Incompetent teachers get rich, kids suffer

Original Article

Public schools (I prefer the term “government schools”) in Democrat-run cities have become a racket, plundering taxpayers’ funds and failing to deliver even a minimally acceptable education. The fact that Americans spend more on their government schools than any other country, and yet our students place near the bottom of standardized achievement tests is all the proof that one needs. We are being cheated on a massive scale, and the future of the nation is in peril when large numbers of children, mostly but not exclusively minorities, are being condemned to law pay and social status because they are so innumerate and illiterate.

According to the teacher's union, the solution to every education problem is to spend more money. Perhaps if they spent less time pushing their political agenda and more time teaching the basics, our kids would not be illiterate.

At one point this rhetoric was valid but no more. Teachers no longer teach but are forced by nea, unions, school districts to peddle propaganda. Every moment of their day is scripted and liberal administrators dangle teachers careers, loan debt, as tools to force compliance. I have a friend who is trying to make retirement and in her classroom actually teach without bringing the wrath of her supervisor . Before her integrity is questioned she is a widowed mom of 2. The title should read “incompetent nea and unions get rich”

Is there anyone more racist than a teacher who does not love the profession and chose to teach because they thought it took little work on their part and they got summers off. If they treated teaching like a profession instead of treating it like a job, then children who attend government schools would know how to read, write, and compute - basic skills needed to build all future learning. It's not that hard when you really want to educate the children.

The premise here seems to be that Black people can’t pass a competency test and this isn’t fair. What would the Black version of this test look like? Or should Blacks be exempt from taking the test? Is this what they think of themselves?

I read somewhere that the school board/state teachers union in Baltimore MD spends a whopping 40,000 per student. That's startling since a huge amount of high school graduates from our 29th largest US city are some of the dumbest in the country. Most of those kids can't read or write. The teacher's there care but most do not and are either incompetent of apathetic. It damn sure didn't help that the leftist teacher's union and democrats that are/were beholden to them like the late not great Elijah Cummings did nothing. Except get rich off of taxpayer money. It is shameful and like the title says the kids suffer. Especially in cities ran by corrupt, power-hungry democrats.

Where I live, the schools biggest concerns are sports, and the attendant sides, like the cheer and dance teams.

A simple picture proves his point quite nicely. Draw a graph from 1960 to the present, one line representing the average cost per student across America in the government schools and a second line representing our students' performance against other students in the world. The two lines cross somewhere after a few decades with the cost line shooting upward and the performance line going underwater. It soon becomes clear that that government schools are nothing but a huge political and money operation with students being shortchanged to a greater degree every year.

“Note the mental image evoked by the very word public: public school, public park, public health, public housing. To call something public is to define it as dirty, insufficient and hazardous. The ultimate paradigm of social spending is the public restroom.” -P.J. O'Rourke

Portland Has an Apparent Serial Killer.
His Accomplice May Be the Governor

Portland, Oregon, appears to have a serial killer on its hands, and the murderer’s biggest accomplice may be the governor who let him out of prison early. Before she left office, Governor Kate Brown commuted the sentences of people in prison who behaved well while under lock and key. She released others who she were near the end of their sentences, and chose to shorten the “sentences of 912 nonviolent inmates at risk of contracting COVID, granted 130 pardons, cleared death row, and wiped away cannabis possession convictions of nearly 50,000 people,” Willamette Week reported.

The consequences of avoiding reality are killing us … literally! American leaders and policy makers in the 21st century should have paid attention to the profound wisdom put forth by Ayn Rand in the last Millennium: “You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.” It pinpoints the basis for countless problems in America run by Democrats in recent years, clarifying why they occurred. Consider the following illustrations: 1. “You can avoid [the brain-dead] reality” of funding coronavirus gain-of-function research in a communist country whose long-term goal is to destroy you, “but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding [that] reality.”

Speaking at Turning Point USA’s ACTCON convention this past weekend, Roger Stone predicted that Michelle Obama will be the Democrat party’s nominee for president. He may be right. I certainly wouldn’t discount her being on the ballot or actually winning. Here’s Stone’s tweet with the video showing him making that prediction: Predicting the future is a notoriously tricky business, but I think that Stone’s prediction is at least plausible based on the known facts. In the short term, getting Biden out and Kamala in is reasonable on its face. Biden is degrading with exponential speed. It’s fine to keep him propped up in office to sign the necessary executive orders to advance

Hollywood once supported America and family values; it’s now antithetical to them. This means that many Americans are rooting for its collapse during a writers’ and actors’ strike over an industry change as significant and destructive as the advent of the car was to carriage makers. I’m a huge fan of pre-1960s movies, and I know a fair amount about the history of Hollywood. In Hollywood’s early years, the executives behind it were almost entirely Jewish immigrants who found a niche in a brand-new industry and filled it.

"I think I am not exaggerating when I say that the campaign against Russia has been won in fourteen days.” General Franz Halder, June, 1941, Chief of Staff, Oberbefehlshaber des Heeres Masters and commanders of history who have sworn that they have defeated an incompetent, disorganized, and corrupt Russian army are legion. For a time they seemed to have been correct. But there is a pattern to their encounters with the Russian army that is germane to the current Ukrainian offensive. In 1707, Swedish King Charles XII appeared like he could successfully invade Russia in the manner that he had defeated Russian armies.

According to CNN, the baggy of cocaine was “found in a blind spot for surveillance cameras.”

Word emerged the other day that Ray Epps is finally about to be charged for events on January 6, 2021. Sharp-eyed media consumers instantly noticed that, with this news, the mainstream media moved in unison to redefine their previous characterization of events on that day. Since the day Joe Biden took office, the administration has spent an inordinate amount of time, energy, and money to arrest and prosecute every random grandmother who took a picture inside the Capitol on January 6, ignoring the fact that Capitol police welcomed many into the building. The administration has also savaged the constitutional rights of some of those arrested by locking them up without bail

Either Hunter Biden is a delicate snowflake, or his legal team is beyond thin-skinned because the letter they sent to Donald Trump is laughable. The former president has been posting extensively about the cracked-out son of Joe Biden. He’s an easy target, and we got a window into his whacked-out life when the contents of his laptop got revealed. Essentially, Hunter’s lawyer told Trump to stop exercising his constitutional right to free speech because it could cause harm to Mr. Biden and his family (via ABC News):

The recently concluded riots in France are a dark omen for Europe and the wider Western world. The Algerian teenager whose killing lit the fuse has been likened to George Floyd, and indeed, there are striking parallels. Both were criminals who died while refusing to cooperate with law enforcement, for starters. But that is not the story Western audiences are getting from their press. Instead, they are told he is a martyr, a victim of wicked Europe. His blood is on the hands of post-colonial France. No one has bothered to ask the native French how they feel about their country coming under attack by hostile foreigners, of course.
Ten Reasons Why Affirmative Action Died 17 replies
Posted by DW626 7/13/2023 12:47:37 PM Post Reply
The end of affirmative action was inevitable. The only surprise was that such intentions gone terribly wrong lasted so long. First, supporters of racial preferences always pushed back the goal posts for the program’s success. Was institutionalized reverse bias to last 20 years, 60 years, or ad infinitum? Parity became defined as an absolute equality of result. If “equity” was not obtained, then only institutionalized “racism” explained disparities. And only reverse racism was deemed the cure. Second, affirmative action was imposed on the back end in adult hiring and college admissions.

Speaking in South Carolina today, presidential candidate Ron DeSantis blamed President Trump for the events of January 6, 2021, in Washington DC saying, “I think it was shown how he was in the White House and didn’t do anything while things were going on. Should he have come out more forcefully? Of course.” However, DeSantis affirmed he does not believe Trump’s transgressions amounted to criminal conduct. “But to try to criminalize that, that’s a different issue entirely,”(snip) Governor DeSantis then tacked to his preferred position that politicians should not be criminally targeted(snip) you don’t have one side just constantly trying to put the other side in jail.”

In an effort to reduce plastic use, New York will start fining restaurants and third-party delivery services that provide disposable utensils, soy sauce packets, and similar items without the customer requesting them. In late June, New York City announced plans to implement its new “Skip the Stuff” bill, which aims to reduce plastic use by fining restaurants and delivery services handing out unsolicited plastic items like ketchup and cutlery. Food vendors and delivery services have a moment to adapt. Actual fines won’t start being handed out until July of 2024, and until then, violators will only receive warnings, Bloomberg reports.

It’s not fun to be around, and it’s not all that much fun to be a part of. Unless it’s happening to Democrats, of course, in which case you root for as long of a fight as possible. But this year it’s not happening to Democrats, at least not yet, it’s happening to Republicans, and there’s a better than average chance it’ll screw up the country going forward.

If there was any confusion left about who Lia Thomas really is (besides being a man), this latest development settles the issue once and for all. Thomas initially gained fame for dominating NCAA women’s swimming as a “transgender” athlete. Prior to that, he had languished for years competing against his biological peers in the men’s league. Interspersed with what was being seen in public at the time was a battle behind the scenes. As multiple women have testified, Thomas invaded women’s locker rooms, flaunting his decidedly male genitalia with no care for their comfort. Meanwhile, college administrators essentially threatened the female athletes who objected, asserting that the issue was decided
