Whatever you do, don't make the teacher's opinion on Obama, or even that he is being discussed in the class the issue. No problems with the opinion, and the current president has a place in discussions in schools.

I would first want to know the goal behind the lesson, and discuss the plan for teaching about other presidents. If there is no plan, that could be an issue. I would also wonder how she handled the follow-up on her statement that he should be allowed to run again. Hopefully she explained why he can't and why the reason he can't is a good policy.

and to think my dad was worried 20 years ago that people would be calling Bill Clinton the greatest president ever.

Bill Clinton is our Ronald Reagan.

Obama is our Taft.

Ask the teacher if he's so great then why are:

guns are still legal

cops are still murdering black people

we still involved in at least two wars in the middle east

gitmo is still operational

unemployment still hasn't gotten down to the level he promised it will be by 2011 when he was running in 2008

he has killed more innocent people in the ME than Bush ever did

ad infinitum.

I can recall teachers specifically stating they would not give opinions on history. "Captive audience" I recall his term.

This was in the early 90's when very little was going on. Pre first Iraq war. Pre LA riots.

Can't say shite like that. You're a teacher. Should just be trying to help make decent people. Not decent liberals or conservatives. That's for their parents to frick up.

He got stuck in a bathtub?

My concern is with the statement "he should be allowed to run again." That tells me the teacher is an idiot regardless of her politics and doesn't understand the Constitution and shouldn't be teaching anyone anything about government.

Probably not. It reads like a Facebook meme meant to incite paranoia about how the liberal agenda is attacking our families.

The fact that this happaned in LP will rustle so many parents jimmies.

Let it go man.

Edit: and I guarantee that if a teacher had said Reagan was one of our greatest preisedents, you would not have a problem. In fact, you'd probably want to buy himmkenher a beer.

Hey Mr. Paranoid.
Those test questions are from a passage students read. They choose answers based on what was stated in the passage. It is very common for students to read about whoever the current preisedent is.

In 4th grade in art class we had to do a portrait of someone and I did it of Bill Clinton dressed up as bozo the clown

I got my name written on the clipboard and had to go to the principal's office.

This. No sense telling your kids that their teacher is wrong or stupid or anything negative really.
