We had a home football game so a lot of the kids were there.
I was so proud of my granddaughter today. She’s 15 and in 9th grade, her economics teacher was going on lovingly about Obama today in class and then asked her who she would vote for if she could vote. She told him McCain.
He actually told her he was surprised and a little disappointed and wanted to know why she would vote that way.
She started with abortion and how sinful that was and then went on. She even had talking points that I hadn’t talked about with her, it is suprising how engaged she is. The teacher actually said that he was proud of her knowledge but now she doesn’t like him at all.
I would like to kick him in the butt because this should never have come up and she should never have been singled out but I’m proud that she wasn’t cowed and spoke her piece, even knowing that most of her classmates are in love with 0.
Good for your daughter and I agree with you about the teacher!
“I would like to kick him in the butt because this should never have come up...”
No kidding. When I went back to school after I retired, I found myself in a class with a lefty professor who attempted to brainwash the kids with his, “erudite” ahemmmm, speechafyin’.
That didn’t last long. Every class needs to have a retiree in it to confront these people.
Do complain after the school year ends. The teacher was inappropriate in discussing his political views and in putting your daughter on the spot by doing so.
She has guts. Good for her.
That teacher is an idiot!
Good for your granddaughter!
