#1 What's upsetting here also is that these are only the cases that we hear about. There are probably many more instances happening around our country, especially in smaller communities, where teachers have a lot of influence and can push their own agenda re: religion/politics. (growing up in a very rural area, and being in the minority this I know very well)
The age of the kids I feel comes into play here as well. Pushing some of these issues to be "discussed" with younger grades, where they may often be brainwashed, verses older grades where there can be frank discussion, after studying both sides of the issues involved.
I would like to see schools held more responsible/accountable and have some real punishment enacted if they are found to be doing this personal type influence to our kids. Punishment directed toward the school and toward the teacher involved.
