I had this conversation with a coworker yesterday. He couldn't find the connection either.
We teach. I tried to use the analogy of having kids in class just before lunch really angry about lunch portions being too small and they wanted more. They start talking about storming into the kitchen and taking what they deserve. The teacher lets them vent in anger and tells them that they are right to be upset. They aren't getting enough to eat and something should be done about it. The teacher then, in a speech directed to the entire class, says "I'll march with you to the lunchroom!" as the class cheers on in anger.
They kids go to lunch and storm the kitchen.
How would the building administrators say that the teacher had nothing to do with what happened with a straight face?
