Two teachers at Dennis Yarmouth Regional High School have touched off a firestorm after holding up an “End War” sign at a school assembly where six students who’ve enlisted in the military were being honored.No, actually you were showing rudeness and disrespect, and were arrogantly assuming that someone cared what you thought. You were wrong.
Many in the community say the teachers crossed a line and treated their own students with disrespect.
The students received a standing ovation, but at that point the two teachers sat down refusing to clap.
Teacher Marybeth Verani defends her protest saying, “I’m showing students in a democracy how to exercise dissent.”
Some students didn't think much of the display:
Some students responded by leafleting her classroom with signs saying “Support Our Troops.”Save the protests for an actual protest.
UPDATE: Some students are calling for the firing of the idiot teachers:
Some students are calling for the firing of two Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School teachers who held an anti-war sign during a school assembly Friday, reports the Cape Cod Times.One of these morons has apparently managed to teach history without actually learning anything from it.
History teacher Marybeth Verani and English teacher Adeline Koscher made their silent protest during the part of the assembly in which school officials recognized graduating seniors who are entering the military.
“They not only imposed their political will, they imposed it at the wrong time,” said D-Y junior Andrew Bowles Jr., who organized an after-school protest yesterday that drew about 30 students.
