Here's the diatribe:

I think the kid is an arse.
In high school, there were always kids who hated how parents/teachers/adults 'didn't understand them', blah, blah, blah.
I boiled that down to their feeling of the fact that of those 3, none of them made an effort to treat them as equals in their minds or made no effort to bridge the gap.
Here was a teacher who did just that, sponsored good sound debate and connected with his students - and this d-bag finally has his cake and is eating it, and decides it tastes bad for everyone else.
I don't know if any of the above made sense, because it's alot of text and I refuse to read it over, so if you made it this far... I wish I had a cookie I could give you.

Not to mention, he recorded a very small portion of the class. But, don't we see this at all levels? Anyone who speaks out against Bush is labelled an un-American traitor. Someone who even throws it out there that Bush is not a good president as a debate point gets it. Sounds like Stalin to me. After saying that, I will now be arrested by the NSA for being unpatriotic.

fuck that piece of shit
free speech isn't for those that pay to educate themselves apparently. I'll wait for him to turn 18 so I can express myself properly.
I think the kid is an instigating coward

Regardless of whether I agree with him or not, he is wrong to state that a British Prime Minister was assassinated by Zionists in Palestine and nor can he state absolutely that capitalism is an entirely unsuitable social paradigm (unbridled capitalism, sure - but look at other capitalist democracies - Sweden, for example).
Whilst I don't know the full backstory (- was this an unprovoked rant, or an answer to a question?) I'm not sure that it is right for - an admittedly passionate and clearly intelligent - 28 year old geography teacher to use the classroom to convey his clearly political BELIEFS. As stated in the report - it is not a balanced forum with a weighted opposition. If I was a right-leaning parent, I'd be concerned if my kid had to listen to that...
But yeah, the kid's a snitch.

one of you any of you look back on your education and up bringing and tell me one story of any educator you ever had that DIDN'T bring his personal opinion with him through the classroom door.
what was he doing with an mp3 player in class anyway? is that part of the required materials? in my middle & highschool such things were banned as they distracted us from paying attention.
jevad, you're in denvcer right? i'm gonna camp out at your place so I can "confront" this kid and "ask" what he's thinking

I had this fat bastard teacher called Mr Perez who started each morning, during Gulf War I, telling us that the Moroccans (just across the water from Gibraltar) would rise up, united with the rest of the arab world if Israel responded to Saddam's scud tickles.
As a politically naive teenager, I can tell you that had the shits put up me, and all for naught and I've never quite forgiven him.
bastard.

my old english teacher was an ex hells angel who had to grow a beard to hide the scars he inflicted on his chin after a bike accident. first lesson, he reads this poem...
They fuck you up, your mum and dad,
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had,
And add some extra, just for you.But they were fucked-up in their turn,
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern,
And half at one another's throats.Man hands on misery to man,
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.
Yes, your parents, they'd once fucked,
And you're their sorry lot.
So if you must have sex,
Then please tie it in a knot.If you must sow your oats all day,
Just think of your old mum and dad.
And then use a condom, eh?
You don't want the brat they had.Ah yes, to be a new mother or father,
Means feed that damn fucker, and play a bit.
And yes, that's the last thing that you'd call fun, eh?
- A nappy full of messy yellow shit....and yeah, the kid is a snitch.

I heard the tape(s) a couple days ago. The Teacher sounded crazy. He was a Geography teacher right? He'd make a better foreign policy or politics teacher.

1st amendment! um...unless it's something against the president right!
freedom of speech my ass...that kid is a fucking loser
- madirish0
that is such shit i cannot believe it. the fact is, none of this would be a news item if it were not for criticism against a conservative president in a public system.
i also love the fact that people make out the fact that Geography has nothing to do with social, political, or religious items. The topic matter was perfect given the very nature of the curriculum.
That 'student' (and more importantly those who are parading him) are definitly fucking loosers.

i thought he was a social studies teacher?
