Teacher Berates Student Over Choice of Candidate


Who would do that to a child?! Unlocked because I don't fucking care anymore.

That teacher was ridiculously hypocritical.

Frankly I don't think teachers need to be speaking to students about political persuasion OR religion unless they're a Government teacher in high school or a Sunday school teacher. In either of those situations, the parents involved have an idea of what their child is signing up for.

I kept hearing alot of stories about children involvement in this past election. I'm all for parents talking to their children about it, but I just don't think there's any safe way for teachers to really discuss it with elementary or middle school kids w/out approaching it with bias one way or another.

Indeed. Talking to your students about politics really should be on that unwritten rule of things not to talk about. I don't even think my college professors brought politics up much.
