Have y'all heard any of the audio of Colorado High School teacher Jay Bennish? If for some reason you have not, I encourage you to find it and listen.<br /><br />This is what's being taught in our schools. This guy just got caught on audio. No wonder our country is going to he!! ina handbasket. <br /> :mad: <br />Some things he lectures:<br />*911 was justified<br />*North Carolina tobacco fields are no different than the coca fields in South America<br />*Calls Bush Hitler<br />Just to name a few.

Re: Jay Bennish

My 10 year old came home yesterday and said "nicotine is the most addictive drug in the world". Neither of us are smokers, but this P's me O. I told him to tell his teacher that I would prefer him to smoke at 10 than be a heroin addict at 18 . . . He won't do it, but when will these people get a handle on moral equivalency?<br /><br />Here is my list of priorities for a 10 year old:<br /><br />1) Behave properly<br />2) Have fun<br />3) ? I'm still thinking

More Questionable thought. ;) <br />Reminds me of the boy who came home from school and when his Daddy asked him what he learned, he replied "we learned about the kinds of gin".<br />His dad went up in the air, "What! teaching you about gin? let's see there is Gordons, Gilbeys..."<br />No, No, Daddy. Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen....

Re: Jay Bennish

The American Indoctrination system. Cigarettes bad should be illegal. Pot good, should be made legal?<br /><br />George Bush bad, JFK role model.<br /><br />I listened to the whole thing and I am convinced that this has nothing to do with geography, and this guy needs therapy and to be kept away from kids. But he is a teacher, good luck trying to fire him.

I didn't realize the guy was a Geography teacher! What's all that got to do with Geography?<br /><br />

Because he's trying to make this country a communist country! That way he doesn't have to pack. And he probably can't find the communist countries on the map!

I guess his teacher should have told him that nicotine isnt addictive then......... :confused: <br /><br /><br />I dont think that by telling a kid nicotine is the most addictive drug in the world the teacher is endorsing the use of heroin...........Did the teacher sy that Heroin isnt???<br /><br />I give props for the teacher actually. Cigs are a gateway to everything else. Why not stop it at the begining? Being closer to the subject age group than most here I can tell you that smoking leads to A LOT of bad stuff.

Re: Jay Bennish

Pony,<br /><br />I think that as a geography teacher, he might think about teaching some geography. Does that make Stalin a wholesome leader based on the fact he didn't import American cigarettes?<br /><br />1.) Nicotine isn't the most addictive drug. It may be the most frequently used addictive substance. But that isn't what he said. (To the best of my memory)<br /><br />2.) Geography class.<br /><br />3.) Cigarettes are legal!!!! <br /><br />4.) Schools won't teach abstainance as it applies to sex but when it comes to cigs, Katy bar the door? Come on....<br /><br />5.) Geography class not indoctrination class.

Re: Jay Bennish

Pointer,<br />I agree with you in terms of what this Colorado teacher is saying. Its Geography not Poli Sci, not to mention the audience is a bunch of high school kids. He was way out of line, whether anyone agrees with his synopsis or not.......its not the place for him to express his own political theory......in a college political science lecture maybe as college students can normally take his opinions with a grain of salt.<br /><br />My comments were more about QC being upset with his kids teacher.<br /><br /><br />I know cigs are legal as is drinking.........but not for high school kids and certainly not 10 year olds. When of age it becomes their choice obviously, but I still hold to my belief that kids need to know that nicotine is incredibly addictive and that id CAN lead to much much worse drugs.

I don't have a problem with anything the teacher said.....<br />He stated & disclaimed that it was for discussion purposes, & that they should draw their own conclusions.....<br />

Hmmmm? I wonder why I expected nothing less here. If what this guy did was OK, let's have all the teachers spew the same anti-American hatred and see how long it takes this country to tank.<br /><br />I for one am glad that liberalism is on the rocks in this country. The above statement is a prime example of why.
