Fox News - A New Hampshire couple has pulled their son out of his local high school after the teen was assigned a book that refers to Jesus Christ as a "wine-guzzling vagrant and precocious socialist."..."He started making some comments about the book and I said, ‘Well, just read it. You know you have to read it for school,'" Taylor told FoxNews.com. "But finally he came home one day and said ‘I'm not reading this book, I'm done reading this book, I am not reading any more of this book,' and he slammed it down and said, ‘This is junk!'"
Whats with this kid? He better be seriously considering running for President on the Tea Parties national ticket in a few years if he's taking stands like this in high school. The book may be a bit too much for impressionable teens, and the teacher is no doubt a looney-liberal stoner, but this is not the response a healthy American teenager should have.
Teenagers have 3 responses to high school material; 1) Ignore it and focus on sleeping, 2) Latch on to your teachers thoughts and blindly follow their ideals, 3) Play devils advocate in class but parrot teachers ideals on tests so you don't fail (if there is anything high school teachers hate its students with an enlightened and educated view that opposes theirs).
If I were the parents of this kid I'd be seriously worried about how tightly wound he is. Pretty sure even Jeffrey Dahmer was more easy going than this kid in high school.
