All government school classroom discourse should be on the record, just like court proceedings. Those who are paying these servants deserve to know every word they are being paid for.

It would be simple and inexpensive to have a mic in each room, uploading to the Internet for parents, students, and taxpayers to listen to.

Each teacher has the right and the obligation to teach about controversial issues.

Each teacher....math teachers? I would prefer that my child have a math teacher who teaches math.

There are plenty of good conservative teachers in public schools (my mother, for example), but they realize that the classroom is for education and not politics, so we never hear reports of teachers going on rants about the evils of the Left.

Prayers for those teachers who try to do what they're paid to do...

"On Sept. 11, 2001, al Qaeda operatives were "attacking legitimate targets, people who have blood on their hands, as far as they're concerned." Oh, and capitalism violates "human rights." "

No wonder our kids are so screwed up.

An excellent education can be had for approximately 5% of what we pay now (if that much). If teachers' lectures were on the web, with transcripts and texts, we wouldn't need 10% of the bricks and mortar schools we've got. Those who get hits, get paid. Those that don't, don't get paid. A vew good teachers would get rich. Lousy teachers can clean toilets.

Without the need to fund the system with taxes, far more people could afford to stay home and teach their kids.

What liberals are most angry about is the fact that people found out.

If Sean had accused the teacher of the same without the recording, Bannish and others would have denied it and that would have been the end of it.

And the Liberals would have accused Sean of making up the story.

COLORADO high-school sophomore Sean Allen couldn't convince his father that his geography teacher was as over-the-top as he contended.

Is dad illiterate?

over the weekend it was reported that Yale U officials said about recruiting the Taliban ..."we lost one already to Harvard and we'll not let that happen again...."

I would like to know what was the name of the terrorist recruited by Harvard...
