Teachers Protest At High School Assembly..... But Should They Have?

We have the greatest freedoms and rights in this wonderful country......but along with these rights and freedoms is the responsibility of using some common sense when best to apply them.

It is a bit ironic that these teachers decided to protest "war" at an assembly in which school officials recognized graduating seniors entering the military. The assembly was not glorifying or supporting war, rather it was recognizing these wonderful citizens sacrifice to offer their service and possibly their lives to protect the teachers right to protest....... at least in this person eyes, this was very disrespectful.

At least one of the teachers, in addition to the paid leave has been given an unpaid suspension for the first 10 days of school in September. While a small minority might find this punishment disturbing, the teacher appears to be able voice her right/opinions quite freely and openly as "her anti-war views are well known" to the students and school district.

What is the issue is whether or not these teachers have any common sense......

May God protect these and all those who serve in our military........

People enlist, even when there are no wars.

What I was referring to; was a teacher using their position to instill their own political beliefs.

PS: I am an anti-war advocate. I endorse Ron Paul's foreign policy.

Defending America against perceived enemies, is no good.

@quaffer22 Are you referring to the attentiveness to our American rights, the logical pursuit of sound policy, standing up for one's beliefs, or being less controlled than others by the propaganda of very rich people who sometimes prefer war, even when it's unnecessary? Or all of the above?

@Dougster Because you're incapable of paying attention when they speak the truth, so all you can think about is their face?

Reminding people of our rights in this great nation -- and that we should always be mindful of the downsides of war, ensuring that we only fight when necessary -- is the opposite of "unacceptable and disrespectful." What more respect can you offer those entering the military than the assurance that we do not take the decision to send them to war lightly? Anyone opposed to this is putting their extremely sensitive personal feelings ahead of what's best for these kids, our military, our country.

Why does it seem that war protestors always have a blank, dumb, stare...

Isn't this what's going on in our colleges?
