I have been told of two teachers this week, who after the Election in America told their children they were teaching that there was going to be a third world war , because of the result. The children were 9 and 12 years old, and went home really worried and upset. I advised the parents to contact the local education dept, or write to the Secretary of State for education. What would you do ?

A classroom responsibility is to provide education of the course materials, not to indoctrinate minds of mush with personal opinion.
Students generally respect and believe their instructors. What that teacher did was "deplorable" and possibly needs some serious disciplinary action; it would not go unnoticed around here.
Part of the problem of the growing number of "college-educated" progressive/liberal/socialist young adults is the editorializing of those like minded professors who overstep their duty.
I don't care if you don't like the results of an election. Throwing a tantrum with your buddies that destroys property and threatens society is not peaceful demonstration. It's a riot, and should result in arrest. Find the culprit paying for this activity (George Sauros) and throw his billionaire butt in jail for bribery and conspiracy.
This whole 2016 election process has shown the self-entitled, disruptive nature of one party, burning flags and bullying in general.
Oh, back to the question.... First, I'd visit the teachers and get their versions of events, IN the principal's office, WITH the principal present. If the explanation didn't clarify the situation as a misunderstanding by my kids, I'd file a grievance with the school and the school district

Just goes to show how much certain people did NOT want trump as a president. All said, it is the teacher's job to teach respect for the higher office , no matter who is running it. Something we all could use a lesson in. The teacher doesn't have to teach love or who to love, just RESPECT .....

Need to teach the teacher something he/she will never forget. The teacher is a coward . Check into the background of the teacher, you will likely find something the school doesn't know of. Tell the teacher you hired a private investigator to search the past. The teacher is threatening your lifestyle and family life, don't just sit there . You can also have the teacher investigated yourself and nobody will ever know. This is all about good against bad ideals. You are good , protect your kids against these liberals. Your kids future depends on it. My guess is the teacher has a bad past from a previous teaching school. I would really like to know what you find. Good luck to you. Do it.

back in about 1960, my brother's 8th grade teacher .....an old lady ,told his class the same thing....she said , " There's going to be another world war . I can feel it in my bones " He was very upset and so was I . My mom said she shouldn't have told the class that, but she never complained to the principal or school district or school board, or anything like that.
