After hearing what was on the wall of Treece's classroom I believe that he is teaching the students to be adversaries of our government and not to be good citizens. Pictures speak louder than words.

Yes, but you don't know how many pictures of what type were up on that wall. There could have been 20 pictures supporting the USA's current foreign policy, and 3 opposing it. If the pictures are of those 3 only, then a false picture is being painted.

Yup. We have no idea about this, actually. We read about a couple of these student projects only. Presumably others were posted as well. What do you want to bet that Mott took pictures of only the ones that personally offended him?

As usual, we have part of a story, not the whole story. Odds are we won't know the whole story, since it's such a local thing.

Sounds like a teacher who teaches that defying authority is not necessarily a bad thing, but that one has to be able to support one's defiance. He's probably on the liberal side, but that teaching is the same as led us to our Declaration of Independence, which was quite a defiance of authority, if my history is right.

I'll bet there were a bunch of student projects that depicted the opposing view. I'd be amazed if there weren't.

Don't be silly. We have only heard of anti-US, anti-Bush, pro-Fidel and Che posters on the wall, nothing else.

To guess out of the clear blue at anyhing else only makes you sound foolish.

If you believe that after having read about that teacher's political beliefs than you are very gullible.
