agreed.
but what do you really expect from the grossly inadequate funding and oversight of the US educational system, especially under the feeble and rather stillborn NCLB? surely not quality in the classroom...
but i'm glad to see/hear your concern with public education! you undoubtedly support the candidate who shares your concerns and seeks to effect real change in such a problematic system...

I mean seriously, SERIOUSLY what kind of news is this ? And what is its relevance ?
It is not relevant to the campaign at present but relevant to future campaigns. Personally, I do not want my daughters to be fed this in school. It has to be neutral. So, the relevance concern who is molding young impressionable minds at the public schools. I have my two daughters in private school. That is my answer to situations like this. I suspect this is just one of many that happened across the states.
I've done substitue teaching and I can confirm this BS goes on.

My daughter doesn't get harassed about this anymore after I paid a visit to the school and had a little "prayer meeting" with the principle and teacher in question. She was badgered for mentioning Congressman Ron Paul. And the slurs she got for it was criminal. And I wasn't uncivil one bit about it, but I didn't let them just sweep it under the carpet either, and go back to business as usual. The thing that really torqued me, was the instructor in question had no credentials in American History or American Government, and had less knowledge than my sophmore daughter.

But ya know, everyone needs to a little humbling from time to time.

And you can send this teacher a nastygram in return if you wish.

The incident is not acceptable. However, the headline of the thread tries to make it appear as if Obama is responsible for this teacher's unacceptable behavior. I think this attempt itself also is not acceptable.

Campaigning is over. Stop the mud-throwing. It already has been maybe the most dirty campaign in america and germany I ever experienced.

Sounds to me like she'll be fired.


But I am curious about how does this equates to "the change we're looking for". The title implies it is Obama's fault this teacher is an idiot. He hasn't even taken office yet.

Not looking forward to the next four years of every idiot in the world blaming all their problems and every stupid comment made by a black person on Obama.

The headline of the thread tries to make it appear as if Obama is reponsible for this teacher's unacceptable behavior only if you interpret it that way. Your complaints are starting to become a dirty campaign of it's own.

Execute me together with Mothball then. We are comrades in conspiracy. And then quite some others, too.

We know who the conspirators are, as do you know who the conspirators are against you Execution is not the punishment, being forced to constantly read these things that you don't like are the punishment:p (In case you can't tell, this is all lighthearted joking on my part.)

If you didn't see the implication, or interpret it that way, then the publik edukashun system may have failed you as well.
