Students Walk Out Over Teacher's Suspension for Anti-Bush Comments


I recently asked a relative of mine if they had any thoughts on why Philosophy and/or Critical Reasoning courses aren't taught in American high schools (to be fair, I'm sure there are a few out there). His response included the idea that most communities probably wouldn't support it, solely because people would worry too much about what was being taught to their kids-- like witchcraft, or some other kind of satanic, brainwashing, esoteric fountain of ungodly pedagogy.

Updates: Here's a transcript of the segment of the lecture in question.
