OT-American flag offends teacher

"azotic" fired this volley in news:4omHn.20254$ snipped-for-privacy@newsfe18.iad:

Part of the problem that allows teachers to assume positions of authority then foist their idea(l)s upon students is that some of them are literate. Few of the general population of middle-school teachers are actually well-educated; true enough, even though they have "degrees" in "general education" (more of a description of the character of what they learned, than the scope of what they'll do). But more of the radical types are functionally literate than the "equal-pay-for-all-regardless- of-skills" types.

Some of "us" who condemn them are not. Those who are not have no right or ability to fight back, using illiterate, inane commentary. It has no use, and exhonerates the radicals' positions.

I wholeheartedly condemn what that teacher did. I can also write a cogent, well punctuated and properly spelled treatise on why I condemn it.

Get a book.

"exhonerates" ? Is this a self-referential joke?

I'm getting jaded but teacher in my mind now is synonymous with indoctrinator. There are agendas and education is a battleground. Thank God my teachers tended to be libertarian and conservative for the most part.

You got it right. We really dont have many true teachers left. Most of todays teachers resemble the UAW members of the 1970's.

Illinois House kills school voucher bill Fervent lobbying by unions sinks idea to give students $3,700 to switch to private or parochial schools May 05, 2010|By Ray Long and Michelle Manchir, Tribune Reporters SPRINGFIELD - A measure to let students in Chicago's worst-performing and most-overcrowded elementary schools use taxpayer-funded vouchers to attend private schools was defeated in the Illinois House on Wednesday, giving teachers unions a major victory.

The landmark legislation would have made Chicago Public Schools the site of what experts said would be the nation's largest voucher program. Up to

30,000 of the district's 400,000 students could have left the weak schools they now attend, setting up competition for public schools.

The legislation got through the Senate in March after being championed by Sen. James Meeks, D-Chicago, and suburban Republicans. But by Wednesday, teachers unions had regrouped and its supporters found themselves pleading with opponents to overcome a furious lobbying effort to stop the bill.
