A public school teacher told her students "Republicans are stupid." Info Post Shubhangi 6:46 AM No Comment What's the worst part of that?The worst part about a teacher saying "Republicans are stupid" is...She should not take a partisan position in class.As a model of how to speak, she should never call anyone "stupid."She should model high-level critical thinking, not simplistic conclusions.She made it seem acceptable to impose a stereotype on a societal group.She disrespected persons of below-average intelligence, some of whom may be in the class.She made students feel cowed about expressing opinions, lest they be regarded as dumb.She should be teaching something substantive, not wasting class time on politics. pollcode.com free polls Share: Facebook Twitter Google+ StumbleUpon Digg Delicious LinkedIn Reddit Technorati
