Let me first start by offering congratulations to President Elect Barack Obama. What a history making night it was....
Now on to more local news....
In another show of boards that do not function, take a look at the Mifflin County School Board. Recently a teacher from the Mifflin County School District was featured on an online news paper, The Huffington Post. The school board and school officials have turned a blind eye to this. They are taking the don't do anything approach. They are taking the same reactive approach the Mifflin County Police Board did.
The teacher apparently showed a right wing propaganda movie to her students. She then allegedly told them that this is what could happen if Barack Obama were elected. Well this is a teacher, someone to be fair and free of bias in the classroom. A person that should shed personal opinion at the door. She took a learning opportunity for her students and simply turned her head the pother way. WHAT IS THIS BOARD DOING?? Can they not control their employees? Are they afraid of the teachers union? Do they not have the courage to act? By simply not acting, we know the answers to all of these questions... Hopefully this board does the right thing before it is to late. Agree or disagree with her politics, students should be shown all sides of the story...
What does the board decide???? Let's wait until it is time the public finds out before we do anything...
To read the post about the lack of judgment by the teacher copy and paste the link below... Feel free to share reaction by leaving a comment.
