1. When my daughter was 16 years, she was told in class it was because America was attacked on 9/11

Her response to her teacher and classmates was "bull shit". She was sent to the office. I did agree that saying "bull shit" was a poor choice of words but by 2008 when this happened an understandable response the facts to the involvement in the Iraq were understood by rational people. My agreement with the school was she would apologize for saying "bull shit" when the teacher apologized for uttering such nonsense as fact. I did get the teacher to give her a participation grade for the day in spite of my daughter saying bull shit and being sent to the office.
