Is the teacher lying?

Will the ACLU come to the defense of the teacher?

Whether or not he'll keep his job still remains to be seen, Freedom of speech - only free when the left says it is, otherwise your jailed or fired. The left is so much fun!

5{e to state his observations? It sounds to me like the teacher who wrote the letter had done some serious thinking and studying to come by his opinions and theories.
Unfortunately, his views are not Politically Correct, thus he is in trouble.

Truth,a word that the PC in all cities can't seem to understand. The fault lies where it is identified as in the print written by this bold but misunderstood teacher. This teacher has made a point and now its up to the rest to exam the Facts as they are. It already is awful hard to fill teachers to fill positions with Good abilities, now it seems the goals are begining to lessen with each incident as he has stated. The schools need to reappoach the issue and return to the roots of education as they were first deployed.

They will try to shoot the messenger.
The truth is what the PC crowd can not tolerate.

Though I agree with Mr. Phelps...he needs to go to back to school and learn how to construct a sentence, capitalize and punctuate. I hope this is not an actual copy of the letter, it really makes him look like a fool

Yikes! A thought crime has been committed! Everyone knows that all problems in the world are caused by White Christians! (/bitter sarcasm)

I happened to catch some of this broadcast yesterday and it was quite good.
Generally I find the 'John and Ken Show' to be a bit fragmented and quick to judge, but in the context presented yesterday, they earned their pay.
The school district spokesman knew the PC phrases to tastefully remove himself from questioning, but John and Ken pounced at the first mention of 'Thanks for the opportunity to ...' or 'Thanks for having me...'
I suspect some press memebrs have now taken some of those "How to deal with the Media" classes offered to mid-upper management CEOs at management retreats and can quickly beat the hypesters to the punch.
One facet of this issue which convinces me that the criticism by the teacher of reverse discrimination is on the mark, is the district's response that the letter was fine, EXCEPT for the race card went over the line.
I need no more justification. I'm convinced the teacher is right on target and the administration is wrong and more guilty than implied.

Thanks, I had not seen that one before. I guess speech is not free to the left - they only know two kinds of speech; The one they want you to hear, and hate speech.
To: chance33_98
Exactly. Said another way, "Hate Speech" is defined as speech that Leftists hate.
To: chance33_98
Wonder what would have happened had the teacher substituted the words "Anglo-Saxon" for "African-American"?

What strikes me as strange is he starts off without all those things, but by the end he was capitalizing and punctuating properly. It is almost as if he started off worn down and not really caring, but then got so worked up while typing it that his level of attention and concern rose markedly. Strange.
To: chance33_98
This has been the plan. It has been deliberate. Once while engaged in a debate with a socialist I was told that I was free to say what I wanted,FOR NOW.

Well. . . at least ya gotta give the Lefties credit for being somewhat creative. . . even though the results of their creativity are absurd. For example. . . I just learned that the Leftist Boy Scouts have created a new Scout Motto:
"On my honor I will do my best. . .
to help myself and f**k the rest" !!!

My wife is a team leader in middle school, my best friend is a department head in middle school, my sister is a department head in high school, my daughter is a freshman, and my son graduated a year and a half ago.
They all agree with this teacher.

Phelps' email uses the forbidden '
Naspozda' reasoning.
It's probably all true. You're just Naspozda mention it.
