re: #768 Obdicut

You’re being silly now.

You are being “psychic” by imagining just the kind of teacher I have in mind and how very different he/she would be from your image of the perfect teacher. Then you attack your image of my image. You can continue that discussion on your own, since you apparently don’t need me to keep it going.

On the boy scout quote, I had to cut all of the quotes (including that one) to come in under the word limit. (That’s what those little things called “ellipses” are.) And you did see my intro where I indicated that I had to cut, right?

On the substance of the boy scout issue, you state: “So your entire objection to that entire part about the boy scouts is the word racism, and you’re willing to discard the virtue of the first amendment example given by it in order to concentrate on that word?”

Wrong. My objection is that he could have discussed that valuable first amendment example without calling the boy scouts “racist.” I “disagree” with the teacher using this jab to make his point. Can you follow that? Also, you know full well that the Boy Scout First Amendment case did not involve racism. So don’t give me that “I’d need him to explain it” dodge.

In any event, the bottom line is that you are okay with what this guy says in class because you agree with him on a political and religious level. That makes you a hypocrite. It is people like you on both sides of the political spectrum that are to blame for the majority of the problems we have in this country.

You can have the last word silly man.
