Sorry if I offended you. As a social studies teacher, the swearing in of a President and the process of succession is taught. I am a registered Republican and voted for Bush twice. However, you will find that most schools in America watched the 1/2 hour tv coverage. I would never refuse to show this or reveal my own political views to my students. And trust me, it has been a difficult time in our state. Don’t assume all New Yorkers are liberal.
Hang in there. You have a hard job.
Keep up the good fight! God bless you.
You needn’t feel compelled to answer the churlish insults of such a boor, although it speaks well of you that you were able to do so with much more civility than I would’ve mustered.

Fair enough.
But I think the problem that most of us have is the double standard cloaked in the “history” disguise.
Do you think that most schools watched the 2001 and 2005 inaugurations? Did yours?

I want to ask you some questions. First, how long have you been teaching? Two, how long has the public schools been using television as a teaching tool. I was enrolled in the public school system from 1963 to 1976. I went to schools in Maryland - Temple Hills, Blandensburg, and Cottage City - and in Staunton, Va. I do not recall any time the teacher brought in a television - not for any inaugeral - Johnson and Nixon - neither of the Kennedy shootings, the shooting of MLK, Jr., the moon landings, etc. When did this become a part of the school curriculum?
