Yes. That's exactly it. You know, since teachers can't run their classes by their lesson plans, and because their clearly liberal outlook would interfere with the interpretation of the State of the Union address. Maybe it's because no one decided to ask the teacher about it, or because it's a regular government class and nobody gives a crap about Bush and his minions. Or maybe Mr. Liberal-Guy-Teaching-Government doesn't want kids to know about such words as "hitlerism" and "nucular". That's just a wild guess, mind you.
In my AP US History class we're more likely to talk about colleges and budget cuts than actual current events, since we have to stay on track for AP.
