The barking moonbats of World Can’t Wait would like you to sign a petition in favor of Jay Bennish, the high school teacher caught on tape in a crazed anti-American rant: World Can’t Wait | Drive Out the Bush Regime. (Hat tip: John.)

The firing of Bennish would represent a step toward a future where electronic surveillance and fear are classroom norms, where adherence to public policy is mandatory and dissenters whisper behind closed doors in fear of a network of informants and spies. If people can remain silent as a public school teacher is spied on, and on that basis is suspended and could face firing for telling the truth to his students about the horrors being committed by their government, what will it take for people to step out? That which you will not resist and mobilize to stop, you will learn — or be forced — to accept.
