Pam, think about what you are telling your daughter to do. Not only is she being asked to support conservative values in front of her liberal-basted peers, but undoubtedly if a teacher hears her they will jump right in to attack her beliefs.
After a while, I realized that it was not fair for me to ask my son to attend a place where there is no democracy — a school is a fascist state run by teachers and administrators, which is the only way it can work — and go against the beliefs of the people in ultimate authority over him.
Recall, if you will, the student in Colorado who recorded his geography teacher ranting about George W. Bush. The geography teacher was rewarded with a visit to Good Morning America. The student had to leave the school because the other students and teachers were harassing him.
Your daughter had the right idea when she was quiet in the face of thoughtless leftism. In the outside world, argue as she wishes, but in the public schools? Not a good idea.
