Mother says 9-year-old suspended for calling teacher cute

the best possible solution is to encouraged the ones who are teaching straight that they do have some supporters.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I hope I can persuade you to look at this differently.

There are several problems with so-called “good” teachers attempting to teach in evil schools:

** When sweet Mrs. Honey Bun ( the pastor's wife who loves her cat) teaches in the local godless socialist school, she risks fooling naive and inexperienced parents into thinking the local godless socialist school can't be *that* bad! Hey! Sweet Mrs. Honey Bun ( the pastor's wife who loves her cat) teaches there.

**The only possible way that a “good” teacher can keep a job, gain tenure, and not be fired or pushed out, is to be *sneaky* about their conservative and religious values. What's the danger in that?

Lesson taught: Conservatives and Christians are sneaky.

Lesson taught: Christians and conservatives are hypocrites who support a system in complete opposition to their values in exchange for paychecks and pensions.

** The dues paid by so-called “good” conservative and Christian teachers go to unions whose *published* goals are absolutely morally abhorrent!

Finally...To use a very extreme example: Should a German *willingly** have taken a paying job at a concentration camp just so he could give the prisoners a few crumbs of bread, or because he might not be as cruel as someone else? Or?...Should the rational action have been to join the resistance, work to shut the camps down, and fight to defeat the Nazis?

Well...Yes, the above is extreme, but it helps to understand that collaborating with evil does not necessarily help the victims of evil. The best course is help the victims escape and to work to shut evil down.

Godless and socialist schooling, is evil, and I fear for our nation and its freedom. Can our nation's experiment in self-government survive another generation being indoctrinated in these Marxist dominated and prison-like institutions? I don't think it can.

This is the idiocy that zero tolerance leads too. This is the kind of thinking that drives the actions of the TSA jackboots.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Obama already has his “civilian forces” that are as well funded as the military. As you pointed out they will be the TSA, teachers ( who are so sweet and love their cats), government workers, IRS agents, the park service, BATF, every other alphabet agency, and the entire social-welfare industrial complex.

Sadly...I fear that our very highest military will lead them. The same guys who ignored forgery, identity theft, a birth father of foreign origin, failure to e-verify, and who implemented insane Rules of Engagement, praised homosexuality in the ranks, and persecuted and/or ignored lower level officers who **politely** questioned the identity of the nation's Commander in Chief.

okay... What would you say to this scenario?... the names have been changed but the story is true.... 10th grade history

My daughter tells me she has a teacher who is very mean. He does not give the answers, he gives riddles, or lectures about reading other material for the answers. “Don't ever ask me for an answer to a question I've lectured about...” He reads current news articles, “dad I think it's the same site you go to, and he goes on a nut big time!” The last time was about Obama and a tax on Christmas trees...

Now, i’m paraphrasing a bit there and there are many more stories, but this alone, tells me there is a diamond thrown in with all the rhinestones in the NEA. and i’m not going think that there is only one. When my kids start coming home and they are changing my light bulbs and calling the cops because I have outside BBQ.... then i’ll say i should have listened to you. until then, i’ll be ready to steer them straight when I hear they are getting opinions as facts.

Would a parent let a child eat only partly poisoned food? Or, should a parent let a child eat food that is mostly poisoned because once in a while they can find an unpoisoned nugget?

And...While it is possible for conservatives to sneak in a bit of conservatism without getting fired, the schools are **by law** godlessly secular. Simply by attending the child must think and reason godlessly just to cooperate in the classroom, read and understand the texts, abide by school policies, and do outside assignments. If a Christian teacher does teach in one of our nation's socialist schools and/or does sneak in some God-centered belief their are several lessons that could be taught:

** Christians will teach a godless worldview ( they know is evil) and feed this to students in exchange for a paycheck and pension.
** Christians break the law.
** Christian are sneaky.

Personally, I have eliminated all socialist school teachers as friends. They are too evil or too stupid to be a friend.
