Well, I don't think he should have been suspended either. The worst that should have happened was that they should have looked over his lesson plan to make sure the kids were being taught geography and maybe reprimanded him.

And no - at 15 he won't listen to me about much at all. I've laid my foundation - and at that age, I just have to watch all the earthquakes and hope I'm a good enough engineer to have him still standing in the end. Which is all the more reason I wouldn't want a teacher causing a freakin' earthquake. There's enough going on at that age.

About waiting until some distant age, where kids suddenly know all of these background facts, so they can cross-reference them against what their teacher is arguing: that age doesnt necessarily EVER arrive. I will lay my money on the line and say that most adults wouldnt qualify, by those standards....but that doesnt excuse them from the daily decisions they make, which are supposed to be based on these precepts. Certain relatives of mine, thought that Al-Qaeda was some country in the middle east, but that didnt disqualify them from voting in the last election.

Anyway, as Twan said, 15 and 16 year olds arent much more or less susceptible to propaganda, than 35 and 36 year olds. People feel so sorry that this fragile kid had to endure such scholastic brain-washing, but it obviously didnt sway him. I think that is more of an argument that kids with involved parents (even if they are right-wingers) arent likely to have their homegrown philosophies overridden, by the ideology of some rogue teacher.
