I assume you are an American. If so, with your rude language, you do your country a great diss-service. (pun intended)

The real issue is not what happened in a classroom in Colorado but rather how the right-wing blogosphere and media have over-reacted to what might have happened.

With your comment above, you have played your part in this.

FWIW, I have read the transcripts and listened to the recording. I’ve only heard Mr Bennish doing his job, and doing it well. He was urging students to use critical thinking; something which you, your government and some of your countrymen have demonstrated is severely lacking.

As an oft-times supporter of all that is good in America, I urge you to not squander what is left of your country’s good-will.
