I can't believe that such a thing would be discussed among the impressionable young minds of high schoolers within the confines of a classroom, but it's happening: A high school in a conservative district has a class where the subject of a mock trial concerns the question of President Bush being a war criminal.

I don't really have any words for this, because when I think of war crimes I think of S. Milosovic and the Nazi trials at Nuremberg; Bush is nothing like either. I was part of a mock trial team in High School for a business law class, I was lead prosecutor, and it was nothing like this - just a simple heist gone wrong that turned into a murder. What's more is it's a conservative district.

If this were not enough, consider this - at least he's being put on leave.
