It makes no more sense to assume a teacher is a sell-out liberal because they receive a taxpayer funded check, than it does to assume a soldier is a sell-out liberal because he receives a taxpayer funded check.

Am I to asume that you are a graduate of a college of education? Is **this** what they are teaching in the nation's colleges of education? Huh?

A fundamental responsibility of government is to provide for the national defense. It is one of the major reasons we have government and that government is necessary.

Education is not a fundamental responsibility of government.

It does not matter that defense is a legitimate role of national government and that education is a questionable role of national government. (Since powers not specifically assigned to the fed are left to the state or to the people, that makes education an issue that locals can enact if they so desire.)

A person who works in either should not be assumed to be a sell-out just because they receive a government check.
