[Mrs. Don-o]

I've got nothing against a teacher voicing an anti-war perspective; and I mean religious, moral, liberal, conservative, whatever; I've heard some pretty conservative FReepers, even, say they'd not deploy, or not want their kid to deploy, to Afghanistan at least under the present Obaminable conditions, so guess that's anti-war.

But this teacher chose the wrong forum by far. This was the students' day; people stood to applaud the students' commitment, not "war" and not "US policy in Afghanistan and Iraq."

This isn't dialog, it's effrontery. She shouldn't be given the satisfaction of thinking she "used a teaching moment to spark a dialogue." She deserves to have several imposing persons explain the matter to her ---in a way that gets through her bozone.

I am always disappointed in hearing about members of my profession who are so very ignorant!

I am happy to say that there are more conservative teachers than one might think. More are leaving the NEA once they realize the truth! I will certainly celebrate the day I see the end of the NEA and the national Department of Education!
