I have listened to the tape. Not only did the teacher rant and rave, most of the rants were not factual. There is enough evidence on the tape to terminate the teacher immediately.
It is one thing to express an opinion. Quite another to have the historical facts totally wrong.
Exactly how we do it, too.
We don't have too many flaming liberals in the rural parts of Texas, but the curriculum still leans too far to the left for my tastes.
Ever since they started public school, I've covered the more classical aspects of education with my girls over the summer.
This puts them way ahead of their classmates, and prepares them to judge any 'facts' presented by the teachers or textbooks for themselves.
If they have any further questions on a subject I'm unable to answer, we dig up the information together and discuss what we've found.
Not only is it legal but some teachers insist that their lectures are recorded and reviewed later by their students.
A teacher in any public school has no expectation of privacy when it comes to their lessons, they can't just teach or preach whatever they want, and can be removed if they teach anything other then what they are supposed to i.e: racism, hate, religion, creation, etc, etc....
Why should Hate filled liberal propaganda be any different? It isn't part of the State's lesson plan, and the state writes the checks.
Did you ever read James Clavell's, The Children's Story?
It happens in Catholic elementary/middle schools, too.
Does anyone have more info on this aspect of what Mr. Morris said?
Some of the middle school teachers my son has are starting in a very liberal bent.
English giving writing on the Bay of Pigs "the worst miliary mistake in US history". Per my son's English teacher.
English assignment poems by Allen Ginsberg.
Health handing out cards for the "Runaway Hotline" and LI Crisis Center but not telling kids to talk to their parents.
Typical lib ping.
So did I, back in the early-to-mid 1980s, during the height of the Cold War. This very same teacher also taught that the American Revolution was simply a fight between rich white men over who would control the profits of an entire continent.
We called him Ol' Nellie, and for a hippie whose best years had passed him by, he was pretty smart. He challenged us to think for ourselves; unfortunately, when we did, most of us figured out that everything he preached was utter bravo sierra. But in my opinion, he did us a great service by teaching us that everything taught to you in school is not necessarily the gospel truth.
The recording is too nauseating to finish`. Someone needs to get to this moronic teacher and explain the facts of life before he offends again.
Funny, but some of the best teachers my kids had were the liberal ones!! They were usually some of the most demanding and did alot of enrichment. I didn't care what their political views were as long as they taught their subject matter well. How can you put a spin on math or chemistry?? lol
A liberal teacher in TX is quite funny! We lived in a well to do suburb of Dallas where the kids had EVERYTHING and when a lib teacher would preach things like energy efficient cars to kids with SUBURBANS they would just roll their eyes and laugh.
Good way to look at it.
He went on about how we have had troops for 30 years in columbia.
The instructor is a Geography teacher..... Is requiring a PUBLIC SCHOOL teacher to teach Geograpghy asking too much...? It's not a liberal/conservative issue...
Hello...anyone home?
Somehow I can imagine this so-called teacher dressing in all black and attending those (violent) anti-war protests.. frequently!
I had heard it was a math class this happened in so between 2+2=4 and pie are round, cake is square - he launched into this which seems out of place for a math class.
Drudge has audio...
The teacher basically blames Israel, labeling them the first terrorists for their founding of their country. The problem with that arguement is that Palestinians can live in Israel, but Jews cannot live in Palestine.
yeah, on Pacifica or Air America radio.
With all due respect, what the kid did was legal - barring any school policy that says otherwise regarding recording devices, as it was 'public speech', i.e.; in front of his whole class. As such it was not a private conversation and no expectations of privacy are attached.
As to Linda Tripp, that's completely different. That involved taping of a Telephone Conversation which is covered by the Communications Act (among other laws). The other party must be made aware the conversation is being taped. With a phone conversation between two people, the expectation of privacy does exist.
It's not illegal to tape conversations in public. In Colorado you only need one party consent to tape telephone conversations. This was not a telephone conversation.
