Teacher Suspended Over Classroom Lecture

A teacher at Overland High School as been placed on paid leave following complaints that he violated school policy on providing both sides of an issue.

Jay Bennish, the teacher in question, has definite left-leaning ideas and a student in his class secretly taped his comments on his MP3 and gave them to his dad who sent or took the recording to a local radio talk show.

Predictably, the right is cheering, some calling for his firing. Michelle Malkin in her usual sensitive way described it this way: "Bush-bashing, capitalism-hating high school teacher's screeching diatribe." She also said he needs "medical help."

The left is protesting the violation of his right to free speech.

Just another example of the polarization of America following the installation of a "uniter, not a divider" in the White House.
