" Do they have the Constitutional right to share their garbage or not?"

They most assuredly do not. Their views would corrupt the education process.

I would much rather have a bus driver sharing their views than a teacher. Teachers should keep their views completely out of the classroom, especially since most of them are not competent to speak on anything beyond babysitting.

Maybe we ought to let the bus drivers teach the classes too.

We wouldn't want the little ones actually learning something, would we.

So much for education in the true sense of the word.

Only a negligent parent would want their child to be influenced by a pompous fool and out of touch ego maniac like you. Best you keep to posting on internet bulletin boards in an anonymous fasion.

I think the firing of my wife has more to do with refusing to join the union even though they still take out their cut and or the other reason, the big Bush/Cheney sign in her vehicle she drove to work everyday..

Although I think this is much ado about nothing by the school, I've got to wonder why they would want to fire a person for not joining the union. I would believe it would be just the opposite. Why would any employer fire someone for not belonging to a union.

You are unable or do not want to understand what I have posted. You seem to caught up in a vicious cycle of anti moral values conservative thought. And even more puzzling, a naive? or deliberate misunderstading of what is going on in mnay public schools.

I'm not nearly as moronic as you would like to portray me. I understand very well what is going on here. You are so filled with fury over the liberals spouting their nonsense that you've decided that it's fine and dandy if Conservatives do it too.

In the name of "fairness" you want your equal share of filling the minds of young children with "truth". My position is that both sides are wrong when they share personal views with the children. I want both sides to knock it off.

This has nothing to do with some "antimoral values" bilge. This is about being a parent who wants to raise her own children and not wanting anyone who works in an official capacity for the public school interfering with what I teach them.

If Mrs. Mayor were my personal friend and had this discussion in my house, I wouldn't argue with it at all. I happen to agree with her view.

"You think I got a constituional right to NOT have that happen? HUH?!! You're damn right I do!!"

Moronic incoherent statements such as yours should not be dignified by a response so I will let it speak for itself.

They would make better teachers, at least my wife would.

I will come back and argue more later.

I live in new york, you guys just don't get it. I am so sick and dam tired of my children coming home with twisted views and opinions from their teachers. Every frikin one of them is a mouth piece for the liberal left, union hacks with tenior, they cannot be fired for their liberal point of view. They retire, suck off the taxpayers for the rest of their life and move to florida and pay no taxes to the state and the people that paid them for those many years...

When and if the liberals lose control of the schools, when they stop the indoctrination, and TEACH! Is when we might shut our mouths.

If I had the money all of my kids would be home schooled or sent to Christian schools.
We need vouchers, competition the good will survive. Get rid of the unions, get rid of the liberal ideaology, blah, blah, blah!!

It has been a long frustrating day listening and reading about things that make this whole thing so twisted. The schools saying that my wife resigned to cover their ass, and the ignorance of people is so disheartening.

I just logged onto my computer and saw this, Your Honor. I am Flabergasted! Those commie-libs are trying to get rid of your wife because her Godly Advice might Save some children out of the Brainwashing they have subjected them to! Your wife is a HERO, Mr. Mayor, because she stood for Truth and Righteousness, against an Avalanche of Indoctrination! Our Lord Bless Julianne for her Godliness, and Strengthen you both through this ordeal, is my Prayer!

Keep your opinions ot yourself and away from children. People like you give this site a bad name.

Kindly apply your advice to yourself, if you would, and leave this Good man alone.
