I think you missed my point. I'm not going to start that thread because it isn't a political agenda I wish to push. My point is, as a professional teacher, I don't bring my personal political views into the classroom. I don't use my position or my students as political pawns, yet now it is being suggested that I pull them all out of class or even "strike". Doing so would be wrong for this and any other protest.

I have to go back again and ask, what would we be protesting? I keep seeing "inaction by Congress". What action do we want? "Something" is not an answer and I doubt anyone can come up with one common action to agree upon. It is not my place to pull students out of class or keep them from having class for days on end because of such a protest.[/quote]

If you don't want to participate, then don't.

However, as a professional teacher, you probably know that strikes/walk-outs/public protests don't need detailed policy proposals in order to make their point and be effective.[/quote]
