Oakland, Calif. - NBC’s Today Show, March 28th, Katie Couric interviewed grade school teacher, Elena Aguila(r?), who had taken 40 students to the streets carrying pictures putting faces on civilians and the children of Iraq. Aguila(r?)’s 7th and 8th class had been exchanging emails with children in Iraq.

"Bush said no one supported Saddam,” said one student, “and the letters say they do”. I was really surprised.”

“Schools are about to be empty. Our eyes never sleep. Why should war break our peace? It is not their oil,” she reads from an email from an Iraqi student. Another student said he worries about the students he has not heard from recently comparing them to a person that has been kidnapped with no word if they are safe.

Couric responded many may feel Aguila(r?)’s protesting students are pawns for anti-war protesting adults. The student responds: “We have a mind of our own! Some students did refuse to march. We signed papers and were interviewed. I got interviewed a lot!”

Aguila(r?) was surprised at the coverage her students have received adding, “It’s amazing the power young people have!”

THIS TEACHER SHOULD BE FIRED FROM HER JOB AND PUT ON A "BLACKLIST"!

I may be even less sensitive than you; if my kid were in that class, that teacher would be in need of some dental work. Male or female! There's no excuse for trying to brainwash kids. NO excuse!

>>"Does she even know what a fact is?"


Pontius Pilot asked Jesus, "What Is Truth?". Jesus remained silent. The question had already been answered.

Not all of our kids are a-holes. My sixteen year old daughter regularly takes on her liberal teachers and wins. My daughter is informed, VERY smart, doesn't get emotional, and makes her teacher(s) stick to the facts. If it is something she is not sure of she comes home and finds out then goes back and "revisits" the issue. Since she is well liked by the other students, I have hope that she is reaching them as well.

I can imagine it is pretty easy to say you love Saddam with an AK-47 pointed at your head...

Just what I was thinking.
