Last chance to block Betsy

[NOIRTRASH]

The Democrat Party today, despite a 24/7 frontal assault, in the Senate prove once again how thoroughly impotent they are as a national party. They are now a minority cabal representing fractured demographics of the intellectually stunted along the nation's coasts.

Sure. They coulda put the time to better use but theyre Stupid People.

Break teacher's union!? Did I hear that right?! CAW yes, Steelworkers yes. Both can be done. And possibly need to be. But breaking teacher's union! First, good fucking luck with that. Not that I actually wish you good luck. It's just an expression. Teacher's walk out and everybody is scrambling for daycare and sitters. Calling in absent from work. Yeah right!

Folk who put left side doors on cars all day don't deserve 25+ bucks an hour. But the educators of our youth and us deserve every penny.

I think the GOP ought to erect a giant bronze statue in honor of Harry Reid unwittingly becoming the patron saint of conservatism.

Without Harry Reid supporting Obama's my-way-or-the-highway approach to governance, requiring absolutely no consensus-building, the Republicans would have done what they always do- which is Democrat Lite, to appease the Democrats that they need to build a coalition with. No Republican needs to consult the DNC about anything for at least the next two years and most likely the next four.

The best thing to recommend Betsy for the position is that she is causing all of the right people to go apoplectic.

I know it's painful to watch a once great American political party disintegrate before your eyes, but good Lord, trying to resuscitate the Soviet Union here in the home of the brave...the bastion of liberty, was an egregiously stupid self-inflicted wound. The wages of political sin is death.

When the common core curriculum was rolled out the opposition were called anti-science creationist. She supported common core in the past.

Have organizations that I have been a part of supported Common Core? Of course. But that’s not my position. Sometimes it’s not just students who need to do their homework.

One of the best examples of crony whatever is the relationship between Democrats and the teacher unions. Schools are failing students of ALL races by any real measure. Proficiency rates in reading and the most basic math truly suck.
In a lot of districts, public schools are the real prisons. Give parents a chance to make a choice for their children, and if the school they choose is lacking they can try another.
Who knows, faced with real competition public schools might even improve.

Not where I live.

Oh, that's good news!

Can you show me where she says she supports creationism?

Yep our schools system only exists to provide free day care.

When she went on record saying education reform would "advance God's kingdom".

She should have said "allah's kingdom! ALLAH AKBAR!! ALLAH AKBAR!!!" ...it would have gotten at least a simple majority of (D)'s supporting her.

How is that any worse than the last guy lecturing every teacher and school in America on transgenders, what are (nonscientifically of course) and how they should be accomodated?

 

[oggbashan]

LOL it stings doesn't it? Having to defend a nominee who has absolutely no qualifications for the office other than being a big republican donor?

It makes sense though that the most unqualified president would appoint the most unqualified Sec. of Ed.

Because...Republican.

At least we can rest assured that no grizzlies will get our kids.

This discussion reminds me of the 19th Century appointment of W H Smith, news-stall proprietor, as 1st Lord of the Admiralty in the UK. He had no discernable knowledge of the sea, ships and certainly not the Royal NAvy.

His appointment was ridiculed in Gilbert and Sullivan's comic opera HMS Pinafore "Stick close to your desk and never go to sea, and you all can be rulers of the Queen's Navee..."

But W H Smith was a financial supporter of the Conservative Party.

Later on, during the First World War, Winston Churchill was given the same post. His military experience was as a cavalry officer.

Really not sure if you're using hyperbole or not. You're actually comparing not teaching kids science to who uses what bathroom?

Stating that gender is a social construct and that xy and xx do not relate to sex is as contrary to science as creationism. The bathroom portion is merely a way for people to be able to dismiss naysayers such as myself, which is exactly what you are doing. No one gives a fuck about bathrooms. No one ever did. This is about thought control, forcing people to accept non-facts as truth. Same as creationism.

Neither has a place in public schools.... Unless your goal is to indoctrinate.

Your actually suggesting she is advocating not teaching science?

Who cares about grammar, especially in the age of typing on smart phones. I gave you a thoughtful response and you skip it for this?

Probably the same people who care about education.

It looks to me like you made some stuff up. All I've ever seen John King say is that he didn't want schools to discriminate against anyone. I don't recall him ever saying anything about gender. You're more than welcome to prove me wrong.
