All of the teachers we spoke with agreed that their political beliefs should not shape classroom discussions.

But their personal experiences and teaching philosophies have informed their approaches to tough subjects like identity, representation and inequality.

I find it very disturbing that republican voters are being manipulated in this fashion relative to education and history.

Trumps been exposed for his alley in Russia all these republicans should stop there yapping now? don't they see what damage has to be cleaned up behind this leak? This only proves how power can destroy anyone wnything especially a movement if one cannot stay humble during reign....how the weak minded followers cannot see obvious demise.

The NYT isn’t a newspaper of record anymore.  It ranks right under the national enquirer.

All that investigation and all they could find was a guy who didn’t pay taxes on a few perks from a company.  This is nothing more than going after waiters for not paying enough on their tips.

That's a ridiculous comparison.  Shrugs.  He broke the law and he's getting a light sentence, in my opinion. He must have given the prosecutors something that they wanted, in my view.

Sure.

So you believe that Trump and his people are just consistently sloppy rather than dishonest?  It's all just a mistake.  Okay.

The IRS just got funded to prosecute the wealthy tax cheats in addition to the working class tax cheats that they usually prosecute.

Thanks for sharing how awful that the same people who hired her for her opinions are now against her want to erase her for opposing majority isn't that what good writers do? They are suppose to ignite debates and promote conversations to be dealt with in respectful way. If she is innocent as she claims why is she resigning? Thats lame to come so far then quit? Someone make me understand this
