    She is doing her job of teaching the subjects during the day. Let their parents show them the idiot in front of the Capitol.

    - - - Updated - - -

    <Rule 2> she is teaching not showing that buffoon.
    If their parents want them to watch the idiot, let them show it.

    No, this is typical progressive stupidity.

    The teacher in question is a man.

    The teacher is probably trying to protect the honor of progressives, because he knows they are going to act like violent wing nuts so he doesn't want the kids to be turned off from progressivism.

    Instead if anything happens he will just lie and blame trump.

    Apparently a lot more than the precious snowflakes melting in tears. When I was 9, I could recite the Gettysburg address and knew what it meant.

    Quick - DOUBLE JEOPARDY bonus question for $20,000

    Where did Lincoln give the Gettysburg Address?
    A. Grant's Tomb
    B. Can't tell - addresses have changed since the advent of zip codes.
    C. The Gettysburg "A" dress is what you should wear to a formal event.
    D. He never gave the speech. White supremacists re-wrote the history books.

    I ask again - was it required for the class? If not, then shut the (*)(*)(*)(*) up about it. This is nonsense, a non-story.

    Apparently many don't understand the issue. (or perhaps, some of us haven't been articulating our viewpoint clearly)
    For the past several elections, the teacher did show the inauguration to his students. But, because Hillary lost and Trump won, he's decided to go political on his kids.
    If he hadn't shown previous inaugurations, it wouldn't be an issue. But that isn't the case. He's pouting and has decided to take it out on his students.
    In the political scheme of things it doesn't matter. Trump is still President. But what it does do is prove the public education system in littered with closet radicals willing to abuse anyone for their "cause".

    What "cause" are you talking about?

    What "radicals" are you talking about?

    Again, if it isn't part of the curriculum, then no harm, no foul, irrelevant nonsense. The only reason people are posting this garbage is in some way validation seeking for supporting Donald Trump for president, as if the negative feelings associated with his election somehow cognitively validate your own positive feelings and reinforce them.

    Go ahead and be a vampire all you like, the reality is, the teacher is under absolutely no requirement to show it, and never was. Just because said teacher showed Obama's doesn't mean he has to show Trump's, and if it isn't required learning, then shut the (*)(*)(*)(*) up about it. This debate is pointless.

    I'm not seeing what the big fuss is about either. Was the teacher's decision politically motivated? Probably. Does it really matter? No.

    What might distinguish this apart from other politically biased educators is that nothing really overt has happened here.

    I guess you didn't see or don't care the author of the thread changed the title of the story in the link. And made the title a lie and the discussion ensued around a lie.
    I've seen many of them of recent from RWers.

    The best was all the aircraft carriers lined up in a row so we could bomb them and start WW3 so obama could install martial law before today's inauguration..
    This thread nor that one have anything to do with progressives.

    Trump still beat Hillary, what does that say about liberals? At the end of the day, liberals put forth a worse candidate and lost big and yet they have the audacity to whine about Trump? If it wasn't so pathetic it would be funny...

    Great question: Unlike many liberals, it helped me realize the Bill of Rights isn't an invoice.

    Several? At five elections that would be 20 years. How old are his students anyway? Are they not old enough to vote themselves?

    Here we have it folks. Apparently spending a decade in 4th grade isn't a foreign concept for many liberals.

    Did you miss his $900,000 settlement and committing perjury and obstruction of justice in a federal court and federal grand jury which cost him an additional $90,000 and for which he lost his license to practice law for 5 years in the criminal plea bargain?

    I was never shown the Inauguration in school when I was a kid. How about you? Is there some mandate or job requirement that the teacher is in violation of by not showing the Inauguration? What percentage of kids watched the inauguration at school? If the historical norm is that it is generally not shown in schools, then what does it matter? Objectively what harm was caused to the children in that or any class where the Inauguration was not shown?
