Speech Police D-bags

The administration of Overland High School in Aurora, Colorado takes the D-bag honors for today. Jay Bennish, an American History teacher at the school was suspended Thursday for violating a school policy that requires "balanced viewpoints" in the classroom.
One of Bennish's students tape recorded a portion of class discussing Bush's state of the union address and played the tape for his father, who complained to the administration. Some comments were made in the discussion comparing Bush to Hitler. This suspension has nothing to do with "balanced viewpoints" and everything to do about the comments that Bennish made about the President. This suspension also rewards smart-ass kids who record classroom lectures and discussions. Bad Idea. My bumbling and inept attempts to contact Mr. Bennish for comment were a failure. Read more here.
