There have been reports that teachers actually dragged students to some of these protests. Is that even legal without the parents consent?
I have long advocated for the privatization of schools. Dump the Department of Education, the local school boards, over-paid administrators, principals who make more money than the average attorney or doctor, and let the cream rise to the top. Quit stealing money from taxpayers to fund a failed system that turns out functional illiterates.
As for the teachers marching around in Wisconsin protesting? Fire them. Immediately.
From Doug Ross:
Take a look at how the game works. As always - Doug has some fine graphics - and we thank him!At the federal level, President Obama's budget calls for $77.4 billion to be allocated to the Department of Education, which represents a 22 percent increase from 2010, and a 35 percent increase from 2008.
Increasing funding for the Department of Education has nothing at all to do with education. It has to do with getting more Democrats elected -- using the taxpayers' money. read it all
