Ron Paige spoke the truth when he called the NEA a terrorist organization - many teachers will not join that socialist group just because they do nothing about e-d-u-c-a-t-i-n-g; they can't because they aren't!

Parents, teachers and student across the country are Cheering the Education Secretary on! These people are from some other planet...........

[Russ]

Ditto that!!

[BushisTheMan]

WAH-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H!

Seems like they are trying to come up with daily "issues" that affect the President so that he spends all his time "defending" himself.

President Bush....go on the offensive...NOW!

[Arpege92]

Teacher's in this country are giving high quality education to our children? LOL

[MegaSilver]

But MoveOn.org and another group called Campaign for America's Future are not accepting Paige's apology.

Does anyone care what a bunch of angry, out-of-tune college students think?

[BookmanTheJanitor]

you mean the same moveon.org that labeled Bush a Nazi, among other names?

[squidly]

Hell, these people have wanted him fired since the day he was nominated.

[ChadGore]

Rod Paige is a good man. Can't a black man enjoy real power in this country without being torn down ?

RACIST liberals.

[Political Junkie Too]

Liberal groups on Monday plan to launch a petition drive, urging President Bush to fire Education Secretary Rod Paige.

I don't recall them complaining when NAACP leader Julian Bond called Republicans and Aschroft the "Taliban wing of the Republican Party."

The liberals are always calling for someone to be fired. First, they chum the waters with calls for a firing. If it happens, then they'll complain that Bush fired a black man.

This does not raise to the level of dismissal. Censure and move on... < /sarcasm >

[atomicpossum]

BRING IT ON.

I don't think most Americans favor the NEA, and are incensed about the poor state of public education. Bush can say it was a dumb thing to say and turn it into a debate about the strangehold the union has, keeping effective teaching from taking place. It is a winning position if they want to take the time to make it so.

Plus, MoveOn.org's time is running out. Raise their prominence to ensure they can't scurry away out of sight.

[raloxk]

MoveOn.org has become a terrorist organization

[Tacis]

Can't we put together an equally fake group of Indians (dot, not feather) to pretend outrage over Hille's racial slur and demand her resignation?

And, the teachers' unions are terrorists in that they are intentionally destroying the public education system where ever they can for their own personal dogmatic reasons.

[Luke Skyfreeper]

RACISTS!!! alert.

[OldFriend]

Paige is the last best hope for the children of this country to get the education they deserve.

[onedoug]

Paige should amend his statement to, "Terrorist supporting organization. Then it would be educatedly precise.

[Oztrich Boy]

MoveOn: are you beginning to realize how silly choosing that name was?

[templar]

Personally, I'd like to see him lose the job too. Right along with elimination of the rest of the Dept of Education. I don't think this is what his critics have in mind though.

[manic4organic]

How can we support Paige and counter the commies?

[chickenlips]

I agree, go ahead and fire him...as part of the abolishment of the Dept. of Education.
