<p>^^^defeats the purpose</p>
<p>I agree that it was extremely unprofessional. I am just glad that someone who cannot separate their political views from their efforts to educate and help students is not a soc. sci. teacher! I believe that anyone unwilling to give a fair assessment of the skills and abilities of their pupils, regardless of conlficts of opinion, is not worthy of being a teacher. (i.e. this whole situation makes me angry) It is probably better not to have gotten a letter from such a person.</p>
