On April 20th, 2012, FreeMarketAmerica.org released a four minute video entitled "If I wanted America to Fail"

I challenge every teacher in America to show this video to their classes and then conduct an open discussion.

I challenge every teacher in America to show this video to their classes and then conduct an open discussion.
But before a teacher can show this video to their students, they should answer the following questions for themselves.
Questions for teachers:
1. Would you be "allowed" to show this in your class?
2. Would you be "concerned" over peer pressure (teachers) to show this in your class?
3. Would you be "worried" about your career if you even asked to show this in your class?
4. Would you "fear" repercussions from the parents?
5. Do you "think" any of the points raised by the video are worthy of discussion?

Please submit your answers to these questions and include the zip code where you teach and the grade(s) you teach.
