I got on board with this when a friend of mine sent it to me on FB early on, and sent it where ever I could, This guy is the poster child for everything wrong with the left, and hw they poison kids in school with their diatribes. Teachers should be required to only lecture with facts and not opinions which is why the education system is so damn bad and produces the low level of performance they do. Take this to college and then you can understand why we have such poor leadership and management and politicians.

    This wimp teacher could not make it through basic training, which would be good for him. My brothers were military USAF, my nephew was Marine. we were proud of the maturity the sevrice brought to them. This teacher show no such maturity or intelligence. I saw enough garbage presented to our daughter in the 80s, when Clinton pushed outcome based (non) education. It was all indoctrination, that is what teachers today call themselves, "change agents". That means they want to tear down capitalism and implant Marxism. Sickening.

      The maturity thing is one of the reasons employers loved getting senior retired military people. However, even the military today has become more of a political theater than a unit with a mission. My son is a E7 in the Army and says he has to put up with more crap from junior enlisted than ever, because if they are female, a minority, or gay, the military has "protections" and all they have to do is squeal and the senior NCO is screwed, or even tossed out, over the little worm.

    Well, I think it started when we killed the Vocational Schools. I watched it start in Michigan.

    We had kids who could not learn in regular schools. Later on, I would come to realize that they are Kinesthetic, mostly, or have some reading/learning impairments. (Of course, I laughed because school was easy for me. I was hyper visual, with a High IQ, and a great memory. In short, I was an Idiot, and fortunately, not very popular because of my own ADD type issues).

    But these kids used to be placed in GREAT vocational schools. Some learned car repair, welding, etc. They were a handful, and the teachers were often Ex-Military types who would NOT take their BS very far. Very very few female teachers, if any (I can't remember one).

    Many went on to do better than the kids graduating in the top 10 of our class. Owning a plumbing business, etc.

    But somewhere along the way, the great planners said "No. Everyone must be indoctrinated through Higher Education towards Marxism..." And these somewhat unruly kids were foisted back into the classrooms where learning has stopped.

    As I get older and wiser, I realize capitalism really does let everyone find their own place. And more so, when everyone has choices (school choice, vocational schools, etc). And even better when parents are CONNECTED and ACTIVE in the community where feedback is CLOSE to the situation.

    Imagine, as a parent this stark difference:
    1) Kid comes home after FAILING another math/science test, dejected, angry
    2) Kid comes home and says "Mom, I learned how the trap under a sink works in school today. So I applied it to the slow draining bathroom sink... Check it out! I just took it apart, and cleaned it (it was disgusting), and it's like new!"

    Then the mom mentions this at Church... And 2-3 congregation members say "Send him over, I will pay him $25 for each of ours to be cleaned"... And EVERYONE starts winning.

      Agreed. I think another aspect is that teachers rarely have teaching skills and also fall into the union trap of "follow the curriculum" which may or may not even exist. Other schools have the teacher make their own curriculum which opens the door to louts like this to expound on their social philosophy even in a math class. The PTA has also become politicized, along with the school board. In the 80's I butted heads with teachers and districts on their constant issues with my kids and their "failures", being a Master Training Specialist in the Navy I could tell you more about training and curriculum than they wanted to hear. They were incredibly dysfunctional back then, and nothing has improved as it has been an incestuous relationship between teachers and admin, where a teacher wants to grow up to get the big bucks, gets their ticket punched for Masters and PhD, and all of a sudden is "qualified" to run a district. The business experience and training experience needed to successfully run a district is not found in a college.

    I am a Veteran and a High School teacher. I often go off topic and express my opinions. Obviously if I were the one who had been recorded my rant would have been far to the other side of the political fence. While I find this mans statements abhorrent and inappropriate he has the right to his opinion.

    My only suggestion for a fix is that we as an entire culture need to move more to the Right and resume good morals. While many here are not Christian. An adherence to the basic Christian morals and tenants would curb the vast majority of this kind of problem.

      Thank you for your service...

      When I was in high school, my civics teacher was a Mr. Froiland, and World History was Mr. Galerneault - both were also vets and the only shining beacons of conservatism in the Minnesota Public School system. In college, I had this jack@ss of a professor for an inordinate number of classes - Mr. Cecil - he was not only a liberal, he was a delegate to the DNC conventions from the liberal state of Minnesota.. I had only one favorable remark about Cecil, he didn't nuke my class grades because I was a conservative. I fell asleep in a few and I probably earned that B instead of an A.. but he didn't crash me for disagreeing with him on .. well.. everything. I actually caught a glimpse of him on TV at the Bill Clinton nomination, and he was so boring he actually managed to fall asleep in the middle of the DNC party...

      Froiland / Galerneault taught about the world the way it was, not the wishful utopia that all liberals day dream of. There is evil in the world, and it's not always a safe place for democracy. All Cecil could do was bitch about how Reagan should have never beat Jimmy Carter - that he only did because he was a smooth/slick talker and people thought Jimmy was just a hick from Georgia. (Well, Carter was a wimp and a dumb@ss too and we had the 'misery index' .. so there is that.. right?)

      In college I had planned to be an attorney, but the call of the patriotism taught by those 2 conservative teachers kept pulling me, and after finishing school I went off to the Air Force and did my part during the Cold War, Bosnia, Rwanda, the Persian Gulf War (several times) and Korea.

      When you come back from war, there are only a few things that we vets truly have in common - we don't really like to talk about it - the ones that do are probably lying. There are no "Rambo's" - there are people that do our part for God and Country. We have a fearless conviction that starts new businesses, and take on new challenges willingly. Most importantly, we appreciate our homes and where we came from. I have a t-shirt that sums it perfectly, "I didn't fight because I hated those in front of me, I fought because I loved everyone I left behind".

      I often walk through the woods (well, I hunt in the woods), and I'm always thinking about how lucky the US has it - these public lands and forests don't exist in other countries. Other people can't pick up a shotgun and do some pheasant hunting in the afternoon. And - most importantly, "it" does catch up with us. We enter our 50's, and many of us begin to break down physically - too many years of carrying too much of a physical load, too much stress, too much separation from the family, too long of standing guard on a line in the sand, too many knee, shoulder, finger joint, knuckle, and wrist injuries, and too long of standing in solemn attention. While this putz is probably going to his yoga class in his nerdy Subaru station wagon (the most common vehicle in every school faculty parking lot), many of us are soaking our bodies in epsom salt baths every night.

      Keep doing what you do Sir, and don't apologize or hide who you are from your other teachers. If they ostracize you, so be it, but know that for every kid you are able to influence, another one becomes a member of the 3% that guard the lives and liberty of the other 97% like this lazy, cowardly, obnoxious, arrogant shit.

      An opinion is one thing, vitriolic condemnation is another. This guy went way past "In my opinion military service is not good for all candidates" or such. He went whole hog "evil bastards need to die, useless worms idiots, morons, peasants". My math teacher was in WW2, and took many of the pictures at Pearl Harbor as a photographers Mate. He would tell us stories all the time of his experiences. He even gave me a D in Senior Math when I had failed, because he wanted to give me a good send off when I went in the Navy. Great guy.

        I in no way suggested that what this person said was acceptable even as an opinion. Honestly anyone who feels this way about our Soldiers and Veterans is beneath contempt and unworthy of the very oxygen that they breath. Sadly human refuse such as this is protected by the same Constitution that allows us to express our opinions about him. I just hope that his school district sees fit to remove him from his position and more over remove his teaching certificate.

          I was referring to this: " While I find this mans statements abhorrent and inappropriate he has the right to his opinion. " and not suggesting you were believing anything about it, just that I didin't see this dorkasaurus ever being near an "opinion" at all, he went full bore raving lunatic rant on the military, and not even in a logical, fact based way, he illustrated the secret emotional baggage all the liberals seem to have in feeling anything "they" did not do, or even believe in, is automatically evil, twisted and a target of extreme prejudice. All the things they accuse everyone else of being, and they hide.

    I suspect he applied to ROTC when he was a kid and was either turned down with that "dual citizenship" or the feminine lisp in his voice gave him away in the days before "Don't ask, Don't tell", or a veteran kicked his ass in the last mayoral race..

    a waste of ammunition, hanging far more economical.
    As a dumb young Army Sgt I spent 6 months at the US Army Artillery and Missile School in the Radar Maintenance Course. Heavy electronics and 3 different radar sets. Over 930 points scored in the program out of an available 1000 points.Training and education adequate to allow me a successful 30 year career passing my knowledge on to others who desired employment in Electronics related jobs. Rectums like this on were always friendly when they had something that needed repair.

    This made me quite sad. This is in a public school. They're reportedly investigating the kids who recorded it... Things have really gone sideways in America...

    No decorum, pathetic language skills, no rational thought capability.
    That is what the state wants brainwashing young people.
    For all the criticism of Trump, his tweets are a better example of decorum compared to this.

    This reminds me of a lesson I'm teaching my kids. Living in California they are learning that if a teacher is way out of line, asks something that's none of their business...etc., you can and should misdirect them. If a teacher asks if your dad has guns you say, "no". If they ask if you had your flu shot you say, "Oh yes." I don't like it. However, it is teaching my kids something I didn't learn until late in life. Tact. As W might say, "strategery". Is this an important skill? You bet - if you are going to survive in modern, progressive America...

    When I was in the military some forty years ago, many, like myself had either college degrees or even graduate work. Why? At the time there were no openings in the fields we had chosen, starving did not seem to be an option. It was a time of change, often the recruits were much better educated than that of the old military. Since then everything has become highly technical, so much so that I doubt the English teacher, my chosen field, would qualify for many of the jobs now available without extensive reeducation. No doubt he is the product of the protest era which offered no solutions to perceived problems just as the protesters of today can't.

    I wish this liberal twerp could have met my grandfather, my uncle, and my dad. Marines, all. It would have been fun to watch the three of them argue over which one got to kick his ass first.

    Great men, all three of them, All three also gone, and I miss them.

    The problem is that this "teacher" is universal in our school system. They are the product of our very liberal universities. In this context communism is winning - control the educational system - control the country,
    Wonder what would have happened if this teacher would have been on the train to Paris when the three soldiers thwarted the terrorist. He would be singing a different tune if it was his ass that was saved by these soldiers. The teacher is "the lowest of the low" not the military.

    A number of years ago, a Spokane Falls Community College student wrote a scathing article in the schools newspaper, blasting the ignorant and lazy military enlistees.

    Shortly, thereafter, Fairchild Air Force base sent representatives to the school and, I'm told, confiscated all of the newspaper issues that they could. This was followed by a "retraction" by the author that she wasn't referring to veterans of our World Wars (ya, right...), yada, yada. Additionally, the paper's editor (who claims he never even saw the article, before it was printed) was forced to resign (though nothing happened to the author...go figure).

    I even, jokingly (more or less), offered to assist with any punishment that might be conferred upon the author...
