Another Lefty Teacher Abusing Student Rights

I could put up a story each day with some variation on this theme: liberals misusing their position to push their political views. And teachers, who have a captive audience, provide some of the most egregious examples.

BREITBART.COM - Vt. Teacher Accused of Anti-Bush Quiz: A high school teacher is facing questions from administrators after giving a vocabulary quiz that included digs at President Bush and the extreme right.
Bret Chenkin, a social studies and English teacher at Mount Anthony Union High School, said he gave the quiz to his students several months ago. The quiz asked students to pick the proper words to complete sentences.
One example: 'I wish Bush would be (coherent, eschewed) for once during a speech, but there are theories that his everyday diction charms the below-average mind, hence insuring him Republican votes.' 'Coherent' is the right answer.
Principal Sue Maguire said she hoped to speak to whomever complained about the quiz and any students who might be concerned. She said she also would talk with Chenkin. School Superintendent Wesley Knapp said he was taking the situation seriously.
'It's absolutely unacceptable,' Knapp said. 'They (teachers) don't have a license to hold forth on a particular standpoint.'
