These are my co-workers. Very nice folks, in most other regards. But stark, raving lunatics, nevertheless. I urge all freepers to homeschool if possible.

[theDentist]

Did you respond to them, or just let them go unchallenged?

[Monterrosa-24]

So what geographic area are we talking about here?

[aynrandfreak]

I've noticed lefties on talk radio speaking a lot more about putting Saddam back in power in the last few days. It must be a new talking point for them.

[Red Badger]

Just laff in their faces and walk away. Don't respond to fools..................

[Elpasser]

Next time, speak up and make yourself heard. These people usually have no facts whatsoever to back up their cliches.

[prion]

Well, I admire your courage, but I wouldn't have confronted them. I think they're terribly wrong to discuss politics in the workplace to begin with, and you've likely done nothing but bought yourself a daily helping of cold shoulder.

Put in that position, I usually say something like, "I'm a righty" or "should we really be talking about that here?"

[SittinYonder]

I sat quietly until someone asked me a direct question and I told them that I think we did the right thing

Somebody's about to lose a teaching job!

[YOUGOTIT]

Did you tell them that they are anti-American leftw-ing fascist Nazi idiots who should leave this great nation and go live with their terrorist friends?

[taxcontrol]

I put mine in a Christian school. Tuition hurts the budget something awful... but I'd rather raise morally right kids that subject them to the trash in public school.

Also, their math scores jumped 35 percentage points the first year (from a low F to a high D) and this year, my youngest is making straight As, my middle child is a solid C+ all around, and my oldest is now getting a C in Math with everything else A's and B's. Nationally the schools is testing 1 year, 7 months ahead of their grade levels so I'm am just as happy as can be.

[wouldntbprudent]

No offense to you, perfect lady, but this is one of the reasons why I homeschool.

People with these reasoning, analytical and fact-gathering skills are qualified to teach my kids how . . .????

[oceanview]

employees of the country's public school systems are some of the most hard core moonbat Dems we have. I am not surprised at anything you posted here.

[Gaffer]

Do you live in a blue state?

[Hetty_Fauxvert]

Oh yeah, release Saddam and put him back in power. What a great idea ....

Sigh.

I'm in northern California and we have the same bunch of mindless chattering loons here. I have given up on having a rational conversation around here with anyone but my husband.

[rhombus]

Well the good thing is that kids usually don't listen to teachers much either. ;-)

[Petronski]

Very nice folks, in most other regards.

I don't think there's very much I'd call nice about such abject (willful) ignorance.

[McGavin999]

Next time they try to include you in one of their diatribes just smile at them and say "My mother always taught be that is was crude and tacky to discuss politics in public."

[Red Badger]

Proverbs 1:7
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Proverbs 1:22
How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

Proverbs 1:32
For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

Proverbs 3:35
The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.

Proverbs 12:23
A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools
proclaimeth foolishness.

[sausageseller]

Keep up the good fight. Don't let them get you down!

[L,TOWM]

My kids will NEVER set foot in a public school short of College.

Thank you for my daily decision validation.

[vetvetdoug]

You are listening to school teachers. I know, they are your colleagues. Most school teachers are as dumb as a box of rocks. They are there because the curriculum in college for elementary teachers is as simple as the one for Psychology. They are all Union supporters, Democrats, liberals or all of the mentioned. Many are arrogant because they spend all day lording over children that know little of the truth. I have little respect for teachers in my area because of their arrogance, beliefs, and poor education and lack of motivation to better our children.
