#1 The thing that surprised me reading the transcript of the tape was not the usual Bush Derangement Syndrome ranting but the number of "facts everyone knows" that were simply wrong. Never mind the political indoctrination apect, I'd fire Bennish simply for being a crappy geography teacher.

#2 I actually knew of one geography teacher fired for a bizarre reason. He was teaching geology, not geography. Which is all well and good in a geology class, but not what they had hired him for.

For some odd reason, he would *not* teach geography, despite repeated entreaties. I mean, the guy really loved geology, and that's all he would talk about. They really had no choice but to fire him.
