In 1969, just a few years before Bernie Sanders first sought public office, he penned a number of columns on a variety of topics: sexuality -- including violent rape fantasies and the sexual development of children -- emotional links to cancer, foreign relations and the failures of traditional education.

He rails against "conservative" education -- what he viewed as an ineffective and soulless learning environment where children must "sit still for 7 hours a day ... and raise their hands when they have to go to the bathroom."

It was a theme he returned to repeatedly that year, denouncing authoritarian teaching styles.

Often "a child has an old bitch of a teacher (and there are many of them) or pehaps (sic) he simply is not interested in school and would rather be doing other thing (sic)," Sanders wrote in his column, "Cancer, Disease and Society," for an alternative publication called The Vermont Freeman.

Teachers endorsed Hillary, right?

[yallerdawg]

1. This far back?

Why, yes!

If we have to hear about "Goldwater Effing Girl" before she could vote.

[Ellen Forradalom]

2. What's good for the goose

Is good for the gander.

[yallerdawg]

3. I think the assigned reporter pool...

is getting a little tired of the "irascible curmudgeon" narrative of Senator Sanders (I-VT).

Expect a more thorough vetting going forward.

[DemonGoddess]

12. ^^^^absolutely!!!

[otohara]

4. Exactly - He Was In His 30's

When he fancied himself as another Sigmund Freud with an OBGYN degree.

[pandr32]

6. Ha-ha!

[fleabiscuit]

5. Why, yes!

I agree. They do forget that there is more than one personal timeline don't they.

[Starry Messenger]

7. My teachers union endorsed her with enthusiasm.

I'm so glad.

[Lucinda]

8. TY!

[Alfresco]

9. Uh Oh, the cat's out of the bag.

[UtahLib]

10. Hmmmm. nt

[wysi]

11. I guess they are now learning...

... what it means to be vetted.

[CajunBlazer]

13. Would someone put this on GD-P please

Preferably someone with a low number hides.

[jmowreader]

14. That is the saddest post I have seen this week

Being so certain the Bernie Bullies will hide anything we put up that's even slightly negative about their man crush, we have to look for someone who won't get kicked off the board for pointing out reality.

[FrenchieCat]

16. This one single CNN article

and what is in it, would do Bernie in by the slow drip drip that will make how the GOP turned John Kerry's War hero status pale in comparison.

That's why I pity those polls that show him beating anyone, especially Republican candidates.

[jmowreader]

20. You're right, and you're wrong

They'll do him in as sure as the sun rises in the east. There will not, however, be any drip-drip-drip about it...one "I employ 300 people and I'll have to fire them all if Bernie Sanders gets elected because his tax increases and mandatory pay hikes will put me out of business" ad aired the day before the election, and Hello President Rubio!

[Blue Idaho]

23. Don't forget "Bernie

the Communist." The republicans will bang that drum until the cows come home. Incorrect? Well of course it is! Will it stick with many? Most definitely.

Note to clarify - I am not saying the Senator is, I am saying the republicans will make that claim

[jmowreader]

24. More than one person has been suspended from posting for saying what you just said...

Be careful, young Democrat. We don't want that to happen to you.

The problem with the "Bernie the Communist" thing: it will be DAMN hard to disprove.

[Blue Idaho]

25. I an NOT saying he is

But I will bet anyone here the republicans will.

BTW - thanks for your friendly advice.

[Her Sister]

15. been sharing that article

Ugh!

[Rose Siding]

17. Good

If any of that is new to you, there's more early stuff here-

http://www.buzzfeed.com/ilanbenmeir/bernie-sanders-despised-democrats-in-1980s-said-a-jfk-speech#.swdMB2yJV

The part about JFK making him want to puke bowls me over every time I think about it. That and that he never voted until he was on a ballot in his thirties were the first things that turned me off of him. He gave some good speeches in the Senate, but coupled with those things, I found him lacking.

[Her Sister]

18. wow!

wow!!!!!!!!

[KitSileya]

19. Let's face it, Sanders has always been more interested in beating the Democrats

Than the Republicans. After all, he's never actually had to fight the Republicans, not really, not in his elections. Any republicans they have in a state that elects Sanders with such huge margins are irrelevant. So he legged it out of New York, because the fight against real opposition was too difficult, and instead he went to Vermont and started his 40-year long crusade against the Democrats. He is the original purity tester. He'd rather let the village burn to save it, than let someone save some of the houses and use their energy to build more houses.

[JoFerret]

21. Question: What do you think the GOP will do with this in the general election campaign

if Sanders is nominated?

22. That stuff he wrote about teachers....

I couldn't believe it.

[DarthDem]

26. Me Neither

Until now I assumed it was only his some of his mouth-breathing supporters who were misogynists.
