Freedom of speech under attack

There's a big stink over this teacher in Colorado who is spreading "Anti-Bush propaganda." The student who complained recorded a portion of a class just after Pres. Bush's State of the Union address. Here it is, from the local news webstie for your consideration.

Now, is the lecture anti-Bush? If giving an excellent demonstration of applied critical thinking is anti-Bush, than it is.

Is it anti-American? If anti-American means teaching students to value all peoples and national interests as equal-than it may be.

Anti-capitalism? Shouldn't a well rounded student be exposed to the pros and cons of any political or economic system?

At the end of the recording, he stresses that he does not care whether you agree or disagree, but he is just trying to give students some critical thinking skills. And now-thanks to the student (who asks predictable neo-con type questions) he is being investigated by the district, and may even be fired.

The skill of critical thinking is lacking in America today-which is one of the reasons that we have an idiot like Bush in the White House.

Rather than being fired, this guy deserves a medal.

BTW, at the beginning of the video is an ad-I have neither positive nor negative feelings about Frontier Airlines. Therefor, I cannot endorse them, but, I have yet to hear of one crashing, so, I guess I'd fly on it if it had the best fare.

More podcast fun coming soon!
