Bump

[Chris Talk]

Thank God someone finally called these evil witches what they are.

Throw rotten apples at THESE teachers!

Their doctrine is, these kids are too dumb to learn anything anyway, so pay us $60k per year to indoctrinate them and teach them how to commit homosexual acts and use condoms.

[JohnnyZ]

So is Rod Paige gonna run for something in Texas or what?

Paige and Hamid Karzai share stories about terrorists.

[CedarDave]

He'll be asked to resign by the media and the P/C crowd. That he's black won't matter to them (as it would if he was a Democrat in a Clinton-type administration where calling for his ouster would label you as racist). Any attempt to force him out will please them; just being a black in the Bush administration automatically means you're an "Uncle Tom" and have to go.

NEA Terrorist Org bump

Why doesn't the govt seize it and put the ringleaders on trial. Send em to Guantanamo for all I care.

[nobody_knows]

PLEASE email secretary Paige and tell him you agree with his comments about the NEA.

His email address is Rod.Paige@ed.gov

[11th Earl of Mar]

Well, this will successfully ensure that Bush's salvos that he hoped to start lobbing Kerry's way at tonight's speech will either get no coverage or will be linked to this asinine comment.

Way to shoot your boss in the foot, Paige. You were speaking to a crowd with a large number of Democrats; what were you thinking?

Unfortunately, I agree.

His comments will not help Bush in tonight's news coverage or in November's election.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Do they deny it?

[anniegetyourgun]

Friends don't let friends hand their kids over to terrorists.

Seriously, folks - it was the wrong word to use during the WOT. Paige will probably end up apologizing for using such hyperbole. However, he should not apologize for suggesting that the NEA is not about kids, education, or anything other than advancing their political agenda. Furthermore, I think he should engage Elaine Chao is pointing out that ALL unions exist to do the same. None of them care a wit about their constituents or their consumers.

Years ago a teacher got in HUGE trouble by doing "urban" math story problems... along the lines of :

"Fast Eddie is running 8 girls on the street... "

and

"If Jose buys a kilo of weed and divides it to sell in dime bags, how many bags must he sell to make back his origional investment?"

I am NOT making this up.

[demnomo]

That's a good question. All the Dem Guvs want the press to know is the "NEA is a terrorist organization" part, not the whole statement nor the context.

Unfortunately, this is going to be pushed ad naseum by the press all week long!

[anniegetyourgun]

It will also be used in presidential campaign ads against the prez.

[beaversmom]

Glad he said it. The are a terrorist organization. They hold parents and children hostage in the lousy government schools and saturate the children's impressionable minds with radicalism that could rival the PLO.

[AppyPappy]

Typical media. Their desire to hide the exact reference makes me suspicious.

[John Lenin]

Right on Rod, you nailed them to the wall!

[anoldafvet]

"Why do these limp wristed Republicans do NOTHING about that?" I believe Rod Paige is a democRAT.

[varina davis]

Rod Paige is correct.

[teletech]

Even though its true, Sec. Paige should not have used those words. This will be a part of each and every campaign ad Kerry runs.

[Esther Ruth]

Everyone sing along -

School days, school days, all those golden school days, reading and writting and rith-ma-tic- all to the tune of the hickory stick. (1910 or so?)

Forward a few years

Screw-all daze, screw-all daze, all doz nastee screw-all days, didn't yearn nuttin at all ya know, kant eben spel or add 1 and 1, sure wish my techer knew what to do, so I koud learn wat I neeed too no.

Help me, save me from this retchid school now, please wood some one hav the kerage now, for life's a-over and no more time.......
