hang the president?

My american history teacher is a very strong democrat. She lets us know why she believes it and allows us to tell her why we don't think the same way as her, and if she has facts to shoot us down with, she does, but if not, she leaves it alone... She's not a propagandist, more like a teacher letting us know what the hell we have to deal with to get to the facts anymore, and where to find the information you can believe.

If she ever got fired for that I would protest...

Here's a local story of incredibly bad judgement:

JACKSONVILLE, FL -- Susan Bennett is a concerned mother who says what her daughter is learning at Paxon High School is unacceptable.

The controversial film, Fahrenheit 911, was recently shown to students in Brittany Bennett’s TV production class. Her mother says it has no business being in class because it is an R-rated film and parents were never given parental permission slips for the viewing.

Paxon's Assistant Principal, Debra Lynch, says teacher Frank Goodin chose the movie based on film structure and not political stance.

"A point he's trying to make is how to take a story line and support it with film making," Lynch said. "He did not think of it the political repercussions."

Parents like Bennett say the film is propaganda, not good learning material. "The film is not proven, it's garbage. Nothing different than a scandal magazine."

School Administrators say they were not aware the film was part of the supplemental curriculum and it does violate the school board manual.

The manuals states, "Teacher needs to obtain parental permission on any viewing materials which bear ratings other than G."

Fahrenheit 911 is no longer part of the curriculum in the production class at Paxon High, unless the teacher is able to get permission from all parents in the class.

Granted, he was trying to make a point about a particular type of movie-making, but good god, on top of all the other ways he blew it, he just didn't use common sense. Of all the times, and of all the films to choose...sheesh.

that's why the democrats are out there pushing voter registration. the uninformed fall for their bullshit and those that care enough to find out are already registered.

if your in favor of partial birth abortion

beleive saddam was mis-understood

think we're spending far too much on defense

think that going against the direct orders of ones own archbishop still makes one a catholic

think that god has no place in this country

belive marriage should change with the tides of popularity

then vote for curry (munster & tripper 2004)


kerry says he believes many things but we have to remember he also says that he doesn't let his personal beliefs get in the way of what he does. which is why he always votes in favor of any abortion bill that comes up even though he says he's personally opposed to abortion.

when i vote for a person it's because i think that person most represents me. not me today, someone else tomorrow and someone else the day after that.

My history is planning on letting us watch American History X later on this year... We WILL of course have parental permission slips... But yeah watching movies that are not "appropriate" in history classes isn't new... Off topic: Has anyone here seen American History X? I hear from a few friends that it is VERY good... Definitly not something you would want to believe as it is a story basically from a neo nazi's side but is definitly a good watch...
