Unfortunately this does not surprise me. Last Year my son was given an assignment for Social Studies.. it was to write a letter to President Bush telling him why they think the war was wrong and the troops should be brought home now. That was the assignment... PERIOD. No writing in support if thats how you felt. I would have had no problem with it if the letters were supposed to tell Bush your particular position, but the teacher was not interested in that. I told my son that in that case, I was not going to be one bit upset that he got an F on the assignment. Well, perhaps a little, but not at him. Judging from a recent news story on O'Reilly about such a thing, perhaps I shoulda raised a little hell and gotten some attention about this even earlier than a couple weeks ago, but it did not seem like anything new, I had been exposed to socialist games by teachers even when I was in school.

When I was in 10th grade, one of my teachers DID get fired because of a comment he made to me in front of the class once, some of ya may find this amusing...
In science class the teacher was pushing he whole evolution thing, and we were discussing genetics. When I pointed out his theories had to be wrong, because I and red headed and have both parents are black headed. Red hair seem to pop up every third generation and all my cousins are red heads with dark hair parents too. Anyway, this teacher thought he was being cute when he said to me in front of the class "Musta been a ni**er in the woodpile somewhere". He thought it was humorous... the dozen black students in the class didn't.

Schools need to be held accountable. This teacher should have a black mark on his/her permanent record. I would immediately remove my child from that class....maybe even the school.

Oh come on, is that true?

Red hair is a recessive trait, isn't it? That's why it is so rare, so actually it would not be unusual to have two brown hair parents beget a red-haired child.

That's why they call it hair-red-ity, don'tcha know!

I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.

This infuriates me but it's not surprising. EVERY parent must monitor what AGENDAS (see my home page) are being shoved down their kids throats in school, because I guarantee that it is the most extreme sort of socialism and globalism you can imagine. You want to know how I show my students every year that they have been victims of agendas at the start of every school year? I ask them two questions:

#1 How many of you, in your entire school careers have EVER heard a teacher or administrator say something GOOD about guns?

#2 How many of you, in your entire school careers have EVER heard a teacher or administrator say something BAD about the United Nations?

No? Guess what? That is an AGENDA.

Parents you MUST monitor what is said in your child's social studies classes at ALL ages! The instant you sense a socialist agenda is forming you have a duty to go in and rant and rave and pound on a desk with your shoe. You won't get anywhere, but they'll know you're watching.

I would also urge the parents of kids who are about to enter college to send their kid to a summer camp run by the John Birch Society for a crash course in Constitutional truths. It's co-ed and not all classroom stuff. Lots of fun. JBS
