That sucks. My daughter is a soph. in an all girl Catholic HS. After the last debate her English teacher just trashed McCain. Said he is bad for the country etc. A bunch of the girls in her class, a lot are black, are also for Obama. My daughter is not up on politics, only what she hears from my husband and I and FOX. She and one other girl were trying to defend McCain. I feel this will hurt her grades as the teacher was not happy. She asked my daughter if she were a republican and she said my parents are. My daughter said she acts like one of the kids.
Her global teacher at least presents both sides.
My son, who went to an all boys HS, had to watch the Al Gore movie. He asked the teacher to show a movie about the other view point and the teacher said no.
I went to St. Teresa’s (all girl Catholic High school), but it was a long time ago. We never talked politics. It’s a private school.....talk to the principal or the dean or whoever. You have the right to stand up against this kind of garbage!
If the teachers are going to turn the classroom into a political rally, BOTH SIDES should be represented. Bring in a conservative speaker!
I would be on the phone to the Principal so fast.....screaming at him/her why the Teacher is spreading her opinion on politics instead of teaching ENGLISH!
PLEASE, PLEASE CALL THE PRINCIPAL OF YOUR DAUGHTER’S SCHOOL AND COMPLAIN ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED! GET ANY OTHER PARENTS YOU CAN TO DO THE SAME!
THANKS! JUST ME A RETIRED KINDERGARTEN TEACHER
Gore's lies get plenty of play in the government schools. I teach an online Oceanography course for high school students. The kids always start out spouting Gore-isms, because they assume that is what I want to hear. Once they understand that we are actually going to study facts, they are actually relieved. So far I haven't had one of them fight me when I explain to them the errors in An Inconvenient Truth. They have been quite literally brainwashed by their undereducated "science" teachers, who actually think Algore is a credible scientific source.
