Vicious Educrats Taunt Children of National Guard
Here's one reason why America's government school monopolies are such failures: Taxpayer-supported leftist "teachers" are too busy harassing children of military personnel to teach.
Children of National Guard members are "coming home upset, depressed, crying," said Maj. Peter Rogers, a spokesman for the Maine National Guard. "This was based on some incidents that were happening in school, both in the classroom and on the playground." National Guard officials said they had "over 30 complaints that name schools and individual principals, teachers and guidance counselors."
Vicious "teachers" involved in the Marxist-led appeasement movement are bullying children as young as 7 years old.
"What we're hearing is that some of the educators are talking about the possible war in Iraq being unethical and that those who would fight it are unethical," Rogers says in today's Washington Times. "About a week ago, we started doing our family-assistance-center briefings," he said. "In these briefings, a number of families came forward and talked about their children coming home upset, depressed, crying."
J. Duke Albanese, state commissioner of education. has urged educrats to be more "sensitive" to military children. "Recently it has been brought to our attention that some school personnel ... may have been less than sensitive to children of military families regarding our continued strained relations with Iraq," he wrote in a letter sent Tuesday to all superintendents and principals in Maine's government schools. "In some cases, parents — who are about to be deployed — have observed added stress and anxiety among their children who perceive a staff member or their peers as being insensitive to their beliefs and the potential danger to loved ones."
And the Democrat teachers unions just can't understand why parents want school choice.
