Idiocracy marches on
I was long an involuntary member of a teachers’ union. Permit me to make a few observations.
1) The union leadership is no way representative of the membership. The membership consists of Trump conservatives, Bernie Sanders communists, and literally everything in between.
2) Nevertheless, the ultra-liberal slate wins every time. Why is that? It’s almost like an hereditary monarchy. The old socialist union leaders pick the new socialist union leaders. Then they fix elections in a way that would make Stalin blush.
Oh, the stories I could tell you about that.
Teachers’ Unions should not exist.
Diplomas are handed to high school graduates who cannot read them. This is a disgrace.
Typical dimmocrap move: when certain groups can’t make the standard, just eliminate the standard. Always pandering to the lowest common denominator. This is surely how we made the great technical and medical discoveries in this country.

TAKE NOTE... Conservatives should flood the schools. Reverse Gramsky on them.
“has not only failed to close learning gaps that have persisted along racial and economic lines, but the standardized tests have exacerbated the disparities among our student populations.”

As suspected it is yet another standardized test that certain groups have trouble passing and therefore must be eliminated.
