"Yeah, Teachers Suck"

 I saw this in a comment on a so-called news site. 

It seems that one of the commenters was upset that the local high school government teacher included a lesson on Communism, Marxism in their lesson. 

Many agreed saying that " Including the lesson on Communism must mean they are a Marxist." 

Hell, I covered Communism in the lesson on " Isms." Along with Fascism,( Which the commenters seemed to be okay with)   Socialism, Democrat-ism, Republicanism, Monarchism......etc, etc.....

And I didn't say one was better than the next. 

Never. 

And the next semester I taught a pretty capitalism heavy class, economics.

Hell, the word Marxist has come to mean anything some else disagrees with. Never mind the person they disagree with is often a Capitalist. 

While the commenters all said, we should "Just present the material." We should say that "Capitalism is superior to all others." 

Huh? What happened to just " Present the material?" 

You know, I wonder if I could teach today because I made both sides of the political spectrum in this nation look bad, especially presidents. 

You know, I literally do not know what people want. 

I have people who think that somehow I am a wild eyed liberal from the blog. 

I have people who think I am a reactionary conservative, also from the blog.  

The older I get, the more I wonder who the hell is going to teach school? 

You may think so, but not everyone in the community feels the same way you do either politically.....or concerning religion. ( And that disturbed me at Buna more than anything. Not everyone is Baptist, or Pentecostal or even Methodist, Mormon, CofC, or Catholic.....You would be amazed at how many are agnostic or atheist. But you acted like people were all Christian. Whether they wanted to be or not. And religion was crammed down non-Christian's throats. It was shocking. )

 I don't know, I keep waiting, someday this mess is going to bust wide-open and I wonder what will become of us?
