I can understand attacks against me and my self-admitted elitism, but attacking Teach for America....Laura Bush herself is a patron of this organization....

Yes it is run by liberals, but it is a worthwhile cause.....Should there be no conservative teachers in Compton?

Laura Bush herself is a patron of this organization....

If this is genuinely important to you, then why do you frequently, in many threads,
refer to her husband as "shrub?" And don't deny it, I have evidence of that ready to post.

e·lit·ism or é·lit·ism (-ltzm, -l-)
n.

1. The belief that certain persons or members of certain classes or groups deserve favored treatment by virtue of their perceived superiority, as in intellect, social status, or financial resources.
2. 1. The sense of entitlement enjoyed by such a group or class.
   2. Control, rule, or domination by such a group or class.

There are lot of well educated and very smart people on this forum, who would never describe themselves as elite only as hard workers and fortunate.
