Whatever happened to "What's the capital of Peru?" and "What river forms the eastern border of Missouri"? That's geography. Talk about going off on a tangent....
|
|
Nope. High school geography teacher. |
|
|
No, high school. Even worse than being a university professor - the kids can't just walk out. |
|
|
High School. Your tax dollars at work. |
|
|
I hate how they always refer to the President as "Mr. Bush" rather than "President Bush". It irks me.
|
|
That's because some think he didn't win, twice. |

Gee, a socialist pansy teaching in the public schools?
I'm shocked. |

Indoctrination of our youth
Feb 22, 2006 by Walter E. Williams Let's start off with a few quotations, then a question. In reference to the president's State of the Union: "Sounds a lot like the things Adolf Hitler used to say." "Bush is threatening the whole planet." "[The] U.S. wants to keep the world divided." Then the speaker asks, "Who is probably the most violent nation on the planet?" and shouts "The United States!" What's the source of these statements? Were they made in the heat of a political campaign? Was it a yet-to-be captured leader of al Qaeda? Was it French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin? Any "yes" answer would miss the true source by a mile. All of those statements were made by Mr. Jay Bennish, a teacher at Overland High School in Aurora, Colo. During this class session, Mr. Bennish peppered his 10th-grade geography class with other statements like: The U.S. has engaged in "7,000 terrorist attacks against Cuba." In his discussion of capitalism, he told his students, "Capitalism is at odds with humanity, at odds with caring and compassion and at odds with human rights." Regardless of whether you're pro-Bush or anti-Bush, pro-American or anti-American, I'd like to know whether there's anyone who believes that the teacher's remarks were appropriate for any classroom setting, much less a high school geography class. It's clear the students aren't being taught geography. They're getting socialist lies and propaganda. According to one of the parents, on the first day of class, the teacher said Karl Marx's "Communist Manifesto" was going to be a part of the curriculum. This kind of indoctrination is by no means restricted to Overland High School. School teachers, at all grades, often use their classroom for environmental, anti-war, anti-capitalist and anti-parent propaganda. Some get their students to write letters to political figures condemning public policy the teacher doesn't like. Dr. Thomas Sowell's "Inside American Education" documents numerous ways teachers attack parental authority. Teachers have asked third-graders, "How many of you ever wanted to beat up your parents?" In a high school health class, students were asked, "How many of you hate your parents?" Public education propaganda is often a precursor for what youngsters might encounter in college. UCLA's Bruin Standard newspaper documents campus propaganda. Mary Corey, UCLA history professor, instructed her class, "Capitalism isn't a lie on purpose. It's just a lie," she continued, "[Capitalists] are swine. . . . They're bastard people." Professor Andrew Hewitt, chairman of UCLA's Department of Germanic Languages, told his class, "Bush is a moron, a simpleton, and an idiot." His opinion of the rest of us: "American consumerism is a very unique thing; I don't think anyone else lusts after money in such a greedy fashion." Rod Swanson, economics professor, told his class, "The United States of America, backed by facts, is the greediest and most selfish country in the world." Terri Anderson, a sociology professor, assigned her class to go out cross-dressed in a public setting for four hours. Photos or videotape were required as proof of having completed the assignment. The Bruin Alumni Association caused quite a stir when it offered to pay students for recordings of classroom proselytizing. The UCLA administration, wishing to conceal professorial misconduct, threatened legal action against the group. Some professors labeled the Bruin Alumni Association's actions as McCarthyism and attacks on academic freedom. These professors simply want a free hand to proselytize students. Brainwashing and proselytization is by no means unique to UCLA. Taxpayers ought to de-fund, and donors should cut off contributions to colleges where administrators condone or support academic dishonesty. At the K-12 schools, parents should show up at schools, PTAs and board of education meetings demanding that teachers teach reading, writing and arithmetic and leave indoctrination to parents. The most promising tool in the fight against teacher proselytization is the micro-technology available that can expose the academic misconduct. Since 1980, Dr. Williams has served on the faculty of George Mason University in Fairfax, VA as John M. Olin Distinguished Professor of Economics. |

He sounds like he's literally screaming throughout. Calm down, holy shit.
|

Turn the light on and these liberal scum bag indoctrinating POS run for cover.
More kids should carry recorders and the liberal agenda will be slowed. |
|
I used to do that all the time in highschool. Never got in trouble for it either. |
||
|
At least he got this right
|
|
|
Its going on almost across the street from where I live.....and the kids ARE walking out! LOL |
||
|
What a fucking loon! Communist POS.........sounds like Richard Dreyfus going off on Bush.
This is just another sign of how fucked up the educational system is. I didn't hear anything about Geography.....I bet most of the kids in that class couldn't point out where Bolivia is on a map. |
|
I dont think what he said is biased in any way , - but i work for CNN .
Seriously , this ass clown reminds me of several proff. i had in school , they were all commies , all hated Bush , and if you challenged them , they were the kind of bitches that would hold a grudge against you when grades were handed out ! |

My daughter is a junior in a very large high school, and occasionally I'll take a look at what she's reading and being taught. One time however, she volunteered to show me some handouts from her US Government teacher, knowing what my reaction would be.
She had a nice little package of reprinted ant-gun articles that were so incredibly biased as to be laughable. I told her that she should tell her teacher her father had found some factual errors in these reports, and would welcome the opportunity to discuss them with him. Unlike her father, my daughter is passive and non-confrontational when confronted with such BS, so of course she never told him. Boy, would I like a run at this guy. |
|
I feel bad for the kid asking the good questions. I am frustrated listening to it, much less having to set day in and day out listening to that douche bag. That teacher is a fucking nut
|
|
Welcome to the public school system! There are 'teachers' like this in lots of public schools in this country! Maybe in your childs school?
It's a real shame that people who are entrusted to teach factual information to Americas' children can get away with 'preaching' this type of politically retarded nonsensical drivel! I equate these communist asshats with a bully kicking a puppy. They have to hide in our schools and expound their bullshit to kids who don't know any better.....few adults would put up with this type of un-american prostelitizing! |
|
But not a dissenting voice among his peers. |
|
|
And they always refer to former president clinton as President Clinton, like he is still in office. Some of the talking heads on TV do this too. |
|
|
And this is in Colorado. The school has fired him though. It's all over Fox. Kids are walking out in protest. I'm going to stop now so this doesn't get locked.
|
|
Unfortunetly there is about 20 - 35 thousand more just like him. |
|
|
They are walking out cuz this ass got fired? Or they are walking out becuase this guy was an ass? it could use a little clarification. I;ve walked out on teachers back in the day(in high school) for doing similar shit and never got suspended for it or anything. |
|
|
I'd buy that part. Not cause I think he is paranoid, but that just makes sound geopolitical thinking on the part of a dominate nation. |
|
|
Was he really fired, or put on leave pending further investigation whether he violated school district policy? The Michelle Malkin link says he was put on leave. Doesn't mean he won't be back. ETA: nevermind, answered below. Thanks Gonzo.... |
|
|
Several clarifications from Colorado guys: 1. He's not fired. He's been suspended until 2. The kids walked out because he was a young popular "hip" teacher and has been using his position of authority to indoctrinate and brainwash them all for some time. 3. He has, of course For my part: Why the fuck can't teachers just teach the subjects. Math teachers teach math, history history, current events should be the only class that has this stuff going on, and it needs to be balanced. |
||
|
Some of both but mostly protesting his firing. Eariler they interviewed the kid who had the recording (he records all his classes) and he said only a few students understood the politics. OK, just on admin leave. Thanks for the clarification. |

Unbelievable. I listened to the whole tape, this guy is a 100% genuine Democratic Underground moonbat, spewing every line and jot of the liberal mantra. Wow, they don't even hide their lies and propaganda anymore.
|
|
Over at DUh, they've got moonbats trying to get the kid prosecuted for recording the lecture without consent.
Stupid shits, though, 'cause Colorado is a single party consent state. Oh, and there are no expectations to privacy in a mass lecture. Moonbats are dumb. |
|
Fuckin' loon.
He's a geography teacher? I have an idea - math teaches math, geography teaches geography, etc. Let's stick to the task assigned you, shall we? Teachers should not be indoctinating children in any way. Kids get facts - when you go to college, then you can discuss ideas.
I know I will get flamed for this, but he is right, about that anyway. |
|
|
No..look at the video, high school kids would walk out of school for Ronald McDonald..they don't care, it's just a reason to get out of class. This guy is spewing the liberal mantra, word for word. |

|
Ward Churchill is another CO goof ball...
www.pirateballerina.com has all the details abou this nut. And he has been up for review for over one year. I don't think they will ever get rid of him and he is 50 time more vile than this teacher. |
|

|
|
Yesirr..that pic explains a lot. Libtard hippy. |
|
|
Looks like his mother drank while he was in the womb. |
||
|
Too bad no one with 1/2 a brain was there. I could answer most of his pathetic questions.
in the words of the immortal bugs bunny "naaah... whatta moreen!" |
|
Listening to the recording on the local talk show right now.
Just your tax dollars at work, folks. |
|
Wow - what a total tard.
Too bad its not a college course - you could go to the deans office and transfer/get your money back. Hope this teacher gets fired. There is no teaching here - just ranting. |

Once someone is President of the United States, it is appropriate to call them "President" even when they are out of office. |
||
|
this retard is probably going to win a teacher of the year award for his "courage" to say that crap
|

Even a blind hog gets an acorn once in a while. |
