Chas,<br><br>Fair enough. If I had two cents on it, I would say during my meager two years of school, I did happen to see, on a couple of occasions, in which teachers mentioned who "we" should vote for. Also, these students that I mentioned before are not your stereotypical teeniebopper gang. More like 25-30 year old citizens with kids. Exaggeration is not likely. Also comments made on film cannot be exaggerated. But what the hell do I know. <br><br>Anywho, reality speaks and if I catch anyone doing this crap I will report this . Teachers need to teach and nothing more. <br><br>MD<br><br>> Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2008 23:16:19 -0700<br>> From: chasuk@gmail.com<br>> To: mattd2107@hotmail.com<br>> CC: vision2020@moscow.com<br>> Subject: Re: [Vision2020] Diverse teachings<br>> <br>> On Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 22:58, Matt Decker <mattd2107@hotmail.com> wrote:<br>> <br>> > With the upcoming election discussions about politics are at a fevered pace.<br>> > We all know how emotions can come into the race, but of course try to<br>> > restrain.
