How can we brainwash a generation of left winger children without, you know, brainwashing them? Thankfully we have left wing unions full of teachers to do it.
The left doesn't attack teachers doing their job with lies and bs spin- the whole GD Pub Propaganda machine- disgraceful demagoggery, sluts who aren't public figures. A disgrace. THIS IS NOT POLITICS, ya stupid a-holes. Change the channel, knuckleheads...And good night.
im sure the right would be ok with this if the president was a republican though...
this is faux outrage from faux news...
Did Obama assign this work to the students?
Right away, two things jump out that are horribly wrong with this picture. First of all, the students did not get to chose which candidate they support and which they considered opposition. Second, their findings will be turned over to the Obama campaign. This is atrocious!
Students in Va. Middle School Politics Class Assigned to Do Opposition Research, Devise Attack Strategies on GOP for Obama Campaign
Students in Va. Middle School Politics Class Assigned to Do Opposition Research, Devise Attack Strategies on GOP for Obama Campaign | Fox News Insider
Megyn Kelly reported on new controversy coming out of a Virginia middle school politics class today, in which an 8th grade teacher assigned students to do opposition research on the four Republican presidential candidates. The students research included looking into the backgrounds of the GOP candidates and finding weaknesses in their positions.
Now, this kind of research wouldnt be out of the norm for a typical politics class if it werent for the teacher requiring the students submit their findings to the Obama campaign!
The notion that the middle schoolers are doing research "for" the Obama campaign is absurd on its face. There is approximately zero chance that they will uncover previously non-public useful information.
This sounds like a potentially worthwhile class project that Fox News and others have savagely attacked in their attempt to entertain and alarm their audience.
Are teachers who try to design engaging curricula on politics and government expected to have to defend their choices from national media machines?
It appears from FOX sources the school board may get involved. Big news? No, only to those who despise Obama.
Yeah cause Obama walked into a Middle school and said," Im fresh out of ideas and have no staff. How about a little help?"
The assignment is fine. But the requirement to submit to the Obama campaign warrants at the very least a suspension ( without pay ) for the teacher if not a complete dismissal.
ETA: However the video says that a school spokesman said NO ONE was required to submit their ideas to the Obama campaign
I'm all for balance,
but I just don't think that it is practical or necessary in this context.
When I was in elementary school we were required as a class assignment to write our Congressman (who happened to be a Republican).
I doubt it occurred to our teacher to find us a Democrat that we could write to if we preferred. There wasn't any need. This kind of Fox News scrutiny wouldn't lead to more balance even if Fox News was itself balanced, it will just discourage teachers from effectively teaching about politics at all.
Absolutely there is a difference. However, I don't have a problem with either.
You mean FoxNews lied?
Say it isn't so!!!!

No, Fox told the truth - which is what upsets you so.
The students WERE assigned to find Obama campaign staff to vet their findings. Two students from each 6 student team was required to do so.
This is hilarious. Trying to make a story out of this and the reaction. Place this in the conspiracy section.

Yeah, since Obama IS god, why would anyone object to children in public school being required to work on his campaign?
It's a mystery to you - the hate sites think it's fine, so what's the problem? DailyKOS has no issue with it....
I'm all for balance,
So students don't fall over while prostrate in mandatory worship of Obama?
but I just don't think that it is practical or necessary in this context.
Children MUST be taught that Obama is god, we get it.
When I was in elementary school we were required as a class assignment to write our Congressman (who happened to be a Republican).
And you see no difference in that, and working on his reelection campaign?
Sure, comrade.

This "teacher" should be fired - but teachers can't be fired. So she should be transferred to an ACORN office and out of the classroom.
