care2.com — Arizona teacher Tarah Ausburn has been fired from her job teaching English at Imagine Prep High School, in Surprise, because she refused to remove a bumper sticker from her car. _____________________
Bandersnatchi's take:
Can you say, "pun?"
This teacher has not only the courage of her convictions, she has wit as well.
cf. Have you hugged your kid today?
vs. Have you drugged your kid today? - the offending sticker.
Shades of Dead Poets Society.
The school does not deserve this teacher.
She speaks the truth.
They cannot handle the truth.
The excessive dispensing of prescription drugs to alter moods, and inhibit thinking is apalling: ritalin, prozac, et al.
The dumbing down of school terxts, TV shows, the numbing of America through the avalanche of advertising propaganda all aimed at conrolling the behaviour of the masses is disgusting.
More teachers aware enough and courageous enough to try to awaken youth is exactly what is needed.
The cost of freedom is eternal vigilance.
Don't let these fools silence another voice of sanity and reason.
That a teacher's job is in part to stimulate students to think is surely not contentious?
The Socratic method is the basis of public & private education or it is just propaganda. There are constitutional issues here. But this is Arizona and I fear the conspiracy to promote ignorance to maintain power is widespread there. But not only there.
