I couldn't get the atlasshrugs website to open. Too much traffic,
probably. That a teacher in a public school is recommending to his
students websites like scaredmonkeys though is enough to scare me.
Your daughter may be tuned out on this issue for a while, but someday
you might suggest that she take a look at

On second thought, you might try to get him to read it and assign it to
his classes on the grounds that you believe that all sides should be
heard—just as evolution might in future be taught for its historical
interest now that the Constitution has been amended to mandate the
teaching of Creationism.
