(2006-03-03) — Just a month after Colorado high school teacher Jay Bennish was caught on tape by a student as he ranted against President George Bush, capitalism and the United States in general, another student has come forward with a recording that could send shockwaves through teachers’ lounges nationwide.
On the second tape, an unnamed geography teacher from the same school can be heard openly discussing topography, soil, vegetation, climate, population numbers and the specific names of continents, mountain ranges, oceans and nations.
A “shocked and disappointed” Cherry Creek School District Superintendent Monte C. Moses immediately announced that the second teacher has been placed on paid administrative leave, pending an investigation.
“If this tape is authenticated,” Mr. Moses said, “and if we find that our students were exposed to geographic language and objective facts, I’m sure the National Education Association (NEA) won’t be happy about it. Our policy is to take swift action against incompetence.”
Meanwhile, the superintendent said he has assigned a team of six teachers to investigate Sean Allen, the 16-year-old student who recorded Mr. Bennish as he compared President Bush with Adolph Hitler.
“The obvious question here,” he said, “is why would a student record a teacher’s lecture? What’s his motive? Is he a threat to the school? Does he need special education, or referral to a mental health agency?”

Jay Bennish: Flower Child or Neo-Nazi?
Once upon a time there was a little boy who grew up to be sooooooo smart he could teach geography to 15 year olds. His mama and daddy were very, very proud of their baby boy. He was pretty and smart and had a nice hair-do.
