That's really shitty of them. There have only been 44 Presidents and only 54 inaugurations in our nations history. A person only gets to see a few of them. to rob your students of that opportunity is a dick move.

I saw Bill Clinton's first one in school. Missed all the others.

By the way, the writer of that article, is notorious for inaccurate information and poor conclusions to fit his own bias; he's the worst writer at Fox.
And if we're understandably criticizing the NYT's Perry article because of one source's speculation, then how can people not criticized an article whose primary source is a girl who posted on Facebook and her mother?
Like most of Starnes' articles, he didn't actually get the other side's story (maybe the girl was told she has to do her SCHOOL work in SCHOOL). That's just terrible journalism, even if it's disguised as an opinion piece.

Everyone of them should be fired.

Even so, what if they did that for Obama too? I mean in the middle of the 9/11 attacks, I still had to complete work in some classes (not my History class though). And that was a far more historically signicant day than an inauguration.

whether you are happy about it or not) should be watched to honor and support the president of The United States of America (no matter who it is)
Oh frick that. Like this board supported Obama.

Obviously not - if it's verified.

Yes, more historically significant, but not specified in the Constitution and something you can put on your calendar 4 years in advance.

So 1 school has "banned" it?
You might want to fix your title......but that would ruin the circle jerk.
Carry on..

This isn't the Grammys. And, if a kid is in Kindergarten in an inauguration year - he's going to have, what, 4 inaugurations at most.
I can even see skipping one if a guy is re-elected. But, part of our problem is that we want to eschew all the things that make our culture unique (and superior). This is one of those things.

I've even been showing Senate confirmation hearings. It was a first for me to get to watch them.
During the Obama inauguration, I had students ask me if I voted for Obama. When I replied no, they asked why I was watching. I told them it is a historical event, and like it or not. He is the president. We as a nation have forgotten to teach our kids to lose with dignity.
Well done sir.

There's apparently a group setting up a jumbotron in the quad tomorrow for viewing, should be pretty damn interesting.

When we grew up and went to school
There were certain teachers
Who would hurt the children in any way they could
By pouring their derision
Upon anything we did
Exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids
But in the town it was well known
When they got home at night
Their fat and psychopathic wives would thrash them
Within inches of their lives
We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teacher, leave those kids alone
Hey, teacher, leave those kids alone
All in all, it's just another brick in the wall
All in all, you're just another brick in the wall

I worked for one the largest oil & gas companies in the world. The company and majority of employees didn't support Odama. Both of Obama's inaugurations were broadcast on company TVs and there were even gathering to honor the moment.

Students at Independence High School in Williamson County, Tennessee, will not be allowed to watch President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration during class on Friday.
Probably because...
They are in school?

Things like this is the reason young people have zero respect for authority. I would pull my kid out of school and let him watch it at home and give him a brief history lesson.
