Teacher's suspension protested
*By Kevin Vaughan, Rocky Mountain News*
*March 2, 2006*
Hundreds of students walked out of Overland High School this morning in
protest after a controversy involving a geography teacher and his
statements about President Bush.
Many of the students supported the teacher, Jay Bennish, who was placed
on paid leave pending an investigation into his comments by the Cherry
Creek School District.
"Freedom of speech --- Let him teach," students chanted after they
streamed out of the school, located at 12400 E. Jewell Ave., and crossed
a pedestrian bridge to a park.
Bennish's talk about Bush's State of the Union speech was recorded by a
student, Sean Allen, who took it to KOA talk show host Mike Rosen. In
the recording, Bennish made a number of comments about Bush, including
one in which he said he could be compared to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
But a large number of students who walked out of the Aurora school this
morning supported Allen with chants of their own.
"Teach, don't preach," they chanted.
The demonstration was peaceful, and the vast majority of students
returned to class without incident. A small group of Bennish supporters
stayed in the park, chanting and waving, before eventually heading back
to school.
School district officials have said that Bennish's comments were
inappropriate and did not include opposing points of view.
