No, I went to HS in the next town, but I had many friends there and went in once in a while. I have a nephew there, but he pays little attention to it. Says both sides are being obstinate and playing victim.

I went over to the high school conservative club site, and they have scanned some stuff they claim the teachers hand out- seems pretty biased to me!

I am biased myself, I will admit. Having gone to high school, I tend to side with these students who claim their positions are being unfairly stifled.

I put up with similar tactics and it's hard to hold your ground. I once suggested that Castro's regime was oppressive, and I got an "extra credit" assignment on Cuba that was to be graded. If I chose to, I could use the paper to defend, with evidence, my assertions.

I played it smart and went for the grade, whacking out three pages showing beyond a doubt that all of Cubas'problems came from the embargo, and got an A, boosted my grade, and the teacher KNEW she was being ridiculed just by the sincerity of my paper. But, I did not stand up, I'll always remember that I knuckled under for a grade.
