[This Just In]

It would appear to me that the inmates are running the prison.

"High school students have every right to question the war in Iraq..."

...in the privacy of their own home where discussions with their parents(I shudder at the thought) should take place. School should be an institute of education. Of learning, not a facility for student activism. Certainly not for youths who are too immature to truly understand what war is all about, let alone global politics.

"School should be an institute of education. Of learning, not a facility for student activism. "

I could not agree more, however, what is going on in the world today is history in the making & therefore education. It is the way it is being handled in our schools that is the problem, IMHO. I was in high school during the Kent State University slayings, which was the result of the Vietnam war & ROTC protest. My Government class teacher had an open discussion day about it. We all voiced our opinions on the students & the police. The difference back then is he did not force his opinion or ideology on us. He was not an activist teacher.
