My former AP Gov teacher is a current member of the city council. He left the room as soon as I began to walk up to the podium, and returned in the middle of my speech. I thought that him walking out of the room when he is supposed to listening to members of the community was pretty disrespectful. Although, after having him as a teacher for a year I was definitely not surprised. He was far more eager and willing to tell the class about his recent Facebook arguments, and give his daily bashing of Trump, than actually teach the class. I don't think it's a problem that a US Government teacher gives an opinion on US politics, but its not even like he tied his stories into the curriculum. His stories were the curriculum. I was not planning on calling him out like that, but in the heat of the moment I let my emotions get the better of me.

Actually I did have one local politician reach out to me. He was happy to see me getting involved in the process, and told me he enjoyed the video. I'm not sure how that person's colleagues feel about the issue, but I will be sure to try and reach out to them.

We haven't been on talking terms since the incident.

Thanks! I don't really want to be a politician, but I will probably be involved in politics to some extent. Also, would the Reddit Party's stances be determined by upvotes?

Thanks I appreciate it! So far there has been no investigation but citizens are petitioning to hold a referendum on the project.
