It is human geography, much more than just mountains and hills, but demographics etc.

But, you are right he should keep his politics out of the class.

...Bennish also told district officials that he should have balanced each lecture "contemporaneously" on controversial issues rather than over the course of the term, according to Lane.
I cannot WAIT to hear the tapes of Mr. Bennish's pro-America, pro-Bush, pro-free enterprise lectures. :o)

I would love it if as many students as possible would enter his class and place their tape recorders on top of their desks.

As a Coloradan and resident of Arapahoe county, I figured Bennish would get a hand slap and be reinstated. But what bothers me more is that he spoke out against this student in a public forum. Doesn't that violate confidentiality rules?

It seems this would warrant more than a hand slap...

Hey, gal! You're using language I didn't hear back in the barracks a lifetime ago. Shouldn't you have put this in "Chat"?

Thats all it really is, pathetic rhetoric. He should not be fired. We do not like it but there it is. It will take years to counter the last 30 years of Lefty indoctrination of the schools, high schools are not that bad, its the colleges.

He should also get his arguments right. If he's presenting Al Queda's views, he should at least be familiar with them - instead he presented leftist Academias views and misrepresented them as Al Quedas.

Now let's wait for this oaf to launch his next rant. It will be interesting to see reports on his reaction to "constant taping."

Am I alone in suspecting that "human geography" is nothing more than PC bilge directed at making every sentient entity not afflicted with Bennish-ism feel bad about existing? For example, I have decidedly averse feelings both to Jungle and to Steppe... the first accommodates "Green Hell", the second sends Genghis Khan sweeping West whenever forage fails.

Hey, Big Ben! How you like them apples, you plugged-up rat?

He has been warned to follow the district's guidelines on teaching both sides of a controversial issue.

The commie side and the socialist side?

S***canning people with tenure is almost impossible.

Every kid should show up at geography class on Monday with a tape recorder.

Sorry... as much as I think this guy is a lowlife liberal creep, this is not the sort of thing anybody should lose their job over.

He should get a reprimand, not so much for what he said, but merely for the fact that he was wasting class time pontificating with personal opinions on matters unrelated to the subject matter.

This should be the same whether he was a liberal or a conservative. Class time is class time, and it should be spent on the subject matter at hand.
