Let&#039;s see you put your money where your mouth is.  If you have any credibility, then you should argue the opposite position yourself on this issue.

Trent, 

I would love to see your comments arguing instead why this teacher is wrong and should be fired for abusing her postion, forpushing  her personal political idealogy, for abusing her power as a teacher and intimidating the student who place their academic grades in her hands.

Put up or shut up.

Thank you.]]></description>

&quot;I don’t see the problem here&quot;

&quot;. . . ordered her students to wear ribbons in support of gay rights and said those who supported the traditional definition of marriage are just “uneducated bigots” who “attack homosexuals with hate,”

&quot;If I were the teacher I’d require the students who support the position to argue the opposite and vise versa.&quot;

&quot;The students were also barred from defending or explaining any other views regarding homosexual conduct, . . &quot;

&quot;When students objected to how she was pushing her personal views on the class, she explained that it is her job ‘to educate the ignorant and uneducated elements of society,’ that oppose this movement’s demands and to correct their ‘hateful and close-minded’ views”]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t see the problem here. If I were the teacher I&#039;d require the students who support the position to argue the opposite and vise versa. I had a writing class where I was required to argue against abortion in all circumstances.. The lecturer wrote &quot;see me&quot; on the paper. When I went to see him I was asked what my personal position was on the subject. I think it was the lack of bible verses that tipped him off that the argued position wasn&#039;t my personal position. I said something to the effect of &quot;that you even need to ask says more to me than the high grade you gave me, thanks.&quot;

If you can&#039;t argue someone else&#039;s position, or even understand it, then you can&#039;t argue and deserve a failing grade.]]></description>
