DC voted 93% for 0bama. They got what they deserved today.
Uh oh. Feinstein had better watch herself, or she'll spend a few weeks in the NEA re-education camp.
Democrats can't win with an educated, informed and intellectually competent electorate. They'll NEVER support substantive education reform. Democrats love teachers, and loathe students.
When any union boss says, “Sh*t!,” Democrats squat and ask, “What color?”

The Democrat Unions screwed D.C. kids and their parents once again.
Can’t have them straying off the Democrat plantation. They may open their eyes.
They have to reauthorize the FAA?
Wow, Olympia is quite the turd. I guess that paleness is more than skin deep.
This is pure evil.
GOP Senators always cave.
It cost twice as much for non voucher students (public school) as it does for voucher school students.
Public school students graduate at 50% rate compared to 90+% of voucher students.
The cost per student was public school student $15,000 per semester compared to $7500 voucher student per.
For an arbitration I belong to the NEA for a few short years and it was the only time I ever had to write on my NEA application which party I belonged to and the amount I was contributing.

Waiting to hear from Jesse, Al, the NAACP and the usual suspects.
Nevermind.
Politicians can’t sink lower than to end a program that was saving taxpayers money and better educating kids.
Slightly off subject.
I am in a career that requires me, at times, to search for missing children, respond to alarms, and investigate crimes.
I work for a large municipality in WA state.
I was investigating an 11 year old girl who did not come home after a public school event and was going through her classroom trying to find her best friend’s full name so we could attempt to get a phone number and address for that family.
On the teacher’s desk was an assignment journal that had an assignment’s written description.
This assignment was about a movie the class had watched about “families.”
On the first line it had written, “to be done in classroom/not to be taken home.”
It then had a list of questions that the students should answer about the movie, which would be written out.
The assignments had been turned in and were stacked under the journal page.
One of the questions was “what are some of the types of families depicted in the movie?”
There were about 5 or 6 acceptable answers written on the journal page. One of them was “two dads.”
The kids then had to explain why each type of family ended up like that....”dad died so their is only mom” or “daddy is gay and loves a man.”
I just shook my head and patted myself on the back for sending my kids to Catholic school.
Not only is this stuff going on, but the school is purposefully hiding it from the parent(s) by keeping the work “in house” so the few parents that look at their kid’s homework won’t see it.
This one reason why school vouchers work so wonderfully. If you don’t like your kids being taught about certain things, shop your dollars somewhere else.
Yet we have no problem with forcing religious folks with deep convictions about protecting life in the womb to pay for our abortions through government enforced taxation!
He emphasized that priority last week by donating $750,000 of his $1.4 million Nobel Peace Prize award to nonprofit groups promoting higher education and scholarship funds.
I bet that's the largest amount he has ever given away freely to any cause! ......Oh OH I forgot the year he started his campaign for presidency he and michelle finally opened up their wallets for charities!

If the capital of the U.S.were moved to Kansas (as it should be) Washington would look just like Detroit in three years.
Washington, D.C. is a tidepool of failed socialist experiments. Doesn't matter if you have the money to opt out.
Shouldn't that be quashed?
Well, OK, that really should be passed.
