STILL AT RISK: THE SHOCKING IGNORANCE OF OUR YOUNG
I just quit teaching after 30 years. I quit not because I had to but because I cannot take it anymore. There is not one Republicans in Congress in either house who cares a lick about education. And no one rally talks about it except in the most snotty and predictable ways.
I think it's funny how you point out that our kids aren't getting educated but you never mention where it breaks down. It breaks down at the School board. And yes, as a Conservative and a teacher I can tell you that it is the right wing that packs school boards with idiots who want the Bible taught as historical fact. It is Conservatives who show up at board meetings and demand that we teach kids that evolution is just a theory. It is conservatives at school board meetings that don't want anything taught but math and a little science and business. It is conservatives who who up and tell me not to teach the BILL OF RIGHTS!!!!
The reason our kids are dumb is because conservatives have rammed their uneducated, ill informed ideological views on everyone in the school districts.
I quite 4 months short of thirty years and as I look back, I think that the truth has to be spoken.
