I think teachers should try whatever works (within reason). But I would just say that they didn't have to wait for Obama to get inspiration. There are plenty of men, probably within their own communities, who could have and should have provided all the inspiration they needed.<BR/><BR/>It may seem Controversial because it's called "Obama youth...."... It raises partisan questions...and from a legal standpoint, it may present problems in terms of funding. I think the organizers could have been a little more thoughtful when it came to naming, etc...so they could have avoided those technical issues.<BR/><BR/>The group (if by another name) could have still used Obama as a source for inspiration... <BR/><BR/>Instead of the teacher being punished...he should have been given guidance on how to make the program work better....to avoid pitfalls, etc.<BR/><BR/>I'll have to read more about this later (late for work)...<BR/><BR/>Interesting post.Brian https://www.blogger.com/profile/07872444863142531165noreply@blogger.com
