Remember Jay Bennish - the teacher who ranted for 20 minutes and was recorded? You may remember the name, but not the face because Mr. Bennish had an "extreme makeover" before appearing on this morning's Today Show.

Also, an anonymous commentor on my HSB blog said this:

First of all... lets not take Mr. Bennish's, who by the way is one of the most known and respected teachers at Overland High School (my school), out of context. For example the exerpt you put on your front page is a small part of sucha big lecture that was ended with, "Alright, and so this becomes very, very muddled. And I'm not in any way implying that you should agree with me. I don't even know if I'm necessarily taking a position. But what I'm trying to get you to do is to think, right, about these issues more in-depth, you know, and not just take things from the surface. And I'm glad you asked all your questions, because they're very good, legitimate questions. And hopefully that allows other people to begin to think about some of those things, too." (Quote from your very own Michelle Malkin) So make sure you keep this part in mind, when you are so glad you stay homeschooled.
