this textbook isnt like a permanent one, its just one my SS teacher had us read for one period studying politics (although he said two years ago his students had this textbook) I dont recall the publisher, ill ask the teacher about the book, but i think the title was something like Understanding Politics For Kids or Understanding Politics or something like that. ill try to find out about it.
also today i was saying why i support Bush, and the teacher cut me short saying my reasons were not good enough... i said something like "i support Bush because he is improving the economy through his leadership, which falls under D.E.E. (delayed economic effect, which is a pretty new term) which basically means that almost all of the presidents actions on the economy wont really have effect for about two to four years. thats why at the beginning of his term the economy was dropping, because of Clintons actions. I also support him because I like that he is striking back against the terrorists who caused September 11." The teacher just said "those reasons aren't good enough" and called on someone else.
i think that might fall under being biased.

there is also one more thing that is interesting. our school district, CHCCS (Chapel Hill-Carrboro County Schools) has proposed and might accept a merger with Orange County Schools. The reason i am against this is because our town and school district is very rich, meanwhile Orange County is just average. They are trying to use us to get money, since the merger says that the school districts will share the money, which means that Orange County Schools will get more of Chapel Hill Schools money. this will result in us getting taxed higher (our taxes are already crazily high) to pay for a school district that we have no representation or association with whatsoever. and because i live in a nearly 95% liberal town there is very little my parents can do to fight against this.
