This teacher is a bigot of many colors. How do you classify someone who preaches hatred for Christians, people living in a different part of the country, and talk radio? If I didn't know better I would think he a card-carrying demorat.

Hmmmm..and I always thought it was the big...LIBERAL..cities like New York, Chicago and Los Angels that had the highest crime. Stoopid me!!

"What part of the country has the highest murder rate? The South. What part of the country has the highest rape rate? The South."

Someone should ask the "teacher" what the skin color of the vast majority of the perpetrators of those murders and rapes (usually with victims of the same skin color). It might be a revelation to him/her.

We are used to it down here. We don’t pay much attention to anyone from the left coast.

One could make another observation about the south, that may be relevant to the issues he brings forth, but to do so would bring howls of recrimination.

Hmmm, the last time I looked at a map, NYC, Boston, Philly, Chicago and Detroit are in the North...Oh it was a public school teacher, that explains it. never seen a map before!

Regrettably, the teacher is apparently right about murder rates; the South has the highest murder rate, with the state of Louisiana leading the pack at 12.4 /100,000 people in 2006. Overall the “South” has 6.8 murders / 100,000 vs. the NE at 4.5 and a national average of 5.7.

I’ve never heard such drivel, none of those statements are factual except maybe the church attendance. And then this moron tries to draw a correlation between church attendance and murder,rape and crime. Some one should tell this guy that church is what these perps do to get out of jail.

[Tuscaloosa Goldfinch]

What might be a better question is .. what party governs the cities with the highest murder rate. HMMMM???

[Rick.Donaldson]

What place in America can you NOT take a gun to defend you? Classroom. How many classrooms, students and churches have been attacked in the whole world in the last few years? LOTS of them, why? Because they are gun free zones.

Teachers need to STFU about politics and stick to teaching reading, writing and arithmetic....

[Williams]

I will just about guarantee you the murders in those states, and just about every state, are committed by and against a disproportionate number of city folks who vote democrat, if they vote at all.

Further, Louisiana certainly has a very strong democrat party, which often controls the state.

Finally, the murder rate in Blue Pennsylvania's Blue Philadelphia is a national scandal, and Blue NJ's murder rate is climbing as the 7th fastest in the nation.

[Little Ray]

I don’t think there is any questions about that, but then you get into racial and cultural issues, and those are taboo.

[ontap]

I stand corrected.

[Neoliberalnot]

This is not the point of the teachers rant. Besides, this difference is very small and may not be statistically significant, meaning, it is a random event. DC once had the highest rate in the country and much of this has to do with numbers in law enforcement. Most of the top murder rate cities are in the north.

moral lessons relating to tolerance and inclusion

Tolerance for everybody except for Christians, Southerners, and Limbaugh it would seem.

[LearnsFromMistakes]

I feel safe in saying that a blue/red map (like the county breakdown in the last election) would have most rapes & murders in solidly blue areas.
