Honest question.

Is Ward Churchill an anti American?

Bill Ayers?

I'm sure your English prof at a state school was an "Anti-America Activist."

Anyway, your choice of topic hardly seemed like a smart idea. Did you write a paper on the merits of slavery for your black English prof, too?

You don't like the prof, drop the course. Simple.

I can give you plenty of examples, some happened to me.

A math class taught by an Iranian assistant prof - running down our country in the worst way, calling us

satans... when I stood up and said that was offensive and I objected, she said I just

flunked our midterm, which we hadn't had yet.

Well, with plenty of witnesses, the whole class was behind me, she ended up walking out, and

was gone, never to be in charge of our class again.

Argumentation class - I was a speech major/English minor before I left and joined the Air Force, got a D- on an outstanding

paper - the Dean evaled it without the grade, and gave it at least a B+, even if he were trying to be an (*(*&^..

The offending "prof" was an anti-war, anti-America activist. I wrote a defense of our military folks, and our country,not

of the Vietnam War. When I met him at his office, he rambled on about me being an affront to his subculture, and his

grade did ignore the merits of my paper, but he felt he needed to make a statement against America, and would not change

his grade.

Of course, this was at Kent State eh... many, many years ago. I don't imagine you were there.

But please, tell me a lot of crap about May 4th. I was there that day.

And I still hear about students having this same kind of problem.

jackass yourself.

Or, you were obviously? always a flaming liberal, and you had no problem at all.

I think the latter, and you don't have a clue about what I said and how often it happens...

No, jackass, we discussed Chemistry in Chemistry class and Psych in Psych class. Not politics.

If you take a f-ing politics class, expect political discussion.

Thanks Diehard, I think the last time a nations youth were endoctrinated to this type of behavior was in this video.

Damn all of that "liberal hate verbage" I encountered in my Psych, Chem, Bio, Physics, Art History, Lit, Calculus, Marketing, Advertising, Finance and Accounting coursework. It was almost enough to make me wanna drop out!

I wish I was encountering some liberal hate verbage in my organic chemistry class right about now. 🥷 <-"ph34r" is what comes up for this emoticon - anybody know what that means?

That may be the funniest/most paranoid thing I have read in a long, long while.

to group idolize people.

But in a public school setting, that is atrocious. Parents KNOW when their kids are in "Jesus Camp".

But parents HAVE to send their kids to public schools by law, unless they are home schooled or go to a

charter school.

The NEA and all the state orgs of the teachers unions across the country, are sold out to the Dem party.

And, liberals are all too often walked through the doors of college classes with approval, while conservatives

have to parrot the all too common liberal hate verbage, or their grades suffer, and they are weeded out if at

all possible.

Been there myself, though that was a long time ago now...

but there are plenty of that still happening.

No workee, eh, Cal. Give me a break. I guess the Religious Right sees only what it wants to see as well. Anyone who worships or deifies a politician is an idiot.

And this will make you puke!

a "Hail to Bush" song...

No "Bush gonna save us" lyrics...

Nope. Always the kneejerk attempts at moral equivalency.

No workee.

This year's inauguration was quite literally a first and to NOT teach students about why it's so important on so many levels would make little sense.

All that being said, I am disturbed by the notion of pledging allegiance to ANY president's image. Besides the obvious Orwellian overtones of Big Brother watching over the little ones, it's just un-American to celebrate the man over the country, especially during something that's ostensibly about pledging allegiance to the flag that represents the best of the country. Our country is about unity based in common cause, "E Pluribus Unum" and all that, not celebrating personality over substance. Ironically, I think Obama would be the first to agree with me on that and say that this type of thing is inappropriate.

In a separate but related point, I also am opposed to the pledge itself, for its similarly creepy Orwellian tones, but that's another thread for another day...

You make some good points, teachers should not be so fanatical that they impose there fandom upon children. Obama is only a man just as Bush (W) is.
