I have never thought it was a teacher's duty to comment on the parent child relationship. Treece's admission that he tries to get kids to evaluate what their parent say bothers me.
If the child is supposed to evaluate what their parents say, then it stands to reason they are to listen when they want and do whatever they please the rest of the time. Nice work Treece.
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.
As for the officer who took the pictures, I do believe he crossed the line. One the other hand we'd have never been given access to the despicable carp on Treece's classroom walls if the officer hadn't done what he did. It's a screwed up system that creates a situation where a person has to use subtrifuge simply to investigate what really goes on inside a child's classroom.
The principle is a good example of why our schools are so screwed up. Is she concerned with the obvious bias of the teacher? Nope, she couldn't care less. What bothers her is that her sacred cow has been gored. "You can't get away with that on MY campus!" She should follow Treece's lead to the unemployment line.

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.
