A Michigan school administrator has a message for parents angered by a teacher’s refusal to show President-elect Donald Trump’s inaugural address in class: Take it up with the teacher.

That was the gist of a brief letter posted by Williamston Community Schools Superintendent Narda Murphy on the district website, a day after Explorer Elementary School fourth-grade teacher Brett Meteyer informed parents he would let students watch the ceremony but not Trump’s speech.

As first reported by Watchdog.org, the backlash started Tuesday when a parent shared the teacher’s email with Michigan radio talk show host Steve Gruber, who happens to have kids in the same school district. The email, subsequently posted to Gruber’s Facebook account, stated that since the Trump team had not provided Meteyer with a preview of the speech, he worried about what Trump might say:

“I am anxious about showing Mr. Trump’s inaugural address, given his past inflammatory and degrading comments about minorities, women, and the disabled. I am also uneasy about Mr. Trump’s casual use of profanity, so I sought an assurance that as their teacher, I would not be exposing children to language that would not appear in G- or PG-rated movies.”

Oh Boy oh Boy you Liberal fucksticks are so Toast!

I don't think Trump mentioned that he will overhaul our Schools and pass legislation that any Political tinged language by a teacher will happen in an elective political course.
Otherwise, trying to indoctrinate students will be grounds for immediate firing from your teaching job.
Burn all textbooks made after 2000 on the subject of History before 1995. And reinstate the textbooks that was the Historical consensus for more than two centuries running.

America will never be great again as long as we have the worst people society has to offer America polluting our most impressionable minds with Liberal filth.
Trump knows that!

I would rather my kid watch Donald Trump all day long at school than to listen to just 10 seconds of Liberal filth from their teacher.

How to be a miserable Liberal human being is not learning.

Sounds like two losing choices. I'd go with education, and if the schools not doing that, move them to one that does, or homeschool.
