We have a Dictator
A geography teacher has been suspended after he compared President Bush's current State of the Union to Hitler's speeches. One of his students recorded him as he was pointing out the similarities, and now the school is in uproar because of the administration's actions.
No one wants to be compared to Der Fuhrer, but unless it's against school policy, it seems to me that the administration has no choice but to reinstate the teacher. Unbalanced, yes. He can still say it. He can throw out an idea and make his students think. They're old enough to agree or disagree. To punish a teacher for criticizing the president is censorship and violates free speech.
I do have to wonder though, it's high school geography. Shouldn't he be teaching them about rivers, mountains, tigers, and bears (oh my!)? Bush? There are bigger fish in the sea.
