I hope this does not put a nail into this story's coffin. It is just the tip of the iceberg of a much larger problem. There is a place and time for vigourous political debate but a math, english or geography high school class is not usually the place. A one-sided, anti-American, political attack usually makes students feel intimidated and less likely to voice their own opinions given the power the teachers have over the students' grades. The best teacher my son says he ever had was a history teacher who kept his political biases out of class. Even after the class was over, my son had no idea which way the teacher leaned politically. I think that is what we want out of our teachers. He presented both sides of each issue and encouraged a variety of responses and free debate without any kind of intimidation. We want teachers who actually teach the subject for which they are paid and do not spend 50% of the class spewing their personal opinions.
