That's nothing. A high school boy in Houston called talk radio last night and told the mc that his teacher sat back in muted silence as the kids ended a discussion of the war with repeated chants of "Death to Bush". The radio guy said wait on the line, no I am serious, wait on the line, the secret service would like to know about this. there are laws against threatening the president.

We have raised a generation of a-holes. Good job folks.

Let's hope he waited on line!

The teacher should have done his students a favor and told his kids that. It might save them a lot of grief -- but perhaps he is just as clueless as they are.

Hmmmm? You can say you hate the President in public, and you can carry a sign of Bush's face with a line through it, but you cannot call for his death in public.

I would guess this teacher will have a lot of 'splaining to do - and could be out of a job. These people have to get a grip on this hatred of Bush - it's over the top.

Not all of our kids are a-holes. My sixteen year old daughter regularly takes on her liberal teachers and wins. My daughter is informed, VERY smart, doesn't get emotional, and makes her teacher(s) stick to the facts. If it is something she is not sure of she comes home and finds out then goes back and "revisits" the issue. Since she is well liked by the other students, I have hope that she is reaching them as well.
