Not all stories have 'balance', so that requirement of the teaching having balance from the spokeswoman is really unreasonable (read: ABSURD). How many times has a HS teacher taught both sides of the story on Hitler and the final solution? There are two sides, but one side is Nazi propoganda that teaches that there was no holocaust and that the Jews are evil and unworthy of life, and has no place in schools. This is the same thing. "harsh words about capitalism, U.S. foreign policy and the invasion of Iraq" are truths, and therefore the children should be exposed to them. All they get all day on the idiot media channels is the "other side" of the argument. This teacher is trying to teach, so let him teach.
Shame on a system that forces teachers to filter the truth from students. This is why Bush was elected in the first place.
