[QUOTE="ChrisB, post: 997397, member: 122"] I'm a long way from Texas and this is the first I've heard about this, but after a few minutes searching the internet it seems like some people are making a big deal over nothing. A teacher asking if there were any volunteers that would like to put a berka on doesn't sound like a big deal to me. And the other incident I looked into concerning the Boston Tea Party sounded like an interesting way to get kids to look at things from another perspective. I would guess the same people that are upset over the berka incident because of what the berka represents are the same people that get upset when the Confederate flag or a cross is removed from a public area because of what it represents. Also, I would guess the people upset with kids looking at the Tea Party through the eyes of the British would be totally fine with an assignment asking the kids to look at the Cival War through the eyes of a plantation owner. I personally have no problem with my kids considering another perspective or even questioning their beliefs, the thing that bothers me though is that usually in schools and in the media only the liberal side is presented. I think it is better to know why you believe something and be able to defend those beliefs than to simply be presented one side and be told this is the way it is and what you need to believe. Rip away! :tiphat: [/QUOTE]
