Colorado controversy
posted Friday, March 3, 2006 :: 11:15 AM
A high school teacher in Colorado -- my home state -- is up to his eyeballs in controversy
after stating in his classroom that President Bush is like Hitler and
that America is “probably the single most violent nation on planet
Earth.” Was this a political science class? A comparative history
class? How about American history? Current events? No, on all counts.
The teacher’s personal political views were part of his lecture in his
world geography class. Yes, Hitler is the first thing that comes to
mind when I think of world geography, too.

Its things like this that make me more determined than ever to homeschool Zane! Teachers shouldn't let their political or personal agenda into the classroom. Unfortunately, I think scenarios like this are happening everywhere, everyday. Thank you for keeping the motivation to homeschool so prevalent in my mind, Mom!
How long will it be before MP3 players are banned from school? I bet if this trend continues it won't be long. Proof that the schools don't want true accountability.
Visit with Christine Miller awhile and let's share our thoughts on homeschooling, education, and life.

I am researching the holy days which were instituted by God as a celebration of the Messiah, instead of celebrating the holy days which were instituted by man to honor nature in place of nature's God.
