How quickly would the culture shut down students who want to start a Christian Club?
From what I've seen here, it seems that the studies are more current events than history.
I can't find any information on anyone taking an identity as, say, George Washington, or Abe Lincoln, or even Gen. Patton or FDR.
And even the current events are not U.S. based, as if a US perspective is unimportant. They are global in scope. I wonder how many of them have taken identities as Bin Laden or Zarqawi or Kim Jung Il.

If they're anything like some of the people on Leno's Jaywalking they're all idiots! Some of those people make you wonder if it's set up like that.
My money is on Rush also...he is a rib rock constitutional conservative, as am I and I have always said, I stop listening to him when he starts putting out stuff that the DNC spews daily. He knows the Democrats like noone else does, and understands how they work. Just listen!!

Baloney!
Liberalism is a Mental Disorder
Let's see them go one on one. When any group gets a many on one, the one doesn't get to say much and their words will be used out of context.
I bet these shiiildren will use the liberal view of "history".
At least the original old-money North Shore residents produced quite a number of captains of industy, business, finance, literature, entertainment and the arts. They had money, but in general, they were conservative Middle-Westerners, had good manners and work ethics.
Today, thanks to busy parents and determined liberal, leftist teachers and professors which abound in Evanston, third and fourth generations of old money have and will have more than the average amount of dilettante socialists, limp-wristed wussies, charity-ball lizards, pseudo-intellectuals contemplating their navels, bleeding hearts, perpetual students, vegans, conspicuous consumers, converts to Islam, aspiring writers at Nation magazine, Europhiles, Hillary-moms, snail-eaters, pantheists, UN interns, MoveOn donors.......and languorous trolls on Free Republic.
This generational shift isn't confined to the elite in Evanston, by the way, as we all know.

It's true that Rush Limbaugh doesn't claim to be objective.It is also true that claiming to be objective is sophistry.
Not a Rush fan?
When my wife went to North Shore Country Day, she had to tutor the "less fortunate", so they sent her to ETHS. She was not very impressed. It might have been the magnetometers at the doors turned her off first turned her off, but then again the students that she dealt with were not incredibly bright.
In that case Rush should at the last moment says something came up and have his conservative replacement Ben Stein (Win Ben Stein's Money fame) debate them.
No matter how prepared they was I would put money on Ben Stein.
Who gets to decide what the questions are.
You can set your watch by the fact that Rush isn't going to "debate" in a forum in which others control the microphone. You want to debate Rush, you call his program . . . and stay on the air at his pleasure.Which is more consideration than Dan Rather or Walter Cronkite ever gave any conservative.
Reminds me of that scumbag teacher in NYC who had his students write crap to the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
In Universities they bleet out this crap themselves. Think Ward Churchill...in High School they say "That big, bad, meanie Rush Limbaugh upset me...get him students!"
What was it that Ann Coulter said was the most asked question at the DNC convention is Boston last year? Oh yeah, it was "So, where do you teach?"
I'm glad that many of the teachers at my kids schools are Conservative. Whenever I talk to them I leave them without a doubt where I stand. And I've seen two different reactions. They are either quiet as a church mouse (libs) or they agree and chime in with reasons of their own why libs/dems should be taken out with the trash.
Most of these teachers chime in... :)
Comments like this about students who are being taught the wrong lessons in public schools say much more about those who make them than about the children.
I often agree with Rush, but these students are simply telling him to put up or shut up.
The fact that some on this thread insult them for that is contemptible.
This says everything I need to know about what these airheaded kids are being spoon fed.
