Dr. Strangelove reinstated

Posted by Moonage on 10 Mar 2006 | Tagged as: Shock and Awe

A high school teacher who was placed on leave after comparing President Bush’s State of the Union address to speeches by Adolf Hitler has been reinstated without any loss of pay, his attorney and school officials said Friday.

Officials declined to say whether social studies instructor Jay Bennish faced disciplinary action, but his attorney, David Lane, said Bennish would be back in the classroom Monday "with full pay."

Now, ya gotta understand, comparing Bush’s speech to Hitler was not the only bizarre thing Bennish did.  He basically blamed the US for the creation of Israel as a means of having a military foothold in the Middle East among other bizarre statements.  This is what the kids of Denver are being taught as "social studies".  How are they to know that, according to Bennish, this is purely hypothetical and not the history he’s supposed to be teaching?

Regardless of the ACLU threatened lawsuit, the kids are the #1 issue here.  They are the ones getting screwed by being taught it’s OK to say anything regardless of your position.  It doesn’t even have to be right.

Whatever happened to readin’, writin, and rithmatic?  What was so wrong with the education Einstein got?

Bennish is a jerk.  All he’s teaching his kids is it’s OK to be a jerk.  What he’s not doing is preparing them for the realities of life.

Bad move Cherry Creek School District.  Very bad move.  He abused his position and should have paid the consequences for it.  The kids you guys were charged with protecting are the victims here.
