[QUOTE="SMS, post: 2191811, member: 42"] I wouldn't say that is true about all the educators out there. Let's not forget there is another big element in this education process, [I]Parents[/I]. There are still schools that are run by like-minded conservative folks BUT even those administrators are scared of their own shadows when it comes [I]lawsuits[/I] and [I]intimidation[/I] from parents who are coddling their kids. Two years ago, my oldest boy called another kid "A Red Power Ranger"....I guess in the kid's world, being a red power range is some sort of insult because the kid went home crying to his mother. The mother called the school and threatened to use her "family's political connections" if something wasn't done about the "emotional bullying" taking place in the school. End result: One day suspension. Parents are as much the problem as our educators. [/QUOTE]
