Sirota received a death threat after this appearance today on CNN debating Jim Greer.

1. I'm a teacher, and I didn't get any of these lesson plans
who got these out there?? I am also a principal (a teaching principal, a rarity these days) and NO LESSON PLANS crossed my desk, were sent to me electronically (I did get an email from Arne Duncan so they know I exist).... show me these lesson plans.

2. I am not sure
But they may have made them available online to view ahead of time or something, before they planned to send them out. Although, it does sound like typical GOP hyperbole to go nuts over something like that even if it had not been made available or sent out yet.

3. That's my recollection - they made them available and then all hell broke loose

4. I'm gonna bet my next paycheck that Greer got NO death threats.
Why? Because those who disagree with him are, for the most part, reasonable and peaceful people.

Those who disagree with Scirota - not so much.

7. Sirota talked about the death threat first thing this morning at the start of his radio program
He's on KKZN in Denver starting at 7 A.M. Mountain Time.

He said that he hated to call the police about the threat but he did. Then at 2 A.M. his doorbell rang. Turned out to be an airline delivering his brother's lost luggage. Not the best timing given the circumstances.

8. Thanks for posting this, eleny
Sirota did a really good job - so articulate and very direct in his statements - So reasonable with his approach. We need more like him on the airways.
