A highly charged political debate between a student and his teacher is garnering a lot of attention. The video captured 10 minutes of the confrontation, though the student said the debate lasted longer.
The video begins as the Latino student and his teacher debate about police brutality in America. The student cites facts — that black-on-black crime is more prominent and police shoot more white people — but the teacher simply dismisses the argument by criticizing him.
“You’re clearly a radical, a conservative,” the teacher says.
As the debate goes on, the student says he obtains his statistics from the FBI, which the teacher said is “seeded in white supremacy.” She later tells the non-white student that he is a byproduct of white supremacy.
Midway through the debate, when the teacher and student are discussing terrorism, the teacher appears to say “every white man perpetuates domestic terrorism.”
For several minutes, the two argue about the definition of terrorism. The student maintains that terrorism is using violence in the pursuit of political goals, while the teacher said the “terrorism” label in America is essentially racist. That’s when the student read the definition of “terrorism” from the Merriam-Webster dictionary, proving him correct.
However, the teacher denied that the dictionary was correct and said that she “bets” that she is smarter than it.
At the end of the confrontation, the teacher told the student that his points were wrong because he was using words incorrectly and didn’t know their definition. Remember, the teacher denied the textbook definition of the word “terrorism.
The student, who wished to remain anonymous, told TheBlaze the confrontation took place in his 12th grade creative writing class. He attends high school in the Hudson Valley area.

Ignorance is curable. This teacher is just plain old brain washed indoctrinated stupid who refuses to learn the facts. She has her own set of facts and will not change them regardless of who proves her 100% wrong.
She is literally stuck on stupid.
Very impressive young man. Obviously self taught when you consider the nature of the progressive teachers he has been exposed to such as this one
Teachers are the people most resistant to learning that I know. And stupid as well.

Garbage In - Garbage Out ,, Teaching has always been known as the “degree of last resort” for college students that can’t pass anything else.
Reminds me of when I would confront the Wackos at San Francisco State University. During the first Gulf War there were daily lunch time demonstrations. I would often wade into the fray confronting and confounding the young skulls full of mush with facts, history and the truth. One day after the idiot could no longer take it, ceased trying to discuss and shouted ‘how can you be conservative and have long hair?’ The rest of the crowd that had gathered had a good laugh at that one.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
