So who did he not vote for?
Can't you read? He said "(so and so)" .
I didn't vote for them either.
There's times I miss 88GT, then threads like these remind of why I don't miss her.

Set the 'Way Back Machine' to when I was in grade school. On the big bulletin board in the school cafeteria was the Goldwater v Johnson contest. This kind of stuff has been going on for ever, nothing really new.
No offense chaps, but if your kid's political views are solidified by a substitute teacher, you're not doing your job as a parent.
That's not to say the concerns aren't valid, only that we as parents have much more exposure to our children. As a Dad, I have the responsibility and opportunity to teach my children critical thinking skills.
It's not a responsibility I take lightly.
Amen to that!It should be against the law for a unionized public servant to "teach" their political opinion.
I recall having a similar experience in the late 80'sWhen I was in 4th Grade, we had a mock election- this was 1980. Carter trounced Reagan in Mrs. Williams' class. Myself and a few right minded kids were Reagan supporters.
By 6th grade, there was some kind of anti-nuke, pro-disarmament movement in the school encouraged by many teachers. As I recall, I was the only pro-nuke kid to be found. had the country followed this dim-witted path, the early '90s would have been vastly different in eastern Europe.

For the adults, I'll place a different challenge here: There is a quiz located at The BBHQ Great American Civics Quiz that I'd like to see how people do completing. You are on the honor system that you won't look up answers to artificially inflate your scores. Be aware that this quiz has some very easy and some very difficult questions. (ETA: and one wrong answer as well, at this writing.)
Blessings,

Misread 1900s as 1990s (and answered zero), and disagree with them on question 10 (Congress does have the authority to overrule the Supreme Court, by sending an Amendment to the Constitution to the states to be ratified).For the adults, I'll place a different challenge here: There is a quiz located at The BBHQ Great American Civics Quiz that I'd like to see how people do completing.

#23 is wrong. The U.S. does have its own supply of money.
The government does not, however. The "Federal Reserve Bank" is not a government entity, as you know. Further, if the gov't had its own supply of money, why would they need to continue to take OUR money, which we have to work to earn?

I submit that doing so is functionally identical to proselytizing for their religion.
