Maybe he'll teach them that mass surveillance is good and that only paranoid wingnuts oppose it. Either way, he's using the students to further his own agenda when he should be trying to give them knowledge that they can use.
Why not spend the time you have teaching them some practical information they can use? How are they going to benefit from hearing someone's social agenda? Are the students there for your benefit, for you to use to advance your societal goals? Or are you there for their benefit, to help them learn things and improve their future lives?
My suggestion: skip these "society" lessons and use the time to teach them how to search text with regular expressions.
I disagree with you about cops speeding. Speeding laws should all be repealed. If someone is driving recklessly, charge them with reckless driving. If they aren't driving recklessly, their speed is their own business.
Leave the signs as a guideline only. Most of the rest of the traffic laws should similarly be repealed. (No, not the drunk driving laws -- at least not for BAC levels that actually represent a significant danger.)
Read my post. Californians aren't (as) responsible for the guy who set it up because they didn't vote for him. They are (a lot more) responsible for the guy who is running the spying now because they voted for him.
Bush has been gone for years and years now. He has zero control of the government.
Obama has had 4+ years to stop spying. He didn't. He didn't try. He's not trying now. And Californians supported him for election and re-election by large margins.
I don't care if you're a private citizen, a church, a corporation, or a government. If you're committing acts that have to be kept SECRET, then you're doing something wrong.
This sounds exactly like "if you don't have anything to hide, you don't have anything to worry about from the NSA spying".
California is the topic of the article. Californians are responsible for the people they voted for.
No one will ever be responsible for a Gary Johnson Administration or a Jill Stein Administration. (Which is a big part of these candidates' appeal to some people.)
Californians are responsible for the Obama Administration because they voted for him. California's two Senators are Obama Administration allies, so they're unlikely to help rein in the government they support. Californians didn't vote for Bush, so they aren't responsible for his policies in the same way.
Californians should start supporting smaller, less intrusive government if they don't want to accept the consequences of having a huge, powerful, active government.
You can't keep accepting the idea that government knows best and then complain when government doesn't do the right things.
Wisconsin 7-year-old loses 2 toes to frostbite when the iris scanner wouldn't let her in the door. School officials say the inside surface of the lens was frosted over, preventing the scanner from functioning correctly.

How about teaching social science topics in social science classes?

Facebook doesn't take money from my paycheck. And if I want to stop using Facebook, I just stop.
Training isn't the issue. Military-style raids to arrest non-violent people are the issue.
That's good advice, but it's nowhere near a solution to the problem. Some of these people didn't live long enough to meet with an attorney.
Then there's the case of Daniel Chong.
A smaller government with fewer laws is a partial solution. Government needs to start to respect individual citizens again.
There's no need to break into these houses in the first place. Don't storm in. Then there will be no worries about getting hurt.
Have fun driving them in the snow. Also, battery life is going to be terrible with the heater on.
Now we'll know exactly how long the whiskey has been aging.

It just looks different from the outside.

You keep giving them more and more power. And you keep being surprised when that power is used against you.
It's the "everybody does it" defense -- a favorite defense of those who are obviously guilty.

Californians voted for bigger, more intrusive government. They got it. They should accept the consequences.

Yes, indeed. Texas is for people who aren't bigoted against Texans.

Also, Texas law can't have a more restrictive definition of "threat" than the US Supreme Court. Here's a long article on it:
