I am absolutely amazed at the lack of comment here on SI regarding this story.

Maybe it will ignite conversation over the next few days. Has the MSM covered it yet?

in the 20-minute recording, made on an MP3 player, teacher Jay Bennish described capitalism as a system "at odds with human rights." He also said there were "eerie similarities" between what Bush said during his Jan. 28 State of the Union address and "things that Adolf Hitler used to say."

The United States was "probably the single most violent nation on planet Earth," Bennish also said on the tape.

The Post has a copy of the recording here. Superintendent Monte Moses tells the paper that Bennish's one-sided rant appears to constitute "a breach of district policy," which "calls for both sides to be present . . . in the interest of intellectual discourse."

Cheers to sophomore Sean Allen for bringing the incident to light.
