[NEWS] Anti-Annoying Orange HW assignment given to 11-yr-old in NYC, father of kid upset
e-maxx:
politics in civics/goverment/history class = good
politics in other subjects = bad
McZealot:
Politics is an integral part of American democracy just as how Religion is an integral part of daily life and to reject the very education to instill an understand of either is a ridiculous standard that will fail to prepare students for life as a citizen--which, is the entire purpose of school.
We read books like Fahrenheit 451 and 1984 in English. We read about national socialist-ism and learn about the birth of Islam in History. Are you guys seriously telling me these fundamental concepts are a bad thing?
Trogtor:
except thats not unbiased the slightest

I'm getting a little tired of this ridiculous politically-motivated news spam in Off-Topic. I wish we had a second board for 'News' where this garbage could go and keep Off-Topic more focused on personal life and other stuff.
