We did a mock United Nations when I was in 9th grade. Terrific learning experience and a lot of fun. Posting on youtube is a OTT but I think kids in high school should be educated on politics they can vote at 18 after all.

It's not a strange choice for teenage boys.

According to reports, the teacher had the students studing about Obama only. That's why it is being questioned.

If what I've heard on the Baisden radio show was correct, the teen boys in this class were troubled, and the teacher was trying to get them motivated. Some believed that because of their backgrounds, and race that they were destined to be criminals--so by using Obama as an example of hope(instead of a ball players or rapper)they might feel encouraged to dream...

White people dream, too.
Naw, just kidding, I see what you are saying.
The video is still stupid, though.

I don't think teachers should try to push their political views or who they see as a better candidate onto their students.
Students need to form their own opinions.

SS, I love Baisden. And especially when he goes, OHHHHHHHH! after he says something funny.

It's Pleasure Principle Thursday after all.
