My daughter, who is in the 4th grade, has a teacher who returned from a trip that involved air travel last weekend. The woman told her students about her trip:
"A man wearing an anti-war (Iraq) jacket got on the plane with me. I was terrified that he would start attacking people, and try to crash the plane. I looked at my watch, and the time was 9:11."
The class was horrified.
My daughter told me this story yesterday, and I said: "Yes, except the man wearing the jacket was just using his free speech to denounce the war, which has nothing to do with 911, or plane crashing terrorists."
And this teacher has a four year college degree. She still thinks the Iraq war has something to do with 911.
Has this confusion gone on long enough?
