The syllabus explains this is a political-geography class.

There never was a complaint to the school or the school board.

Seaver...did you read the OP? Did you read the articles or listen to the recording? Did you read the transcript? All you've done in this thread is strawman.
The parents who complained are obviously more whitless Bush slaves who are an enemies of free thought. "What?! Critical thinking in MY childs school? He's saying Bush isn't the son of God? Something must be done about this!!! They are threatening my values (even thought I don't have any values)!!! I will threaten the district administrators, and they will quickly and easily bow to my will!!!!"
This was an attempt by a good teacher to raise the level of discourse in his classroom, an attempt to actually follow the rule that he is now accoused of breaking. The fact that all these parents are outraged PROVES that these kids get plenty of republican propoganda at home. Let them sample liberal propoganda at school in order to regain some sense of reality.
