Not that I particularly agree with covert recording being advocated by conservative groups, but I don't think the classroom is the place to editorialize in that manner. As I read the story before, the school policy is to allow "equal time" for opposing views when things such as politics are discussed in class. Bennish's 'lecturing' didn't allow for equal time to dissent and his saying "you can disagree" wasn't an adequate substitution.
I totally agree. The dude was obviously your stereotypical Michael Moore-an liberal doing his stale "BUSH IS TEH DEBIL" routine. But at the same time, it appears that the student
and his parents decided not go to the teacher, the school, or the school board with the issue. Instead, they decided to shop their little tape around to various conservative talk shows. That's pretty weak, too.
