Please. When did common sense disappear? We are human beings living together in this country. Just care about each other. Teach our students true history, math, literature, science, art, music and so on.  Stop lowering standards in the classroom. Inspire the students to strive for excellence. Some of the things you are wasting so much time on have no place in the class room. I was a teacher at one time. It is a hard, but rewarding job. I cared about all of my students. They needed to know I cared about each one of them. They did NOT need me to "teach" them to judge, and possibly hate, each other.
