As a former teacher, my students has similar reactions. In the LA public schools though, the first reaction of many teachers was to ascertain WHY they hate us? Do we meddle in their affairs? Did we have it coming because we support Israel, the lone democracy in the region? Were Bush and his oil buddies just looking to get rich? Sadly, with all obvious evidence showing who the evil perpetrators were, left wing educators looked first to criticise their own nation. And they continue to do so today throughout America, especially our heroic troops. Educators, sad as this may sound, are the LAST people our students should listen to about serious issues. My reactions were like Hanscom, and hopefully my students had some perspective because of it.
