Reading some of my previous posts you could understand that i'm not the biggest George Bush fan in the world. However reading this article made me so angry.

It's not the fact that a play has been made satirizing the Bush administration (there have been hundreds) but rather that a teacher has manipulated the minds of his students to prove a political point.
The student performance piece Bad Knight II, conceived by Davidson High School teacher Kim Peade and featuring students as young as 12.
Students are being manipulated by this teacher simply to make a political statement. According to the Rock Eisteddfod website, the students should be learning skills such as Health, Life Skills and Creative Thinking however all they're being taught is what the teacher wants them to think. I'm very much against teacher's bias affecting their students. School's should be about encouraging debate between classes in order for students to make up their own mind but it seems that at Davidson the faculty tell the kids what to think. Someone, please call Child Welfare.
