Oh bull. Just don't abuse your teaching authority to proslytize your politics, thats all. Anyone who can't lead a discussion without taking sides [or cheap shots] shouldn't be teaching to begin with.
Wasn't this one of the guys who starred in the "Revenge of the Nerds" movies?
THAT IS A PICTURE OF A GIRL?????
why am I not surprised that someone who is Pro-Bennish, looks like that....
ah the little junior level lefty (in the pic) has learned well from her overlords
Grow a pair, Bennish. If you intend to dish it out by comparing people to Hitler, you had better be prepared to take some return fire.
Sniveling wimp.
Anyone care to comment on the close cropped dyke cut and the red nose of the student in the picture?
As for the teachers like this one: "Stan Jozwiak, a social studies teacher at Boulder's Fairview High School, said he has had to "pull back" on his opinions of President Bush to create "sustained, nonconfrontational, nonbiased" discussions.
And the attorney for the 'teacher'is also a piece of work: "Bennish is not doing well and that the student took what occurred out of context. "This is very upsetting to him," Lane said.
Poor ickle socialists.
The people have a right to know. That teacher has a right to his opinions but his kook antiamerican ideals have no place in the classroom. I've long thought that the left only survives because they prey on children and the mentally and emotionally venerable hidden from public scrutiny. The light of truth is a harsh one but a professor, who believes so strongly, should be proud to have his lectures recorded and disseminated so widely. I also think it is admirable that parents should be more involved in their children's education at least that is the word at the local PTAs and candy fundraisers.
Ok,
So he wants to broaden thier minds, and make them think for themselves and says "... What I'm trying to get you to do is think about these issues more in depth and not just to take things from the surface."
If this is true, then why is it he can only voice one side of the argument? The Anti-American one.
My answer: Becuase this is absolutley NOT true. He is only out to indoctrinate, not to teach.
If he was intending to teach, even as controversial a topic as this, why didn't he make arguments in FAVOR of our country and our policies, along side his diatribe against. Why doesn't he have the students look up the truth for themselves, taking both pro and con stances in gradable reports? Maybe even assign it that way so no one feels like they "have to please" the teacher.
People like this have no balance, thus, no ideas.
Protests have consequences... I trust that these 150 protesters were suspended for being truant from class??????
