DITTO!
Why dont we (the internet) have it by now?
FOIA doncha know.Is it because no one has brought "official" charges yet? I am not advocating witch hunts, but if this is actually happening in Maine,I dont see how civilian school districts can claim "classified secrets" info status regarding the alledged actions of public school teachers.
Is this a prime example of the power of "unions", or is this pure sensational media hype? Enquiring minds want to know...
Flap over war criticism in schools ends swiftly
By TESS NACELEWICZ, Portland Press Herald Writer
EXCERPT:
Rogers said the complaints were gathered by Maj. Andrew Gibson, a Guard chaplain, at meetings where relatives of deployed soldiers get information and support. Rogers said Gibson did not investigate the complaints but "feels very strongly that they are correct."
In addition to the complaints about the classroom debate and a child being mocked on the bus, the Guard has described these three other complaints:
A soldier at the Bangor meeting said that when he took his children from school early to say goodbye, he was told it would be an unexcused absence.
Another soldier reported that when he asked a school guidance counselor to watch for changes in his child's demeanor or behavior, the counselor said, "You're in the Army, aren't you? Your child should be able to deal with it."
Another parent said that when she told the school principal that her child had been teased by other children who said her father could be killed in the war, she was told there was nothing school officials could do because the other children were right and what the child's father was doing was wrong.
