I'm about a quarter of the way through this (quite long) rant. This teacher isn't someone who has a rational disagreement with a political viewpoint and wants to teach by having an open discussion about the topic. He's an absolute lunatic who is literally screaming at his students to get them to accept his conclusions that, among other things, the U.S. is the most violent country in the world, Iran and North Korea have the right to invade the U.S., and Bush gave a speech in which he threatened every other country in the world with invasion. He doesn't just need a week off from teaching; he needs a Thorazine prescription.

Oh - and just as I was previewing my post, he got to the Bush = Hitler comparisons. I think I could recite the rest of the rant without even listening to it.
