A Tacoma, Washington middle school teacher took great offense when one of his students named President Trump as a person he admires. The thing is, Perry G. Keithley Middle School sixth grade teacher Brendan Stanton asked his virtual class this very question — “who is the one person you admire and why?” I admire Donald J. Trump because he is making America great again. And because he is the best president the United States of America could ever, ever have. And he built the wall so terrorists couldn’t come into in the U. S. Trump is the best person in...

Andrew 1st Period Liberalism: The Death of Freedom Liberalism as it is defined today is “support for a strong role of government in regulating capitalism and constructing the welfare state.”(Dictionary.com).and it challenges the intimate connection between personal liberty and a private property based market order. The definition of Freedom is “the power to exercise choice and make decisions without constraint"(Dictionary.com).

BENNINGTON, Vermont (AP) -- A high school teacher is facing questions from administrators after giving a vocabulary quiz that included digs at President Bush and the extreme right. Bret Chenkin, a social studies and English teacher at Mount Anthony Union High School, said he gave the quiz to his students several months ago. The quiz asked students to pick the proper words to complete sentences. One example: "I wish Bush would be (coherent, eschewed) for once during a speech, but there are theories that his everyday diction charms the below-average mind, hence insuring him Republican votes." "Coherent" is the right...

Imagine the scandal if a foreign government had for years funneled millions of dollars to political groups in the United States in an attempt to affect the outcome of a U.S. election. Even worse, what if some of the groups that received money had been involved in a failed coup attempt against a democratically elected U.S. president? Would the U.S. public not have a right to be outraged at the attempt to manipulate our political process? Of course we would - which is why the people of Venezuela have a right to be outraged at the U.S. government's ongoing attempts...

By ROBYN MOORMEISTERSentinel staff writer This high school teacher doesn’t think the U.S. government is playing with a full deck. So she’s printed up her own decks in an effort to prove it. Available locally, the ‘‘Operation: Hidden Agenda" playing cards are Kathy Eder’s answer to the U.S. military’s distribution of its most wanted list card collection — the Bush administration’s unique and portable list of 55 wanted former Iraqi government officials. Eder’s cards are a little different than George W.’s. There are pictures of U.S. government officials, like the four of spades featuring Central Command Commander in Chief Tommy...
