This video was not just about exposing the pro-McCain child to ridicule - it was about the affect that ridicule 1) had on the other children - that they too would be exposed to same if they were to select a republican candidate. and 2)teachers should never call a war in which we are involved "senseless" which serves to ridicule and thus degrade the morale of all men and women who volunteered to be involved in the defense of our nation and to save others from tyranny. She and any other teacher who held similar classroom indoctrinations should be removed immediately. The parents may certainly forgive the teacher, but the public interest is at heart here and teachers may not do the country such harm.
