I'm not really a fan of this guy, but I'm bored and tired of everyone and their mother mellow dramatizing this guy like he's some kind of evil monster who's out to steal our children, I'm sure there are more important things to be discussed but I figure this could help put a nail into this stories coffin.

Nice of you to sign up yesterday to let us know how bored you are with this topic.
Bennish is a turd and should be fired. There, now that wasn't so boring was it?

I heard a recent inquiry found that most Americans thought the First Amendment was the right to own a pet. Or the right to drive a car.

Wonder how long this teacher would last if parents had school choice...

Curious if all the defenders would be saying the same thing if he had been using Conservative talking points. Given the recent conduct of the Hysteric Left at Harvard, pretty obvious they would not. Political Indoctrination, even when you agree with it, is complete improper in a Classroom. Funny how the same people who push Hate Speech Codes NOW want to pretend they are defenders of Free Thought.

Bennish is the poster boy for what is wrong with government schools and why we need vouchers.
Oh, and you are a troll.

To an extent, I agree with you. However, this teacher is FAR from uniqueand that point has to be hammered home. This is my thirteenth year teaching in public schools and guys/gals like him are everywhere.
The shock expressed in reaction to his rant disturbed me only because it shows how unaware the public is of what is being "taught" in taxpayer funded schools.

well at least you are tip toing. Remember you are new, and we are watching you VERY carefully. I am already suspicious but a few more comments like that from a new commer and you will become history in FR.
Having said that, welcome.

From the posted article:
"Bennish attempted to stimulate a discussion by critiquing and responding to Bush’s State of the Union address. He put the U.S. into context by describing us as “probably the most violent nation on planet earth.” By almost every measure this is true. We have the highest incarceration rate, one of the highest murder and domestic violence rates, among the world’s most violent entertainment, and we have gotten ourselves into more wars than any other nation in modern history."
The teacher, the writer of the above, and anyone else who thinks this puts "the U.S. into context" are retards.

This seems like a troll, but I will bite. The article has this interesting little bit after describing the syllabus for the class:
"He writes that the main objective of his class is 'to help students to think for themselves, and to become independent, responsible, upright young adults. This entails showing respect, consideration, and tolerance to all people and ideas in an academic context.'
What I heard him doing on the tape was not to help students to think for themselves, but helping them know what to think. I would be just as offended if the teacher were saying similar things about one of Nancy Reed's speeches.

It's fortunate you enlightened us on all the new information on Bennish. Michael Niman must have some inside info on him. LOL

I too, am bored with Mr. Nebbish, but he is an example of something far too common in the schools and the topic needs to be thoroughly discussed.
