A Swift Forearm To The Noggin

Swiftee telling it like it is on the sad state of public edumacation in MN:

I mean why don't they simply issue a statement to the effect that "we are committed to the same socialist world view that you are and we want to continue to provide your kids with the indoctrination they need to perpetuate our political agenda." "In order to do that, and to maintain our 60% graduation rate at the same time we'll need more money, lots more."

"Like you, we support the idea that public schools are, in addition to left-wing training centers, job factories for union workers. To maintain artifically high salaries in the face of stagnant academic records and declining enrollment, the teachers union needs a steady stream of cash to allow it to have the political clout it takes to keep the legislature dancing to our tune. We all know what that means...more money, lots more."

"So send it in."

Truth well told.

Oh I know, I know...YOUR school district is different. Keep telling yourself that. Socialist world view? Not in MY district!
