I posted this a few posts up, but thought you might have missed it:
Learned today one of my son's teachers told him that in a mock election he HAD to vote for Kerry.
I was appalled. He didn't tell me because on the whole he likes the teacher and probably thought I would call and raise hell, but he told the woman who keeps him in the afternoons and she told me. Needless to say, I'm pretty irritated right now.
My five year old came home yesterday and told me about their class vote. She said one of the boys voted for John Kerry, "dad can you believe it?" I'm so proud of her!
"Learned today one of my son's teachers told him that in a mock election he HAD to vote for Kerry."
If you follow up on this, please ping me. Thanks!
I have shadowed my son's History (excuse me, Social Studies) classes.
Where do our Rights come from? Do you know why? Why do we have the right to Keep and Bear Arms? You get the picture.
He will pick up the liberal bent in school and as he goes into his late teens, he may even adopt the views which are opposite of mine (teenaged rebellion), yet I have made sure his foundation is a strong one.
If I found out he was "forced" to cast a ballot (regardless of who it is cast for) I would be ripping the pavement up at that school. It may seem like a minor issue, but it would be an issue which would put a giant bug up my butt.
