Goldenrod — I am absolutely aware that this is an area in which I should tread cautiously. Not sure, yet, how I’ll approach it. Sigh…

EdT — She tells me that she finds politics “boring”. AC says exactly the same thing — and I felt exactly the same way at her age. (Heck, I felt the same way 6 months ago, too!)

Just curious… is the teacher’s last name Rove?

I’m thinking this kid needs to wake up and pay attention in History. You might remind her that “Those who fail to learn History are doomed to repeat it.”

I suggest that you might want to take into consideration the amount of TV AC’s friend has been watching, particularly episodes where teachers are taken to task for actually promoting such inaccuracies/bigotry/historical revisionism.

Please don’t get me wrong here. I am not in “automatic defense” stance of a teacher who would say such a thing in front of a classroom of impressionable young people. Quite the contrary … I would tread lightly in my investigation, tho.

As you said, “Kids say the darndest things!”
