Everyone has an agenda of some sort. It's hard to get away from.
I spent hours upon hours listening to my teachers spread political agendas. Mostly about education and how wonderful the NDP are.
Unless these kids are mindless robots. it shouldn't matter. They can think for themselves. Well I would hope at the highschool level they would be able to.
Like others have said before. It should have been an option for these kids. If the class really didn't want to see it. Then they would have walked out. But if they were forced, then that disgusting and the teacher should be punished.

A) I really couldn't care about the Canadian public school system, nor do I know anything about it. If you had any complaints at the time, you should have spoken up either to your parents, teachers, or administrators.
B) Kids are kids at the end of the day and if they are going to school to learn history, math, science, art I expect them to learn just that. They can have interactions on their own time. They can play sports. The can do debate. They can join Communist clubs. The can discuss this with their friends. Pushing a political agenda is not OK on the part of administrators and teachers however, just like it isn't with religion.
C) And at the end of the day, these teachers no longer are there and parents and others have made their voices heard. Too bad you couldn't accept that - probably since it brings back ill memories of your high school experience where supposedly they pushed a political agenda on you and you did nothing.
