I would send this to the teacher demanding a response. If none is sent, I would copy to the principal, the Board of Education, and the State Education Superintendent. (I would also copy your local Newspaper's and TV.)

Dear Teacher:

You continue to step over the line of trusted instructor by openly and unapologetically pushing a political agenda on our children. Your attack on the President for "stealing the election" exceeds your mission to foster critical thinking. Likewise, your critique of Gone with the Wind as being false, for lacking scenes of murder, rape and oppression, strains credulity. In each instance, your personal political beliefs shine through, and your failure of judgment makes it plain that you confuse education with indoctrination.

Most recently, you have compelled your students to watch Michael Moore's "Bowling for Columbine." This "documentary" is nothing more than a thinly disguised, left-wing propaganda film that seeks to distort facts, while using death, tragedy, and the child victims of hate to push a political agenda. Your track record demonstrates that you cannot use this film to illicit thoughtful dialogue. I fear, you are using it merely as a tool of indoctrination.

Your actions and agenda require an explanation. If you continue to use the public classroom to advance a personal political bias, I will move with dispatch to shine a public light on your activities. Your methods are not acceptable at the High School level, and would be troubling even at a college level.

If you would care to defend these actions, I will give you that opportunity. Failing something cogent from you, I intend to see you removed from the classroom.

I hope this helps.
