Is that really what this is about?

You would be OK with it if it was in History class? You REALLY don't like teachers to be able to explore tangents?

And if you want to get technical, geography deals with nations, their make-up and their borders. He covered quite a bit of that, as well.

I think it would be more appropriate in history class, maybe senior comp and/or speech and debate, yes.

But POLITICAL opinion needs to stay out of most classrooms. Perhaps that's the word I'm missing to make you understand my standing in this. POLITICS. That's my responsibility.

And let's look at it like this: I'm a liberal business owner. My son shadows one of my conservative engineers for a day (for school). That engineer spends half the day discussing his conservative views and watching Fox news - trying to win my also liberal son over. Not only was he not teaching my son what an engineers day is like (like geography above - which there is very little of) - he spent half the day doing something that I was not paying him to do. Public school teachers are my employees - my taxes pay their salary. I see it as the same thing.

And if you switch it around and make the engineer also liberal - if he spent half the day discussing these views with my son instead of working - wouldn't I still be as upset?
