Is it irresponsible, though, to suggest to students that the U.S. was part of the attacks?
"The main thing I try to do is teach classes that engage students from a variety of perspectives. I pride myself on that. A big part of the class is fact-checking. My goal is not to tell students what happened. My goal is to teach them to think carefully, systematically and pursue answers for themselves." |

Did you see a direct answer to the question in there?
we have to ask these types of questions in school.

this should boost private and home schools nationally.
I note that the criticism is leveled at the description of the course, not its content. If the course raises conspiracy theory as a question — and then teaches students to examine such theories critically — that not only isn’t an outrage, it’s a needed public service.
If we insulate students from dumb ideas instead of tackling them head-on, we turn the students loose on the Internet without the skills to look at them critically. I’d bet my bottom dollar that at least some of these students have already read, and some of them believe, some of the Truther nonsense.
There’s got to be a way to lop off Kalifornia, Oregon and Washington and send them directly to the Soviet Union, errr, Russia!
“Alternative school” aka a school for dhims,rats and subversives.
This is the kind of crap that the NEA pushes in our schools all the time.
