Do you believe everything your kids tell you?

Why was the kid talking in the first place about GOP candidates?

I am sure he was making an implicit claim that GOP candidates are great.

And the teacher just corrected that false impression.

This kids parents, should realize that public schools are RUN BY THE GOVERNMENT. And if the GOP nut jobs have their way, they would outsource this to private enterprise, at minimum wage. Romney would think this is 'marvelous'

Hopefully the kid took this lesson to heart.

The student was disabled. Too often such kids are picked on by teachers. I wonder if that played any part?

You are so fucking stupid. As a conservative i watch both view points and listen to alot of MSNBC, CNN and Fox news.

if this is representative of your base well then no wonder you are brainwashed and clueless to what goes on outside of what liberal standing media feeds you.

How about the teacher give out a lesson on what happens in a purely liberal environment which is bankrupt and continues to increase taxes vs a conservative environment with surpluses and low taxes?
