I do not understand how on Earth this turned into a story of politics. It was a trip that happened be an illgeal one to a communist nation. No, this trip was not meant to turn students into communists! It is one of many trips that the school offers through fund raisers. Though I do not support illegal trips with school leaders that cannot stand up for it; I also do not support how the school is being inaccurately "red listed" by the media! The teacher may have posters of communist leaders, but there are other posters like of Native Americans and other historical leaders ( I know after all I visited the school last month). They are used as a lens for his history class for god sake! Can history teachers use visual aids or not?? If you want to pop crap about how the school is leftist and communist go visit the school for a week and see if your hypothesis is right. This has turned into a whole bunch of generalizations.
From a friend:
"We are out of the cold war
and there shouldn't be a fear for communism because it is a stupid system that is bound to break because humans are naturally greedy; like you for trying to inaccurately protray the subject matter.

- This is exactly why I turned down your interview ( that you contacted me through "facebook" for this article). I do not want my words to be sliced up in order to misrepresent me.
