1. In 2007 my daughter was kicked out of a High School History class because she got upset.

It seems several students said that the reason for the Iraq war was that Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden attacked the World Trade Center. I had a personal conversation with the Principal and the classroom teacher. The next day the History Teacher apologized to my daughter and never brought up the subject again in class due to a change of lesson plans. Since I had my discussion behind closed doors in a quiet controlled voice with out profanity she was not embarrassed. We did write separate letters to the school board which I am sure ware ignored.
