Maybe Osama can do it via satellite.

Watford then read a quote in which Bush allegedly admitted to becoming a librarian to expand her dating circle.

How come they only interviewed snot nosed females for this article? I'll check for answers later, I've got to run to the library now.

[concerned about politics]

This type is going to be in for a real surprise when they exit the insular communist utopia of a university campus and have to enter the real world.

Wait until you hear them whine when they have to stand the welfare lines too long because they can't read! There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!

[NeonKnight]

Wow! Tough kids! She should obviously decline the invitation. I am sure that are many prominant Universities that would be proud to have the gracious Mrs. Dubya speak at their commencement ceremony. Well, maybe not in America.

"Estela is providing another example of why are public schools are going to **** in a handbasket"

Exactly! I just read another thread about the Portland school district lamenting that the percentage of school aged kids in their city who attend public schools is dropping drastically (due to private schools and homeschoolng). The educators at the district were all wailing and saying how badly they need the middle and upper class kids to stay in the public school system. Someone should mail a copy of this article to them.

Our future educators are tipping their hand. I say we should cut off the little pukes from their source of cash. ie: the fedeal government.

Are people beating down the doors to date librarians or something? This is news.

A "quote" from what source?

Allegedly admitted?

Sounds fabricated to me, unless it was an offhand remark to get some interviewer off her back.

[proudofthesouth]

Young, stupid, and so misguided!

[rebdov]

These 'educators' cannot even bear hearing the words of an opposing position. These 'educators' are graduating eneducated. If they only heard the opinions repeated and reinforced that they came in with then they will be going out with the same undeveloped 'feelings' masquerading as deep reflection. They all need mental enemas.

Why should Mrs. Bush lower herself to speak to these hillbillies?

[newzjunkey]

My own commencement at a private university, I had a speaker who 'admitted' in her opening when she was asked she asked by the university president to speak she asked, "Who turned you down?" She ran a local charity.

You do get bizarre choices for these overblown, largely meaningless events. Is anyone ever happy with a selected commencement speaker?

I suspect their objection isn't that Laura is "significant" not by her career efforts but by her dating choices. Sure she taught, she was a librarian but what has she DONE, on her own merit, to warrant the honour of speaking to these students? On that level, the "doctoral candidate" might have a point. Pity she's obviously blinded by left-wing reactionary instinct. No doubt she'll become a school principle or some other mess and ruin innumeral students educational careers in the process of miseducating them all the while plundering the taxpayers for excessive salary and benefits.

And what the 'hay' is the School of Education & Information Studies...and what would you do with a graduate degree in it?

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

Defund California . . .

[techcor]

Mrs. Bush should teach an internet/ distance learning class. It would be easy for her, the kids would love it, and it would blast the liberals to pieces (she would so inspire them to learn that the libs would be chewing on their tongues.).

[dano1]

These adult "graduate students" posted flyers around the UCLA Graduate School of Education saying "Laura Bush does not represent diversity". Apparently their definition of diversity is "only those who agree with us may speak." Taxpayers and parents of California take note. These deep thinkers are the people who very shortly are going to be responsible for educating your kids and preparing your kids' teachers to enter the classroom.

[dano1]

a doctoral student in [the prevention of] education.

LOL

[Peach]

Spoiled little stupid brats. The First Lady should not be subjected to their ignorance; she is far too valuable to those who have brains.

[T. P. Pole]

You know, I'd be interested in seeing who has spoken in the past.

At least the libs are indoctrinating their replacements well.

Have you read post #25?
HAR!!! Maybe they won't? Vote school choice canidates.
