Remember the teacher who was put on leave for making political statements? In a class where critical discussion is standard, it should be okay for a teacher to express opinions to inspire discussion. Apparently the investigating school officials agreed, and reinstated him.
We should never be so firm in our opinion that we are afraid to teach our children to consider other viewpoints.

Hey, that school was just a couple of miles from the house I lived in when I was in high school! I think that school was built during my senior year. Anyway, what a silly story. It never should have gone national. How horribly disappointingly sensible and anti-climactic the outcome was!
