Teacher on leave after alleged anti-Bush words Students stage walk-out to show support for Colorado high school teacher (you can also listen to his comments) Is ok for teachers to discuss political beliefs in classroom? Or their comments were inappropriate??? |
Re: Teacher on leave after alleged anti-Bush words
In public schools NO. I don't view preaching a political view to a captive audience from a position of authority as a balanced exchange of ideas.

:rolleyes: Why NOT in public schools??? I think students in High school (specially) must debate political issues...and the teachers can start these debates...of course im not saying dictating their points of views in class...but this is democracy...isnt it? However I think the boy's atitude wasnt correct, using a subterfuge to show his discomfort in hearing his teachers views... And btw its toooo hard for a History teacher to not shows his/her points of views in politics in class...too hard...believe me..:D |

Re: Teacher on leave after alleged anti-Bush words
Also I think its better to bring recent events in History to debate in class instead of forming political illiterates...

Do you think that History only refers to the past? |

Our tax dollars don't go to teachers who want to indoctrinate children.

Hitler killed millions of innocent Jews by having them incinerated and shot to death. Bush hasn't done that. Therefore, he is lying and not telling the truth. |

Are you implying history refers to future events? Maybe I've been taught wrong all these years... sure future events will become history, but that doesn't make them history to begin with. When I was in highschool two of my history teachers were stanch liberals. They often discussed their political views, but not during classtime. When it came time to discuss current events, they kept their personal viewpoints out of the way of the discussion. That's what a teacher is supposed to do. A teacher of history is not supposed to give his/her personal viewpoints. They are supposed to encourage personal and individual thought and teach an unbiased lesson. |

He is partially responsible for the fact that dead people floated in the water in New Orleans for almost two weeks before anyone had the thought to retreive the bodies. And all that time Bush said no one could have know the levee's would be breached. Turns out he knew more than anyone thought. One of the most important sea ports in this country and there had been no improvements to the levee's since the 1960's |
