The Columbus Dispatch has been reporting on a class project assigned by Erica Vieyra, a teacher of advanced Spanish in the Olentangy Local School District (Delaware County). As a class assignment, she had her students assume an identity and Latin-American nationality, and attempt as illegal aliens, to apply for jobs in the area. The original report in the Dispatch caused a firestorm on the Internet, suggesting that Ms. Vieyra was attempting to indoctrinate her students in liberal values.
It is telling that in today’s report, “none of her students thought that [the immigrants] were going about it in the right way.” They learned the right lesson. The real problem is that American politics is polarized between those who would have law without compassion, and those who would have compassion without law. We have to have both. Without law, we have no order; but without compassion, we have no soul.

you're a jackass.
those kids were also shown a dozen R rated movies in class, instead of receiving instruction. worse-- the movies had english subtitles, which defeated the purpose of showing the movies in the first place.
