First of all, do we really want our children indoctrinated and brainwashed on political matters at the 10th grade level? Second, if the answer is that yes kids should get an early dose of political reality, then shouldn't what is taught actually be reality? Jay Bennish is just another leftist hack who has been feeding his students garbage. Not only did he completely reinterpret the President's State of the Union speech, but in other parts of his presentation, he just outright lied.

Jay Bennish BDS sufferer
(Hat tip: Little Green Footballs)
Not only is he unhinged, he’s wrong too.
You’ve probably heard about the anti-American rant by Colorado geography teach Jay Bennish. Jay has been suspended, rightfully so in my mind, for his wholly inappropriate diatribe against the US. It used to be that we taught students to be good citizens; now we don’t even teach them the facts.
Michelle Malkin has transcribed the majority of the rant for us, so let’s look at some the statements that Jay makes.
Statement: “For over 30 years, America has had soldiers fighting in Colombia in a civil war.”
Fact: US military involvement in Colombia began in the 1980's.
Statement: “Who buys cocaine? Not Bolivians. Not Peruvians. Americans! Why are we destroying the farmers' lives when we're the ones that consume that good.”
Fact: Bolivian and Peruvians smoke coca paste.
Statement: "Who is the world's largest producer of cigarettes and tobacco? The United States!"
Fact: China is the largest, followed by India and Brazil. Depending on how you measure it, the largest tobacco company is either Phillip Morris, BAT, or China National. Brazil is the largest exporter.
Statement:“What part of our country grows all our tobacco? Anyone know what states in particular? Mostly what's called North Carolina.“
Fact: North Carolina is responsible for 37% of the tobacco grown in the US. [CONT'D. HERE]

UPDATE: According to Fox News (11:00 am, PST) Bennish WILL NOT file a Federal law suit. The school district has lifted the gag order on him, so he can now speak out on his own behalf.
