re: Teacher Fired For Using Confederate Flag Accurately in History Class

quote:

---

teacher told administratorsthat statement was made in the context Southerners would respond to people who went to the South to promote equal rights for African-Americans. He said the Southerners would respond, “We treat them all equally. We hang them.”

Let's assume this is the accurate story, and that seems quite plausible anyways.

So you think it's appropriate to tell students that, "Southerners viewed equality as hanging them all?" So he essentially generalized an exteme viewpoint to the Southerners; now that sounds like ignore liberal indoctrination.

Beyond that, as a History Teacher, he thinks of that then, you know, a major historical movement and the whole idea of Seperate But EQUAL. That's just terrible teaching.

But I understand your commitment to half-truths. Carry on.

You link an article which:

1. Doesn't spell his name right (can't Google him for more information unless the name is correct.)
2. Doesn't provide any link or citation to the local stories, even though their briefly mentioned.
3. Doesn't include information about a related incident and complaint two months earlier.

Talk about half-truths.
