DC teacher has sixth-graders compared George Bush to Adolf Hitler:

A public school teacher in Washington instructed sixth-graders to compare former President George W. Bush to Adolf Hitler and still has her job.

I wonder if she would have compared Obama to some villainous dictator if she would still be on the payroll? We all know the answer to that.

Let’s face it; everyone has the right to their own opinion but especially people in the teaching capacity should be a little more discrete about sharing their personal opinions.

As good or bad as the president of the USA is, I believe that there is a certain amount of respect that goes with the office and discretion should be used publicly.

D.C. Public Schools Chancellor Kaya Henderson responded to the controversy late Wednesday on Twitter, saying no curriculum intended to make the comparison “in any way” and that the district and unidentified teacher are “deeply apologetic” about the matter. Henderson said the teacher has been ordered to apologize to the class.
You know what I say to that statement.   wash.
