The nasty old white guy from Idaho chimes in. I am a retired HS English teacher with emphasis on the tired part. The irony in B. Hussein’s comment about funding minority students is that if they, or any group of students, were actually educated, they would see through him and those like him at light speed.
Our schools are predicated on making students into reactively “thinking” cogs in a giant wheel; this goes all the way back to the Robber Barons and Industrialists like Andrew Carnegie. For thinking people to have any hope, our education system must be forced to produce actual thinkers. I say forced because the NEA/AFT will never go quietly into that intellectual light.
Democracy failed in Athens when groups who added nothing found they had the numbers to allocate funds from the public purse. When real democracy fails, what follows sounds like the liberal/elitist/social dictatorship of B. Hussen or Hitlery.
Ave atque Vale,
