This article makes it sound like the students were protesting that the teacher was put on leave. FoxNews reported, though, that the students were split. About half were protesting that he was put on leave, and half were protesting that he made the comments.

Personally, I do not think teachers should be using public money to conduct partisan brainwashing. Partisanship ought to be as illegal as proselytizing religious beliefs in public schools.

Notice also the bias, "criticizing the President". Somehow, use of the word "criticizing" is simply not appropriate to rhetoric comparing Bush to Hitler.

"About half were protesting that he was put on leave, and half were protesting that he made the comments."

Probably more like thirds, with the last 1/3 just wanting a day off.

I'd tell the "protesting" students to get their asses back to their desk or risk suspension themselves.

Some students chanted "teach, don't preach."

Burning HOT topic here in CO. Too bad this guy doesn't have tenure, because he should have thought about it before he quit his job.

And 100 percent of them wanted to be part of something "significant" while getting to skip class at the same time.

In the tape, the teacher is heard saying there were similarities between remarks Bush made in his State of the Union address and "things that Adolf Hitler used to say."

I'm wondering what any of this has to do with geography. This teacher should stick with teaching the subject which he is supposed to be teaching, and leave his political rants at home.

From the excerpts I've heard on the radio today, it sounds like the teacher is a wanna-be liberal talk show host who doesn't have a show, so he uses his classroom instead.

I stopped listening to his rant after he claimed that the capitalist economic model destroys human values, since people only work for greedy motives.

If the dickbag hates capitalism so much, why the hell pay him? Just tell him can drink all he needs out of the water fountain and hand him a scoop of the people's rice.

I'll second that.

It is getting to the point that homeschooling is the only way to go.

I just saw this story on the TV news. One student taped the teacher's comments. Many other students are defending the teacher's actions.

Defend the indefensable is the lib's way.

I suppose it's completely out of the question to ask the "teacher" to teach the subject of geography and ask the students to attend school.

After watching the video on FNC it was obvious that this "walkout" was orchestrated by at least two female "teachers." It appears that the "teachers" called a fire drill at the "school" and then were out there making sure that their braindead, young skulls full of mush were facing the cameras. Pretty sick but you know the Commies at ABC loved it.

And you're always be able to get one hundred kids to cut classes if you give them a "cause".

On the tape, Bennish ... is heard quoting part of the State of the Union address: "It is our duty as Americans to use the military to go out in the world and make the world like us." Bennish continues: "Sounds a lot like what Adolph Hilter used to say."

This "quote" from the State of the Union address does not appear in the transcript of the State of the Union address, which is widely available on the Internet. But this is what we have come to expect from the left, lies to prop up their delusional ravings. If Mr. Bennish actually said that the statement "It is our duty as Americans to use the military to go out in the world and make the world like us," he should be fired for either (a) gross incompetence in not having the most basic work ethic and/or skills to get his facts straight, and/or (b) a reckless disregard for the truth that should not be accepted in the classroom, and/or (c) being a brazen liar who is using his tax-funded position to advocate his own political positions.

Tustin Amole, a Cherry Creek School District spokeswoman, told KMGH that an investigation of the incident would take about a week.

No, no, no Tustin. First thing you do is form a "Blue Ribbon Panel" to look into the incident. Take your time--three months should be adequate.

Next, the panel announces its intentions to begin an investigation. All inquiries as to how long the investigation will take, what they've found so far, etc., should be deflected with a comment like, "I'm not at liberty to discuss the investigation while it's on-going", or "Revealing evidence would compromise the integrity of the investigation".

Now that the work is done, sit back and relax. "But what about the investigation" you ask? "What investigation?", I say. Sure, politicians and citizens will rail, letters will be written to the editor, but that will die off soon enough as the public forgets about the whole incident. In about nine months, release a report (internally, of course) not only absolving Mr. Bennish but promoting him to an administrative position.

If you have any questions, just ask for guidance from your neighbors at CU that are "investigating" Ward Churchill.
