We don’t need more teachers. We need BETTER teachers who aren’t stupid mind-numbed liberals.

I am wondering if you have to pass some sort of ‘test’ to find out if you are liberal enough when you apply for a job as a teacher

There has to be SOME conservatives who want to be teachers, right? So HOW did they get so infested with liberals?

Ain’t gonna’ happen.
When I lived in Los Angeles, I often caught Bill Bennett’s radio show
(IIRC, he was something like Sec. of Education under Reagan).
He would occassionally have a show on the public school’s concerted effort
to keep REALLY qualified folks OUT of teaching science/math/physics.

My favorite case was a physics professor at Georgia Tech that had been “teacher
of the year” (twice?).
Once he became an emeritus professor, he offered to teach high school
physics FOR FREE.
He was turned down cold.

Yeah, the teachers’ union is “for the children”.
Public Schools are the most “closed shop” of any occupation on Planet Earth.
