You mean liberal should be condemning irresponsible eating behavior because they love to tell others what to do. [/quote]

I’d rather schools taught children not to eat junk food than schools forcing kids to learn about (un)intelligent design.

I rather schools teach children math, English, art, science, etc.[/quote]

Well, most public schools failed at that, so they are trying to do the next thing. Trying demonstrate authority.

This reminds me of some of the “teachers” I had growing up. I don’t know why there were teachers. Because they didn’t seem to be truely inspiring education. Some took joy out of writing demerits or screaming at students etc, and yet were protected from getting fired due to union rules, despite numerous protests from parents/students.

I remember in junior high 8th grade, there was an english/ss class with 50 students, for which two male teachers were teaching 50 students in one mega-class. Every year, the would seat all the girls up front and all the boys in the back. Finally, my year some of the suspicious girls caught on.. One of the girls sitting in front decides to wear a tank top to school, and down her shirt, slightly right above her bra she writes with a ballpoint pen “Fvck you [teacher name] for looking”, only visible if you were actually peering down the shirt. Well, during class, I heard one of the teachers starting to yell at her and sent her to the principal’s office, which she was happy to go, only for the other teach to send another student to intercept her to tell her she didn’t have to go because the teacher “changed his mind”. The girl ended up going to the principal’s office anyway, parents called, lot’s of steamy parents, and then suddenly the next day, all the chairs were re-arranged…Teachers still were there though, not fired, thanks to union rules.
