Chris James Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 We expect a lot from the educators in our society. Teachers are supposed to be the ones who give children their first real glimpse at broader knowledge. Certainly more than they can glean from television and Sesame Street. Or maybe they can teach them something ignorant like this: http://www.huffingto..._n_1130333.html The amused reaction of young children to the word "gay" says a lot about how much they really know, or haven't been taught. For them to immediately assume that gay means homosexual precludes the origin of the word as used in this Christmas carol. This was a teachable moment tossed out the window by the ignorance of the teacher. It also says a lot about her ability to teach, or not. Do they give teachers detention? Perhaps a little punishment is in order. Quote Link to comment
JamesSavik Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I'm sorry but a lot of teachers these days are hopeless, clueless and worthless. If there were more like out EleCivil, we wouldn't be seeing this sort of idiocy. Quote Link to comment
