I had a POS teacher in H.S.  He taught Texas History (required course  ).  He spent the entire semester bashing Texas and its entire history...telling us how Texas was stolen from Mexico, etc., etc..  Can you guess his ethnic background?    It took complaints from the entire class and 90% of their parents the entire semester to get any action from the school administration.  By then it was too late, but he reportedly was no longer allowed to teach that particular class afterward.  Sorry son-of-a-

She sounds like a typical libtard, I wouldnt' waste time writing her (the teacher) as she'd just peg you for a rethug.  I'd write to the principal and end it with an " I appreciate a response to this matter at your earliest convenience".

I like the letter Undies wrote. Seriously. Use that as a guide.

Academic Freedom Code For K-12 Schools

(A Code of Ethics and Professional Responsibility for Educators in K-12 Public Schools)

Whereas the purpose of public education in America is to produce knowledgeable and competent adults able to participate as informed citizens in the democratic process;

Whereas this purpose is best served by offering students a curriculum that is non-partisan and non-sectarian;

Whereas it has been established through testimony at legislative hearings that many teachers in K-12 classrooms are abusing taxpayer resources and abusing their ability to speak to captive audiences of students in an attempt to indoctrinate or influence children to adopt specific political and ideological positions on issues of social and political controversy;

Whereas public school teachers are public employees who have been hired for the purpose of teaching their subjects and not for the purpose of using their classrooms as a platform for political, religious, anti-religious, or ideological advocacy;

I think I'd print copies of the Academic Freedom Code for K-12 Schools and send to this teacher, the principal and superintendent, and post them in the hallways of the school where permitted...especially the hallways on either side of this teacher's classroom, if possible.

If she's 15 years old, I'd personally... consider it a good lesson on maintaining independent thought, not becoming a sheep, and that there is adversity and challenges with people in life.  Perhaps mentioning it to the principal and teacher, that you felt it was quite inappropriate example to be using. 

Many school boards and educators do consider indoctrination into thought processes part of their jobs, regardless of our personal beliefs on the sanctity of education.  So I wouldn't expect it to go too far beyond a 'verbal suggestion/warning' to avoid such things in the future.

If your son hasn't found anything similar with his college studies, just wait, it'll happen! 

Well he is going to an "art" school so he doesn't take many classes where it is brought up much.  I'm positive that 99.9% of his professors are liberal and it has been talked about but he is a very independent thinker.  He usually goes against the grain of his school peers and his teachers.  Also, he probably wouldn't say anything to me because he knows I would never shut up about it.

Thanks for the info MrsSmith.  I'm going to include that in my letter.  I've already started it.

With this being an ongoing problem, these organizations are a great help.  FIRE might be a good resource, also, but seem to be mostly involved with colleges.

Someone write the letter for me.   

Write the letter for you??? 

What are you some Democrat? 

Man up BEG!
