Justice Wood was appointed to the US. District Court by President Ronald Reagan on the recommendation of Senator Alphonse D’Amato.

Conservative Presidents do not necessarily appoint strict constructionists to the bench.

It absolutely boggles the mind. The next stop on the trip to the looney bin will be rejecting majority teachers because they can’t teach in hip-hop, rap, ebonics, and jive.

I had not heard of this test, either. Looks like a good source for practical math drills!

Which will die first...... New York or Los Angeles?

Loaded question. From implosion, both will die simultaneously a slow and agonizing. Otherwise, from earthquake, Los Angeles. From nuclear detonation, New York. From Hurricane, prolly New York.

This is just the latest of a mountain of evidence that we have become a sick society.

“A very disturbing trend.”

Many have learned that the easiest path to success is to point at a person having light skin and yell “racism!”, and that person & associated will do anything to satisfy the accuser. So long as that response continues, so will the trend.

As stupid as she is, we do need to at least credit her for holding a copy of the constitution and saying (in her awkward way) that it puts bounds on the government.

What is really bad is that only 75% of whites passed this.
I read through the sample test, and with just a little thought got every question right.
If someone who wants to be a teacher can’t pass this, he should find out the requirements to be a barista.
It’s frightening that they would want to make the test easier, even if minorities don’t do as well as whites.

Another Reason to Homeschool

Pity the poor captives ( Oops! “students”) who are forced by the government to be confined in classrooms with these semi-literate and likely nearly totally innumerate “teachers”.

Hopefully the usual conmen won’t use this as a fund raiser rip off of nice everyday conservative men and women. Trying to save public schools is like trying push magna back into the volcano.

Page 4 of the “Test Taking Strategies” page in the actual Preparation Guide is highly discriminatory. Who could POSSIBLY comply with these burdensome directives?

1. Be On Time.
Arrive at the test center on time so that you are rested and ready to begin the test when instructed to do so.

2. Follow Directions.
At the beginning of the test session and throughout the test, follow all directions carefully.

An instant pass / fail exam, one might say.

A minor problem.
The homeowner, not the electrician, might one day fail a skin resistance test on an backfed, ungrounded panel.

The DNCNEA teachers unionist wants to write the test:

1) Is America bad?
a) YES
b) YES
c) HELL YES
d) maybe

2) Is man made global climate change real?
a) YES
b) YES
c) HELL YES
d) no and the Earth is flat and I own too many guns

3) 2+2=
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) => 4 <=

4) ur is the abbreviation of
a) ‘you’re’, ‘your’, and ‘you are’ all of which mean the same
b) Uruguay

5) True or false, “’Uruguay’ means ‘you, are you ghey? when texting”.

THE END


U will notiss that the above test includes portions on history, science, maths, and grammar.

Reforming K-12 Indoctrination is like:

fighting a raging forest fire with a water pistol.

Or...Throwing a grape in the air expecting to hit Jupiter.

Or...expecting Bernie Sanders to embrace free markets.

Or....

Depends upon which port can most readily be reached by an ISIS suicide ship carrying an Iranian nuke.
