Police said McVey became upset when she heard some students at Gaithersburg High School, who were being assisted by another teacher, practicing a speech and using some Arabic words. The Washington Post said she reacted after overhearing the group utter an Islamic greeting of peace. Charging documents allege McVey shouted, "Islam doesn't mean peace, it means killing everyone for peace" and "Because of you, our families died in New York!" It's not known if anyone who heard the remarks is Muslim. Authorities said McVey went to the school office to express her displeasure about the speech and the assisting teacher and was told by the principal that her services were no longer needed at the school. Police said she refused to leave and was escorted from the school by the educational facilities officer. While being escorted from the building, McVey allegedly yelled at a Hispanic teacher about the inappropriateness of speaking to students in languages other than English.

If so, I'd say quite the opposite. 772316[/snapback] Bluefire, where do you go to school? I attend Hudson Valley Community College and i hear nonsense like that all the time. I had a history teacher for History of the 20th Century, and he firmly believed that Bush "tore" the towers down so that he could start a war with Iraq and complete his father's legacy. They published a story on MSNBC the other day about how Bush was behind 9-11. The fact of the matter is that Democrats have been doing this for years. They stack the school system full of people with liberal/hippie belief, and then they teach the idea that Republicans are bad people and that they are behind all that is wrong in the world. For example they talk about American Conservatism and then they say something along the lines of Bin Laden is a radical Conservative and all this other crap, thus tying Republicans in with terrorists. In my first semester at HVCC, i had an African American in my class who defended the Republican political stand point on an issue, and my English teacher simply replied "If anybody should be Deocratic in this room it should be you." That is an English teacher! She some how always diverted conversations into political nonsense. In the public school system, at both the collegate, and high school levels; teachers villanize Republicans day in and day out. As a result of this, people with even a mind that leans conservative but have some beliefs that are liberal, they don't open their mouths, thus resulting in lower grades because they don't participate in classroom discussion. How the !@#$ is a kid supposed to actively participate if every word out of their mouth is going to be disputed? Then liberals can come up with "interesting" statistics like "All the people who are smart in school are liberal." To close, i reference a quote from Russell Baker's piece entitled "School vs. Education". This piece and many pieces written in the local newspaper support my theory. After graduation: "Afterward, the former student's destiny is fulfilled, his life rich with Oriental carpets, rare porcelain, and full bank accounts, he may one day find himself with the leisure and the inclination to open a book with a curious mind, and start to become educated." -Boondock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
