How do these teachers get hired, where do these people find the time for this kind of nonsense? It’s like a slew of stories of this kind of thing lately, if it was my kid a lawsuit would be getting ready to roll ASAP.
One of the main reason I am doing the private school thing. It’s money that will be well spent.
To me this sounds like more conservative scare tactics:
“Remember kids the scary bad terrorists are out there so it’s important that you have a gun with you at all times…encourage your parents to buy a gun.”
We need more liberals in the schools. Especially in the south where this happened. This would have never happened in an enlightened classroom.
However do you really want an “Absurd use of realism”? Then check this out:

It’s of the stoning death of a teenage girl in Iraq. Outragious. It looked like hundreds of men were there and took part…no one lifted a finger to help.
Watch this video while at the same time remind yourself that these are the people that Americans are fighting and dying for.
You know, if we turned this whole region into glass, in the long run less people would die because they would no longer be able to continually breed generation after generation of murderers…
I wouldn’t want my kid to go through it but I’d like to see whatever data they collected from “attack”.

Are you from the south or know anything about it?
Yes, i would like to see it too…I’d bet we could guess though.
Boulder talks out his a$$ Rogue, ya know that. The guy wears clownshoes his ibred mommy made for him.

Perfect example, most teachers are liberal, and its a reason that education is so jinxed as it is. It get’s worse once in college, the last manor for aging hippies with a lost world view.

Prob a bunch of scared kids crying. It’s not like it was a experiment directed by people who knew what they were doing. It was a bunch of inapt goofs who thought they were doing a service.

He’s showing you exactly why we in the blue coller areas of Denver call it “The People’s Republic of Boulder.” No tolerance what so ever unless it is needed to justify thier own very odd opinions…:rolleyes:

All liberalism is, is a movement towards tolerance and free-thinking. It’s a way of thinking that promotes the idea that people should live as they see fit (as long as it doesn’t harm other people) rather than living as I see fit. I would hope that teachers and professors would in fact instill the idea people should have open minds and broad perspectives, rather than trying to instill strict boundaries on what is and is not okay based on personal biases and/or religious dogma.

When was the last time we had a mass shooting in the South? Lemme see…60’s in Austin. Terrell TX, sure, but the gunman was shot at by both cops and civilians. Matter of fact one civilian was credited for shooting at the assailant and taking fire saving some people trying to get out.
When was the last time we had shootings in Liberal states…hmmm. CA where there is restricted gun ownership. There have been a few. There are quite a few on a daily basis in SoCal. VA…yep. Boston…yep. HI…yep. Various shooting and roberries in NJ. Again state with restricted gun use. Cause only criminals have guns. Reason being cause they don’t follow gun laws. Gun laws only subjegate law abiding citizens.
With regards to terrorist and being armed. You ever go to Israel. The teachers carrry guns over there to PROTECT the school kids from terrorist attacks. No school shootings there is there?
Because of the Democratic socialism which is forced to our kids by the liberal concept of big government, our schools are filled with horrible teachers using there public funded desk as a personal soapbox to express there own world views on global unity, political correctness to a insane degree, nutty enviromental scare tactics, pro-gay indoctrination, views on the military, the feminization of young boys, often a lot of this being without ANY parent consent.
It’s social engineering being carried out under the banners of social justice and humanitarianism, backed by cool buzzwords, but its all still socialism and its the the cause of the decline. If you want to know where a lot of this started do some research on John Dewey and Norman Thomas.
Back in the day a student could slug it out with another and just get a detention, you could play dodgeball, pranks were a part of life, now you get a swat team called in and a kid gets put on a dose of Ritalin so the school can get a extra bonus as they now have another person with a learning disability.
Now you got schools filled with violence, unwanted pregnancy, failing test scores…liberalism is failing in schools.
But back on topic, I don’t think this has anything to do with one political side, it has to do with a bunch of dumb$$ teachers who stepped over the line.
Again, if you can afford it go with a private school, that and try and push for educational vouchers, another thing a certain sector does not want the public to have access to.
Liberal does not equal “enlightened.”
Conservative does not equal “ignorant.”

This is true, but…
Liberalism does pursue change, whereas conservatism does tend to try to keep thinking stagnant. Consider that the world is a changing place and societies that do not evolve in their perspective become backward and left behind. Look what happened to China and Japan when they closed themselves off from the “evils” of the Western world - now they are playing catch up.
That said, too much liberal thinking is counterproductive since not everything needs to change all the time. A good balance between conservative and liberal thinking is better than one dominating the other. People who cannot accept this tend to be afraid of having their world views (paradigms) challenged because, gasp they might have to alter them. I’m a pretty liberal guy in general, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t be schooled by a well-constructed conservative argument.
Conservitive thinking has not made the United States a utopia, nor has liberal. Together, however, the two have gotten us as close as anyone else in history. It’s too bad that one side always had to demand all the credit.
The conservatives make their points through fear:
“The terrorists/illegal aliens/whoever want to break into your home and kill you.”
“The labor unions will cause your company to shut down so you don’t have a job.”
“The schools will not allow religion but instead teach little Johnny how to worship the devil.”
The liberals make their points through education and respect:
“Let’s learn about people from different cultures and see if we have any common ground.”
“Let’s encourage a good relationship between labor unions and corporate America for a better working environment for all.”
“Let our schools teach the ABCs and leave the religious training to the parents.”
In any case this kind of comments is something I’ve heard in the past:
“Boulder talks out his a$$ … The guy wears clownshoes his ibred mommy made for him.”
That’s no big deal. Believe me I’ve heard a lot worse in the past…
From The People’s Republic. The best place in the US to live in.
“The terrorists/illegal aliens/whoever want to break into your home and kill you.”
It’s happened.
“The labor unions will cause your company to shut down so you don’t have a job.”
That along with idiot executives trying to bolster their stock’s price instead of producing the best products possible. And Unions have caused some companies to close factories because of labor costs.
“The schools will not allow religion but instead teach little Johnny how to worship the devil.”
Not so much teach but to tolerate.
The liberals make their points through education and respect:
“Let’s learn about people from different cultures and see if we have any common ground.”
Yes, Al Qeda and Michael Moore both hate the US.
“Let’s encourage a good relationship between labor unions and corporate America for a better working environment for all.”
Perish the thought of looking at Toyota as a good example.
“Let our schools teach the ABCs and leave the religious training to the parents.”
That would be great, but instead my kids get saddled with having to watch movies by Al Gore.
I am sure you have heard worse Boulder, anyone..excuse me any nut, who says that our soliders deserve what they get in Iraq, deserves far, far, far more.
I think the schools should spend more time teaching the ABC’s, and Math too, instead of using that subject time to brain wash thier personal philosophies into the students.
Math class is for learning MATH!! NOT engaging in social engineering experiments!! :mad:
I am a liberal guy ( albeit moderately liberal) and I had a math professor in college who would always push really liberal views. You can find the opposite too. Kenneth Starr is the Dean of some law school in California. As open minded as people claim to be, a lot of them really are not.
The most non-baised teacher I have ever had was an elected politician as well. He would give you the complete persuasive arguement from the liberal side and turn around and give you the same from the conservative point of view. He truely was unique.

About 10 years ago I did some substitute teaching. One of the classes I taught was advanced placement in math at middle school level. I go in there finally thinking I might be able to explain a concept without dumbing it down. However I start teaching and soon realize I’m getting a lot of blank stares. I had to revert back to the 3rd grade concepts to be understood.
Later I found out that “Advanced placement” was just another word for “Social placement”. If you were white and rich with the right connections you got put into the advanced classes. Oh yeah, there were a few bright kids in the class who earned it but you could not teach them because more than half the class would simply be lost!
