Yes it's a fraud. All countries are based on belief. All belief is fraud.Kayla wrote:my math teacher decided to spend todays class expounding on his views on politics and history instead of doing any math which is fine with me
but given the controversial views he expresses sometimes he is bound to get himself fired one day
i know todays rant offended some people
he said that the very narrative of usa founding is a load of lies
the revolution was supposedly a tax revolt right
but one of the first acts of the new government was imposition of new taxes - and brutal suppression of a resulting revolt - such as the whiskey rebellion - because of course the new government had to pay france a lot of money
so at the end only the ruling elites benefited from the revolution - everyone else just had to pay more taxes
so basically it was all a big scam

It is a non-issue. Let us suppose that America was founded on "fraud," whatever that means for a nation that was dedicated to slavery and took its moral "high-ground" from a slave-owning rapist, so? What does it matter? Is America today somehow tainted by such past acts? Isn't this an example of the irrational halo effect from neuroscience?
It is pure random chance where a person is born. Being an American is no more accurate in reality than calling oneself a British citizen, Irish citizen, Australian, etc. These are all fictional concepts, having as much to do with reality as invisible dragons in a garage. People are real, nations are fiction. People are responsible for their own acts, not for the history of a fictional nation. So, what was his point?

Offering challenging views to students ought to be the bread and butter of classroom activities.
If the teacher wants to teach history, political science, philosophy, or similar subjects, then he should sign a contract to teach those subjects. Instead, he agreed to teach a course in math, and ended up wasting time on other matters having nothing to do with the subject. He could even start some after school social club to discuss his conception of history and politics after hours, and speak to those students who are interested in what he has to say. Instead, he took money to teach math and did something else instead. If you think that is honorable, moral, and a sign of being a good teacher, then I think you have some explaining to do.chaz wyman wrote:You have a moribund and blinkered view of what the job of a teacher is.SecularCauses wrote:Why does a math teacher think he is entitled to get paid to teach math while teaching nonsense instead?Kayla wrote:my math teacher decided to spend todays class expounding on his views on politics and history instead of doing any math which is fine with me
