Pea-brains fire Peobody teacher

            I am appalled to read in the Boston Globe ( Feb. 8 , page

    B2 ): " Peabody shuns teacher for Hitler remark ". The teacher-

    too shameful to identify ! - lost his job because he might

    have said, " Hitler is cool ".

       The school commends the little brat that ruined him-

    knowingly ?   Yes, all this proves that " we have been

    teaching the right things... "

           Really ?  The Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky

    wrote somewhere that there were quite a few freaks in the

    teaching profession. I suspect that a over zealous effort to

    eliminate them will deplete the profession.

            But I am also fed up with politically incorrect

    " thought crime ".  The teacher perhaps deserved a mild

    reprimand for unprofessional silliness. How punitive

    are the teachers of " the right things ".

          Free Thought is not included among them .
