Some People Compare Bush to Hitler
A Colorado schoolteacher apparently made the comparison, a student recorded it, and the teacher was suspended from his teaching duties. The father of the student said there wasn’t equal time given to opposing views. I guess as a schoolteacher you shouldn’t preach your personal views on politics or religion in class. How does this compare to giving equal time to each and every worldview? If we would keep religion out of public schools, should we keep politics out as well? The answers to these questions would be answered by some that say political science is science and should be fair and balanced in schools (Not FOX style of fair and balanced!) and religion is not science and shouldn’t be taught in public schools at all. Read the story on CNN.

These students are high schoolers and beyond an impressionable age and are old enough to be able to hear a lecture of a certain viewpoint and to critically analyze what they hear. I don't think teachers should be using the classroom for a soapbox either though. I had a professor in college who was so anti-american who was so bad I dreaded going to class. It was a LINGUISTICS class, and we hardly discussed linguistics, but we learned a lot about Croatia and Serbia and U.S interference in the Baltic! (Moan) He gave us all A's for showing up and listening to his baloney.
I agree that the father of the student who recorded the lecture was probably a rightwing nutjob and if the professor would have been saying all great things about Bush, the father would have been singing the teacher praises.
By the way, the HitlerBush pic is hilarious.
