If teacher White belongs to the NEA of the AFT the parent can scream bloody murder and nothing will come of this. It will be swept under the rug.

An 8th-grade science teacher in Alabama who also is running as a Democrat for a seat in the state House was reprimanded for showing students a vulgar filmstrip that repeatedly refers to President Bush, members of his staff and conservative personalities as "a--holes."
But parent Christy Jackson is upset that teacher Steve White of West Limestone High School in Lester, Ala., got off with only a "slap on the wrist," the local Athens News Courier reported.
As WorldNetDaily first reported in September, the video, which can be viewed here [Warning: Contains obscene language], is in a slideshow format accompanied by a song that repeatedly uses the obscenity. Along with images of Bush, the show includes Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, columnist Ann Coulter and Fox News Channel hosts Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly.
The filmstrip's website, FilmstripInternational.com, is registered to SLAB Media, based in Somerville, Mass.
The accompanying song, titled "A--hole," is by the Boston-area band Jim's Big Ego, whose website is also designed by SLAB.
Jackson said she was "livid" when she found out about the video and wants White to apologize.
"I'm really not out to get anybody fired, but I think a lesson needs to be learned and I don't want any teacher showing my son anything that is not clean or related to his studies," she told the Athens paper.
Jackson said West Limestone Principal Stan Davis told her White had been reprimanded. But she said the principal did not give her details.
School board member Darin Russell said the board learned of the controversy a month ago, but it was handled only by Superintendent Barry Carroll as a "personnel matter," the News Courier reported.

I wonder if it might have been a stunt to get the far left voters on his side.
Does anyone still not think that this country is heading towards a major civil war?
Hannity & Colmes are discussing this now...
What is a science teacher doing showing this? Shouldn't he be teaching *gasp* science? Must be another one of those "human geography" teachers...
Yea, I'm watching it.
I won't die Red, buddy!

You are making too much sense for a Demorat to understand.
Maybe between the minutemen and the aliens...
Yes, a lot of us are still rational. Sorry you went over the deep end.
Let us know if the medications help.
Why won't the guy speaking pull out the big guns:
"We're going to put a stop to leftist teachers who think they can get away with indoctrination in our schools. I have a message for teachers who think they can turn schools into their private Marxist indoctrination camps: resign now, because we're going to root you out and put the screws to you and anyone who protects you."
Well, there's at least a little bit of hope. My instructor for hydraulics and pneumatics class was lecturing on the concept of the pressure of a column of fluid. As an example, he drew a little car sitting under 30 feet of water in regard to the pressure differential on the doors. After drawing the picture, he says "OK, so let's say this car drove off a bridge...maybe it was driven by Ted Kennedy..." All of the older dudes in the class had a good chuckle.
even alan colmes agrees this is just a leap to far in liberalism and would support the teacher being fired.
you think a film strip is a sign of impending civil war???
satan always overplays his hand.
Lots of liberal numbskulls in the American Federation of Teachers. They make up a sizeable chunk of the delegates to the Democratic National Convention.
I hate it when Colmes agrees with me.
And the schools have no time to teach history because of the evil Bush No Child Left Behind changes.
What a caboose.
