One thing's for sure…
Trump stinks
Trump Stinks!!! YEAH YEAH!!!!
Trump Stinks!!! YEAH YEAH!!!!
Trump Stinks!!! YEAH YEAH!!!!
Amen, Brother.
Stay upwind, America.
And our favorite shill-boy 2 Live Drew posted last night. Either he got out of jail, or they gave him some blogging privileges. Wonder how harsh the Virginia Department of Corrections is.
Virginia wasn't shill boy's problem. Putin put him in the Lubyanka because of his ineptitude. If he screws up again, he'll go to the Lefertovo, the one Russian prison worse than the Lubyanka.
This is how the good parent teats God's children:
Hey man!!! How was prison? Or are you still there and they gave you minimal blogging privileges? Were you incarcerated in Virginia for your actions with the tiki-torch brigade, or Lubyanka because Putin was punishing you for sucking as a troll?
Geez, Gerbils. Sure wish your President Trump hadn't promised Putin to leave Syria to him and Assad so they could victimize innocent Syrians.
Oh yeah, and how about Trump's forbidding the entry of Syrian refugee kids? You support that policy, right?
He only posts those pictures because they make him horny. That is how messed up his mind is.
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!

The Corporate Plan to Groom U.S. Kids for Servitude by Wiping Out Public Schools
Yawn. Another report from the fever swamps of the uber left conspiracy foundry.
Actually, in my experience, most business people support higher educational standards. It's the Bible-thumping crowd that fights against pubic education because it undercuts their 6,000 year – old earth theory.
Koch Brothers apparently believe that education is crucial, so they are going to destroy public schools to save it. How the Kochs are trying to shake up public schools, one state at a time Public support for private schools. Public schools stripped of all those pesky regulations and limits on contracts between districts and teachers. End the "certification" nonsense, as anyone can teach. End the university's dictating of educational standards and advocacy of methods. Use "efficient" measures like on-line instruction and computer-based instruction.
What always gets to me is the enthusiasm for various solutions, the things that "should" work according to their ideology. As if there hasn't been research on student achievement in various sorts of schools. And the pretty clear consensus that some students will adapt and be okay no matter where they are, some families will find a way to get their kids educated no matter what form of schooling is offered, and focused attention on a method of measuring will bring "success" by some students on that measurement.
There is no such thing as "separate, but equal." Money matters. Districts with declining amounts of money have decaying achievement in a narrowed set of educational outcomes.
Kids with engaged parents do better. Kids with multiple adults taking a personal interest in them do better. Kids from communities with high expectations and hopes do better. Kids with professionals in teaching and administration do better.
I have no idea why the Kochs don't want to invest the time and effort to develop a society that clearly enables parents to be involved, with other adults taking a personal interest in the kids, communities that set high expectations, and school systems that value and reward expertise. But thus far, they don't.
Amazon no longer funds ALEC. John is quite correct, however, that the Kochs despise public education. They don't speak for all business, however.

Well said. And what gets to me is when curriculum developers and textbook / test companies do spurious "research" on what "should" work, and then sell their product to needy school districts to pilot and be the guinea pigs for what is too often a product that does not fit the kids we have in the classroom. Grrrr. Pet peeve.
"It's research-based – will you help us prove our research?"
pubic education
You're right. They don't like sex education either.
See Koch brothers' policies on public education in action? Check out their home state of Kansas.
I have always liked this quote but integrity is not the same as class. You can be the same in private as you are in public but if you are a jerk in both situations then you are still a jerk.
Obama – Same person in public and private with class
Trump – Same person in public and private with no clue what class is.
Evangelicals – Who the hell knows whether they believe what they profess?

Grim news for America:
Of course, if your plan was to suck up all the wealth and leave a permanent underclass comprised of say, 99% of the population with no safety net, then congratulations — it's working!
I guess, if we’re lucky, we’ll get half of an economy back . . .
. . . someday?
Isn’t this about where the Laffer crew offers more tax cuts for the wealthy, as their surefire way to stimulate more growth and increased tax revenues? . . .
It workedin Kansas. Er….
