Think about this.
Why are the ANTlFA (paid) protestors attacking the court houses?
Why are the federal authorities protecting the court houses?
Barr says theyre at the courthouse defending the courthouse?
So its the COURTHOUSE that is impt.
Whats inside?
Or better yet, who?
I don’t know; I use captions...
Its the Dem version of the Communist Show Trials.

Well reasoned account of exactly what we saw today.
Dems putting sound bytes in the record for MSM to pick up & run with on the nightly news.
Straight outta marx/lenin playbook

Sorry, I’m late replying, busy housework day, ugh
I can only share my thoughts/experience to your questions because I have been fighting schools since the early ‘80’s when my oldest was in grade 2. My teaching experience was only 4 years, 2001-’05.
AAG44:
So basically the NEA has total control??
WN:
Nationally the NEA had a great deal of lobbying power over legislative issues. We have only had a cabinet position for Dept if Education alone since Jimmy Carter. Prior to that education was part of Health, Education and Welfare within the executive branch of govt. Nationally the executive policy sways with who is in office, so policy zigzags with the party in power. Legislatively, Congress mostly bows to lobbyists. They are socialists.
There is more variation in the teacher’s union at state level with some states holding tighter control over curriculum and policy. As a teacher, when I was selected to attend a state conference on curriculum in Texas for my specialty, I was openly told that because I was not a TEA member my views were discounted.
AAG44:
Schools are taxpayer funded, how the heck do they get away with this?
WN:
I can only speak of Texas on this, I have no experience with other states.
Only a minuscule number of parents or citizens ever bother to attend a school board meeting or even talk with board members to discuss policy. Fewer still keep up with the policies at state level. People vote for school board members without a clue of what these people support.
As an election judge I have heard people laughing and chuckling with acquaintances at the polling place about knowing nothing about any candidates. I’ve heard everything from, “I’m just randomly picking names,” to I’m voting for “X” because he’s good looking.” A whole stupid list of irresponsible reasons.
With people not informing themselves about what is current in school and not vetting the people they vote in, they give more power to teachers. Many teachers, not all, bow to whatever their union wants to support. In my experience administration members are usually far left. I do know exceptions but the union structure makes promotion from teacher to administrator very difficult for those who don’t follow their socialist model.
The places I have known with conservative admins have been small towns, mostly rural. The bigger the city, the more leftist the admin. I think this is a main factor in cities voting blue. YMMV

I understand the need for parents to be involved but being realistic, there has to be some oversight, no?
WN:
Yes, I agree.
The oversight should be our elected officials. But with the ample $$$$$$$ of the union it takes true white hat legislators to make an effort to stand up for conservative values within schools.
And here in Texas the legislature has limited power, it’s the state board of education. In our republican primary this year IIRC there were 3 candidates running for a seat. As I did my homework on the candidates running to be on the November ballot as REPUBLICAN, I felt all should be running under the Rat ticket. They were all too far left. *puke*
At the local school board level there should also be oversight as you mentioned. Only when we elect a majority of true conservatives do they ever challenge the status quo. To get the conservatives elected it usually takes a massive grassroots effort. And if we get conservatives in place on the board it takes annual effort to keep conservatives in the positions. Too many busy working families have too many other concerns to remain active and informed.
In my town, parents are far more concerned about the extracurricular sports like little league than they are about who is running the school board. This is tragic IMO.
sorry for the long soapbox. i know many will take issue with my take on this but it’s my experience.
I have read her parents were not US citizens at the time of her birth.
NOT eligible!

Hmm, wondering why this judge instead of the trans Nathan?
clown gotta have their clown car!
I was driving home from work today and at an intersection there was a thank you Dr. Fauci sign. The sign wasn’t hand written, but professionally made like a campaign sign. I swear people in Northern Virginia are bat sh!t crazy.
I have a dumb question.
Why were some of the dims grilling A.G. Barr in person and why were some grilling him from the “Bookcase room?”
And what was that wearing a mask then pulling it off for five minutes while grilling Barr then flipping the mask back on?
I feel like I have slipped into the twilight zone.
Yup. Nads finally made it to the clown show today
“Why were some of the dims grilling A.G. Barr...?”

I swear everything I look up on NBC now says simply born in America.
So the Democrat Underground and Occupy Democrats are responsible for these criticisms of Dr. Immanuel! It figures. I saw three of the same criticisms along these lines. They cannot defeat the content of her comments so they slander the character. May they fall down far and get buried by their own garbage. Shame of the people I know who forwarded this to hurt her.
