Wooo Hoooo Field Trip To Cuba!

What does Nancy Pelosi's journey to Iran mean to the next generation of voters? It means you don't have to obey government sanctions,travel restrictions, or diplomatic protocol when traveling. Heck, this teacher didn't!

The principal, Ruth Lacey, insisted she did not approve the April 1-10 jaunt, in which students and teachers said the group was briefly detained on their return by American customs officials in the Bahamas and now faces fines.

In a telephone interview, Lacey initially claimed to have no knowledge of the trip but later recalled having denied approval for it. She said the teacher, Nathan Turner, then took it upon himself to arrange the excursion.

Turner, 35, a popular teacher whose classroom walls, students said, are adorned with posters of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro and Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara, declined to comment.

"I don't know anything about the trip because it wasn't
school-sponsored. I only care about the trips that go through the school," Lacey said. "This, to me, would be an outrage if it happened."

But the trip was advertised on the school's Web site in the fall. And a list of 30 students selected in November to take the journey and to attend preparation classes for it could be found on its Web site last week.

Michelle Malkin has the story on a teacher who decides to disregard the law and sponsor a field trip to Cuba, putting into legal jeopardy every student who went. Where were the parents? "Hey, mom, dad? I'm going to Cuba next week with the teach." Do you know where your child's school is taking them?

Now each student going is facing fines of $65,000 for violating the law.

And this isn't the first school-sponsored trip to Cuba.

Who is teaching your children?
