Teacher's dad reports death threats over Bush-Hitler comparison


DENVER - The father of a Colorado teacher who compared President Bush's State of the Union address to speeches made by Adolf Hitler said he and his family have received at least 12 death threats.

Jay Bennish is on paid leave from Overland High School in suburban Aurora while Cherry Creek School District investigates whether his Feb. 1 lecture violated a policy requiring that balancing viewpoints be presented in classes.

Bennish's father, John Bennish of Beverly Hills, Mich., told The Detroit News in Wednesday's editions that people have called his house threatening to kill him or his family.

"This has been totally lopsided and one-sided," Bennish's father said of the news coverage of his son's lecture.

Comments: He shouldn't be fired, but he needs to do the following:

1. Stick to the subject he is teaching.

2. He needs to explain OSAMA and his army are the bad guys. They are the ones that cause all the trouble due to their overzelous religious beliefs.

3. He must explain how the Clinton administration was do busy renting out the Lincoln bedroom and hanging out with Hollywood and 60's and 70's musical bands, that he allowed our overseas intelligence agencies not have enough agents to do the job.

4. He must tell the students that Jordan was going to hand Osama over to Clinton a few times, but that Clinton turned his back.

5. He must state 9/11 was Osama's fault and that the President is doing his best to protect the American people.

6. He must explain that this is a different kind of war and that information is so quick to be discovered due to the internet and other means. He needs to tell the students that the American people need to shut up and not demand all of our battle plans be disclosed upfront. How can a war be fought, if classified information gets leaked to the media?
