Michigan TEACHER won’t show Trump inaugural to students

When I was a kid, in general the event was carried by radio. Course by the time Ike came up, we had the 12 inch tv.

What is important here is the education the teacher deprived on purpose. Not because she would not show it, but because she does not like or trust Trump. Trump made clear he put we Americans first.

Kids never care anyway.

Maybe this one kid on the Kimmel show cares. This kid by age 5 was getting on tv and making adults seem ill informed.

 

That pretty much sums up the alt-right motto, doesn't it?

"Dad-gum edumacated people need to (*)(*)(*)(*) so that us trailer-park folk can school them on these here geopolitics."

 

“Because I am concerned about my students and your children being exposed to language and behavior that is not in concert with the most conservative social and family values, I have decided to show the inauguration of Donald Trump this Friday, but we will not view Mr. Trump's inauguration speech,” Meteyer wrote in the e-mail.

Why get triggered by the fake news you created yourself....?

 

Teachers are not mesiahs of education, critical thinking, and specifically politics. They simply know enough to teach 1 or more specific subjects.

Thier job is to do just that. Not push a political agenda in a math class.

Bit your post reflects leftist radicalism pretty well. You see and perceive what you want, not what's actually there or actually being said.

 

I did see the teacher's statement. (I suspected it was code speech)

But, considering the fact Trump did not did not display bad language or behavior in the speech, during the luncheon, at his review of the parade, while signing documents, or addressing the crowds at the evening parties, I submit the only person believing fake news is the teacher.

PS: Anyone see the band Pelican 212? I never knew they existed. WOW!

 

Rubbish. Nine year-olds aren't remotely interested in political rhetoric. The teacher did the right thing; she taught and ignored the circus act.

 

What is sad is that you can't seem to understand that her job is to teach and not turn on a TV for a class of nine year-olds who both couldn't give a damn about politics, and who wouldn't understand what the hell that boring orange guy was on about anyway.

 

Some here claim showing the inauguration on TV in classrooms doesn't add to the education of students and might subject them to being upset by what they see. OK......let's run with that.
Why was virtually every classroom in America watching TV when the Challenger exploded? Shouldn't they too have been protected from seeing something that might upset them? Was someone crazy enough to think there was educational value in watching a rocket take off?

Is there really any difference between inspiring kids to devote their lives to science or public service?

 

You must be talking about liberal kids.

 

I was in school when both Bush SR and Clinton were inaugurated. We didn't watch either during school hours.

 

So the kids don't get to watch a monumentally historic moment because he made a comment 15 years ago, and you think he may make a similar comment during his inauguration speech?

Classic. Good luck in the real world.

 

how is an old rich guy becoming President in any way historic?

 

"monumentally historic moment" !

It happens every 4 years and it is the same every time. It just uses different actors. There is nothing to learn from it

 

Thankfully we have intellectuals such as yourself ready to ensure that teachers "learn their place."

On a completely related note, you misspelled "their" and "messiah."

 

It's happened a handful of times in history.

First time a non-political candidate has won in how many decades?

I bet Obamas inauguration was monumentally historic, huh?

 

He's the only president to have never served in government.

This is a pivotal point in our nation's future, don't you agree?

Or was it last time and the time before that, but now it's just eh?

 

That's odd. On several networks they are talking about:
Overcoming a large, credible field of Republican candidates
Beating the unbeatable Hillary
The nation's first President who wasn't a general or politician
The networks are claiming it's an election for the ages and will be studied for centuries.

Other than that, it's of little consequence.

 

Part of that teaching should be imparting knowledge of the things that make the US special, like the peaceful transfer of power. Doesn't have to support either side of the aisle.

 

And the teacher in question let their students watch that "peaceful transfer of power"...so what are people crying about?

 

The ceremony is exactly the same each time just with different actors. Handful of times? The average person will live through 20 of these ceremonies and everyone exactly the same! Children are at school to learn - there is nothing to learn from watching 3 hours of an inauguration. Hardly anyone bothered to actually be there.

 

Soo, you've been to Syria or Russia? Sorry, reality slaps your attempt at painting anyone that doesn't agree with you in the face as a bigot....

Yes, monumentally historic event. Took on his own party, the OTHER party, the media, and all the big donors, and STILL won.

That's historic. Clinton's failure was historic, and unprecedented.

Donald's victory was historic and unprecedented just the same.

 

That all happened before the inauguration

 

Indeed it did. His path to the presidency didn't end on election day, though.

 

Don't fool yourself! Just because your child isn't interested doesn't mean others wont take an interest. Myself as child I did in fact pay attention to what my parents and family were watching and saying about political things. As a parent I have had children ask some very interesting questions about things happening in the world and as a grandparent experienced the same thing. One of those children is now a politician themselves and during this election we had many discussions and some of the things they talked about for comparison happened when they were very young but he remembers them like they were yesterday. Learning from a book is good but witnessing history and having someone to point out that it is indeed history being made in front of your eyes is priceless!
