I've seen teachers like this. They sell themselves as the most reasonable person the children have ever met. Then they push their agenda. "I don't care what you believe, just make sure you can defend it." Most kids think, wow, what a cool dude. This guy is very open and HONEST. If he thinks the president is a putz, he may be.
If Treece is challenged he simply says, "Hey, I'm just teaching kids to think for themselves." I would disagree. He is destroying their beliefs system in order to instill his own. Can his ass.
You don't have to display things like Treece does, to be effective in the classroom."
How about slick willy, or FDR? Should teachers be quiet about their antics to satisfy the wishes of their leftist parents? There's still folks with family loyalties to the rat party, that date back to FDR. They don't think before they vote, they just vote in accord with family tradition.
