Perspective and other stuff
It's so strange teaching 14-18 years olds and having them "not age" as you get older.
It's even worse when you have to explain to them why this vote in the Senate is the best our politicians can mutter for "courage" in pressure.
My job as a history teacher is bad enough when our leaders don't even pretend to try and live up to the morals that we preach.
*sigh* It was SO much easier when it was just a blowjob that had to be explained. They already understood that men could be and sometimes are unfaithful to their wives. Considering how many of today's students come from "non-traditional" families, it's not hard to see why.
Explaining why their home nation condones torture and employs tactics that make most civilized people queasy to their stomachs.... that's nearly impossible, especially since I'm not supposed to curse. And this is from the gang that promised to bring "honor and integrity" back to the White House.

I don't know what's scarier: the fact that Congress had to pass a bill saying that torture is not OK, or the phrase "Despite White House objections."
