Too many non-issues, too many right wing sites trying to direct attention away from actual problems...

So you are telling me it is not a huge problem to have a teacher forcing politicial beliefs in a classroom? C,mon now Nick...

I could go with the obvious..that if he was pro-bush, Ford would already be saying that it was a "BCE school" but because he is anti-bush it is some sort of non-issue? How about NO politics in the classroom period? Is that so much to ask for?

And yes as a parent, it is a real issue.

And what about the other side of the story....

Should parents be teaching their kids to be good little NAZI BROWNSHIRT HITLER YOUTH and turn their teachers into the local Reich Ministry of Truth (right wing radio station).

What that little fascist pig in training did was straight out of Nazi Germany or Stalinist Russia. And it cannot be tolerated in this country.

What the fuck did I just say? Political opinion has no function in our classrooms and does not belong there.

Radio is a public forum, school is not.

History is supposed to be taught in schools, isn't it?

So if you make comparisons between say, 9-11 and the Reichstag Fire.

Or Diebold and Stalin's control of Soviet elections...

Or the fact that Mussolini defined fascism as corporatism....

Then aren't those things a valid discusson of history? Or more specifically, history repeating itself?

As it often does. Especially for those who refuse to learn from it.

I would argue that you CAN NOT seperate politics from history. Hitler had political motives. As did Stalin. As did the slave owning bastards who started the Civil War. Or the other slave owning bastards that started the Revolution, though at least they had a slightly better political motive than slavery itself.

Tax evasion, wasn't it?

I don't think taping a teacher is considered Nazism, FORD. Or would you call EVERY college student that does that a Nazi as well?

He turned him in, and for good reason. Actually, I'm sure his parents turned him in after they heard his crazy rant, and believe me, he sounds like he's a few slices short of a loaf.

Besides, why is this guy ranting about this in a GEOGRAPHY class? It's not a government class, or even a social studies class.

Why isn't he teaching his kids the capitals of all 50 states instead? Or where his favorite countries (Germany, Russia, and France) are located on a world map?

I'm asking why this is even an issue? There are protocols for removing him if he's a total nutbag...

Why is this only coming to light now? You mean parents, administrators, and the school board was never aware of this before?

I mean, IRAQ's on the brink of civil war, but let's focus on an issue which effects no one here, and probably didn't even happen, at least not the way present on that site...

Maybe he was just playing devil's advocate for fuck's sake?

First of all, what's the kid doing in class with a fucking cell phone? He broke the rules also, but I guess it's okay for kids to bring cam corders, cell phones, i-Pods, lap tops, bugs, radios, TVs etc. to school...

And I'd love to see the actual transcript of what was said...

Something tells me, this is near complete bullshit....

[Warham]

I've heard it. The teacher did indeed compare Bush to Hitler.

It's exactly the way it's been presented. And here I thought that crazy loons only compared the two on the internet.

[Warham]

Here's a local TV station, with AUDIO of his remarks in class.

He's also on paid leave, and probably will have a letter placed into his file...

So, he's being punished for being a bit of an asshat...

[Big Train]

So he can come back and be even more of an asshat. Great.

If it was a conservative teacher making comments about the almighty Billary Clinton when he was in office, the clueless liberal ass-clowns would be calling for this guy's head on a platter.
