Today a random teacher talked about Obama’s address yesterday. He said that it was the first time that he heard a president talk about education in the past 8 years. That is not true, one of Bush’s major issues was education, to say something like that shows complete ignorance. Also at one point a kid started talking about Obama’s recent dealings with Gaza. The teacher’s reaction was very odd he passionately argued that Obama would never give anything to Hamas and refused to believe what Obama is currently doing even when showed news stories about in the New York Times.
My teacher’s reaction is kind of scary, if he represents the average American then his lack on knowledge of what is happening and his blind faith in Obama makes me really scared for the future.
Additionally it is completely inappropriate for a non-humanities teacher to talk about politics in class.
