Children of soldiers being sent to Gulf being hassled by teachers...
...who are saying that their parents are being sent to an unjust war. -FOX news.

This is occuring across Maine according to the report.

I treat anything from Fox News as immediately suspect, but this is terrible if it is true.

Even worse : they are hassled by Fox news who is telling them they are being sent to a just war

Rhethorics aside, I wonder how it is worse to hassle children because their parents will die for imperialism, rather than hassling them because their parents will die defending the Land of the Free.
Except that Fox news will probably show the latter as exemplary patriotism from the teachers.

I agree wholeheartedly with you Lancer. I hope these teachers will stop now. And I hope other teachers won't find this idea sooo revolting they'll hassle their own pupils the patriotic way in return.

Imran : isn't everything that comes from a major network immediately suspect ?

Also, since we're covering the basics here, hassling children about geopolitics or the war their parents are about to fight is very wrong.

Imran, that's right. CNN is so biased it makes me sick...

Since FOX has twice the viewers I guess I'm not alone.

That's SOOO not true. I seem to remember Ming shooting you down for asserting that.

I think you may mean that CNN has 2x as many viewers.

It would be interesting to see the comparison. Hmm. Maybe worldwide, but US?

Lancer :
I do NOT hope for American parents to die. I do NOT prefer a dead American to a dead Iraqi, or the other way around. Death of people is the worst that can happen, especially when they're essential to their family (whether elderly, wive or kids).
I oppose the war strictly for these reasons, because I don't think the imperialistic interests of the Bush admin is worth all the dramas and tears they will cost.
Both to the American people and to the Iraqi people.

No, US... and CNN killed Fox News.

It was just O'Reilly and maybe one other show that beat CNN in the same time slot. Everything else is dominated by CNN, and these would be US numbers.

I'm possitive that these children were not being harrassed. The teacher was probably just saying to the class that there is some doubt to the justification for war and the child took it the wrong way. I would be suprised if a teacher singled out a kid and attacked his or her parents in front of the class. These kinds of misunderstandings happen.

I don't know why people say CNN is biased. Perhaps inaccurate, perhaps fairly dry. But in terms of favoring policies of Democrats or Republicans I don't think there is any real noticeable bias.

They are not being hassled, the teachers are just using their right to free speach! How they do is not of importance....

It seems you missed my sarcastic remark that hinted back to a earlier debate about the crowd at a womens basketball game where the audience where verbally assualting a player that faced away from the flag during the anthem. As this behavoir is considerd in perfect order for some around here why shouldn't this?
