Colo. Teacher's Dad Cites Death Threats
By Associated Press
1 hour ago

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

Teacher 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 has defended the lecture, saying he was trying to encourage his students to think.

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

1. That's because they're a bunch of Nazis. I love it when people prove
points without any asking.

5. I love how people who claim to be spreading democracy to countries
that torture it's citizens are now threatening the life of a family with whom they disagree politically without waiting for an investigation into exactly what occurred.

My, what a wonderful show of democracy. Such role models.

7. One of these days, the protection of law will cease to exist
and these threats will be carried out with impunity

and we will know what it is like to live under a dark tyranny.

The only thing saving us from actual violence is the diligence of local police

9. I Continue To Say.....
Why is there a reason to stay in a country where there are a large number of people like this?

I'm really searching for some good and intelligence....outside of places like DU.....but all I see is Ignorance, Bliss and Retarded citizens.

11. And everyone wonders why the Dems in the house/senate don't stand up.
Edited on Wed Mar-08-06 05:48 PM by IsItJustMe
Hell, they are scared. These damn thugs are threatening people for with their lives. No telling what kind of calls and letters our Dems in cogress are getting.

These are the tactics they use folks. You disagree with them and they want to take you, your wife, and your kids out.
