Identify the Four Chambers of the Heart and the Three Pillars of Obamacare
If you still have your kid in a public school, I have one question for you.
Why?
A few days after President Obama’s speech, one of the members of Smart Girl Politics contacted me and was upset about something that had transpired in her daughter’s school. Her daughter, a senior in high school, had come home upset because, although the speech was not shown in her school, her anatomy teacher had made the class watch the President’s health care speech. After the video was shown, the students were given a short quiz about the speech. The questions asked gave the assumption that the answers provided in the President’s speech were fact and not opinion. The students were given no opportunity to discuss opposing views or have a debate on the topic. In fact, when one student stated that the President had lied, the student was told that kind of talk was unnecessary. Students in the class with opposing views were forced to remain silent or whisper amongst themselves.
You can see a copy of the quiz at the link, but let me give you a couple or three of the questions.
1) How many American citizens currently can not get healthcare coverage?
2) How many American citizens lose their coverage every day?
6) Can federal dollars be used to fund abortions?
Now, I know darned well what the teacher decided the correct answer to those three questions should be and what the correct answers really are.
But let me point out something more important. This happened in anatomy class. Last I checked, understanding of Barack Obama’s health care plan is not necessary to know where to find a human spleen or duodenum.
RELATED: I guess if you have no problem teaching a bunch of little kids a Dear Leader-esque anthem of devotion to Barack Obama, then you won’t blink as using the same kids as a prop to sell the book you wrote. Note here that the school in question disapproved only of the recording and distribution of the video, not the blatant religious indoctrination.

these sorts of 'teachers' must be fired.
they are not teachers, they are minions of an agenda
they are not free thinkers, thus they have no capacity to promote such concepts.
we need to take our country back by resetting the entire program.
i hope you address this serious violation of teacher ethics!
