is your kid?- Hide quoted text -

That sort of late for a kid to NOT be able to demand accountability from
authority figures who also happen to be service providers. Not surprising,
though, considering that it's YOUR kid.

Maybe you should tell your kid that the teacher is your employee, and the
kids are **THE CUSTOMERS**.- Hide quoted text -

I knew you were gonna' put it on me, that's why I usually don't bother
addressing you, and will not bother again....

You've said that before. You'll be back. Kids need to know when and how to
question authority, because in most instances, the "authority" is chosen and
paid by the person being governed, taught or whatever. Where do YOU think
they're supposed to learn that from? A cereal box?


I sure hope you had your mirror time today. You know, when you tell
yourself just how f**king perfect you are.
