Given some of the stories we've seen, on this board and elsewhere, of teachers or college professors assigning their students "liberal propaganda," not to mention the multiple incidences of teachers so ignorant of basic decency as to fuck their students, it isn't inconceivable that this teacher knew exactly what he was doing and is only now, having gotten caught, claiming ignorance of the contents of the letter.
I'd actually considered that when I was scanning the initial story. If that's the case this man's an ass. If that's what he wanted, he should have encouraged the kids to write to parlament, not some random soldier with no control over the situation.
And that's excluding the fact that he, as an educator, should remain neutral on the issue and allow the kids to form thier own opinions. He is not there to force an agenda, just to present the facts. In a situation like this, with valid arguments on both sides of the issue, it can't be too hard to maintain a balance in the presentation.
If karma's a bitch, it will be my bitch!
