Educational system is becoming an oxymoron.

Your tax dollars at work!

First of all,Comrade,the State Department wouldn’t accept an application to renounce US citizenship from 14 year olds.And second,due to numerous treaties that have been signed by the US,the State Department doesn’t accept an application to renounce US citizenship from *anybody* who cannot prove that he/she has another citizenship so as to avoid making that person “stateless”.

...he sent a letter home to his student's parents urging them to renounce their citizenship in the U.S. as he announced he was so doing.

This story should be emailed to every talk show host and hostette. Make sure this idiot gets kicked out of this country ASAP.

“”After careful consideration of the facts of our current situation, I have decided to announce to everyone that I am no longer a citizen of the United States, but a free and independent member of the global community,” it read.”

Great. What country would you like passage to? Because you will never come back to this one. Give him a one way ticket, tell him he can take tqo suitcases and the rest will go up for auction and the check mailed to you minus expenses.

He is so filled with hate against the U.S.A. that he even sent a letter home to his student’s parents asking them to renounce their citizenship in the U.S.

This guy is a complete moron if he really did this. Of course, in Chico, CA, my bet is that many student’s parents are NOT citizens of the US anyway.

This scumbag should be stripped of his citizenship and thrown off the continent.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Ah yes. Sedition and treason-so fashionable today. A sedition and treason chic, if you please. This man has “rights” now you see what some do with their “rights.”

[fella]

Aren’t brigands, pirates and terrorists considered stateless people by international law?

[dbwz]

Vouchers are a start, but the elimination of the teacher’s unions is about the only thing that will begin to fix this problem.

How many of you with children are encouraging them to be teachers and journalists when they grow up?

This all didn't happen overnight, folks. There's stuff you can do to try to stem the tide in the meantime, but if you really want change you've got to have a long-term goal in mind.

Chico? What do you know about Chico?

I guess we could send him to Gitmo.

progressives led by John Dewey

Dewey was a Pragmatist. Also one of the few American philosophers ever. An author who drops a name like this should have some intensive reading already done, but Dewey is as hard to read as most philosophers except Whitehead so it would be best for the author to never drop this name again.

Will he need a visa to continue working at this school if he is no longer a citizen of the US? Someone alert Social Security - he won’t be needing those benefits given to citizens...

Hmmm. Does this mean he won’t be showing up at the polls to vote for Hillary in November 2008?

[John Leland 1789]

Occasionally we meat “stateless” people, but it is only in their own mind.

Two weeks ago, while my wife and I were having dinner out together in Shanghai, our table conversation was disturbed by a man two tables away who insisted on violating our privacy to, basically, tell us that he was one of these “world community” members.

The “stateless” man left China some years ago for a British education, holds both PRC and Swedish passports (according to him), and holds a U.S. Green card. He lives in the States and only returns to China on business trips. Of this I am relatively sure.

The man spent the rest of his time standing over our table badmouthing the USA, Britain and Sweden. So, I asked him, “What country do you call home?” He answered, I am only loyal to myself and to being successful in business and making money.” I told him that there are native-born American businessmen who are exactly as he is.

Remember, when Hillary was asked if she loved America she said that she loved the America that COULD be. Being openly anti-US is acceptable and ‘normal’ behavior in our current society. This is a dangerous time, and too many people are more concerned about what’s on TV than the type of world their children will grow up in.

I had not clicked on the teacher's name prior to responding - dang, I read the article, didn't realize there was homework too! :^)

I'm not sure I buy the explanation by the teacher - even if it was all above board, he did a lousy job of setting up the lesson. This will bite him in the rear.
