Ron Paul Got My Son Detention

[acptulsa]

not ALL teachers are like this one.

She might find it easier to give up and refer to herself as an "educator". Otherwise, she's stuck with the bad name those like the one in the OP's son's classroom have made for her...

 

[Zolah]

Good job

 

[thedemoboy]

Haha!

Kudos!

 

[Kraig]

Well, actually it was his cynical sarcastic mouth. But he still is my hero of the day.

In class, they were talking about the election and the teacher said there were 3 candidates left.

My son put his hand up and said "Ron Paul is still in the race."

The teacher said "No, he quit because he couldn't keep up."

To which my son said "No, he's definitely still in. Maybe you should quit if you can't keep up."

You sound proud, you should be.

Good Job Mom!

HaHa poor teacher can't keep up can she... but lets cut her some slack b/c she probably got her education from a public school too! Now she's just passing it on.

 

[DirtMcGirt]

Awesome!!! 7th grader and standing up for his beliefs!!!

FYI Im trying to get these images bigger but having trouble, any advice?

Eh, your sons a jackass. Sounds to me like he'll be lucky if he makes it all the way to graduation.

Mike Gravel is technically still in the race too, but you dont hear anyone bitching over him.

When you act like Ron Paul still has a shot of winning, you sound like a loon. The 2008 race is over. Ron Paul did not win. He has about as much of a shot of winning the 2008 Republican nomination as you do. Pretending like hes still gonna pull this one off; it makes you sound nuts, and you are not doing Ron Paul or the liberty movement any favors.

If you start accepting delusions that Ron Paul is still going to win, you are just as gullible as the crazies who think Al Quaeda is in Iraq and the terrorists hate us for our freedoms.

 

[thuja]

we should bombard that teacher and the principal with letters.

I'm a douche bag.

Name-calling on the internet, directed at minors, invalidated your post (even though your post invalidates itself in pointlessness)

You sir, are a fucken idiot.

My son put his hand up and said "Ron Paul is still in the race."

John McCain just said the EXACT same thing! (2:30+)

Apologize to the young patriot. I hope you're not a teacher... cus that kid could run circles around you. Jackass.

My kid could take him!

I suspect it's the jackass thing that got him the detention. You know, even in these conspiracy laden times, I do not think the teachers are giving detentions for supporting Ron Paul.

And yet that appears to be exactly what happened. Ask yourself what would have happened if the teacher had included Ron Paul but left out Obama and been corrected. There are many others still running besides Paul, and that just makes the teacher more wrong. If there is a way to confront this type of behavior it needs to be challenged by us all as much as possible.

More fundamentally, it demonstrates beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is not one of those teachers who takes the time and trouble (and is secure enough in themselves) to teach kids how to think. Rather this is one of those status-minded, needlessly authoritarian masters of regurgitation that make school so miserable--and America weaker annually.

I agree that there's a big difference between a "teacher" and an "educator," given today's widespread use of pre-canned lesson plans and biased texts.

Would you call someone who opens and heats a can of spagettios a "chef"??

Sadly, these days, many if not most 'teachers' don't teach students how to think but rather what to think. Hence the rote memorization.

I agree that most teachers don't teach a kid how to think, but honestly, that is the parent's responsibility first. If public school is the only option, then a kid really needs to know to question authority.

If the parents do their job, stay involved and guide him or her, then the public schooling system can't harm a kid. You can't send a kid to public school, do nothing and expect the system to spit out Einstein clones on the other end.

Questioning authority in today's indoctrination camps gets you a trip to detention, as we just saw in this thread.

Even with good parents, public "education" does terrible harm to a student. It would be nice to believe otherwise, but be honest with yourself.

What terrible damage is done by spending 8 hours every day being told what to think, how to behave, and regimented to the point that you're afraid to go to the bathroom without raising your hand. Can that really be corrected by evening and weekend parental involvement? How many parents invest as much time to reverse the indoctrination as the time invested by the trainers?

I better shut up now before I piss off a lot of parents.

QFT!
Ok, since you 'shh'd' yourself...
We'll let the video do the rest of the talking.

Something every parent needs to see. Now they can really get pissed?

Believe me, I know exactly what you are saying. I had two sons go through the indoctrination of the public school system, and it was a constant battle to reeducate them every day. I had a serious problem though as I was not told what they had been indoctrinated with and thus did not know what reeducation was necessary all of the time.

A parent can only correct what is known to be incorrect and since there is no paper sent home daily as to what was told the student, it is very difficult to correct the indoctrination the student was taught all day.

I'm sure a lot of stuff my sons were taught was not able to be corrected by myself or my wife as we were in the dark as to what they had been told.
