    It is not partisan.

    We've thrown money at it for decades. It seems to only get worse with time. A wiser approach is needed.

    I see, so if we agree it's satirical and if we don't it's called something less flattering.

    Let me tell you how great that Fing liberal paradise is for its companies. When it runs out of unemployment which it pays infinitely. They just take money on a few days notice from all private business accounts!

    My my son has a company there and they do this at least twice a year to his company.

    Things are a little $#@!ed up there and education is far from the worst.
    I am tired of everyone fighting with each other. This is all by design.

    What CAN you do? Here's an answer that is cheap and easy to impliment. Do it from your laptop where you now sit.

    Next time you see IDIOCY on campus, or in public office, or print, or television, take notes. Look up the teacher, or professor. Find the prof's department online, and email that fool with a copy to if not all of his department peers, at least fifteen or twenty of them.

    Be civil. Approach them on their own level, and call out their STUPIDITY and the consequences of it. If you do that, they almost never reply, because you have a valid point, of course. If you did not, you shouldn't have bothered to challenge their idiocy.

    The U of Alaska art teacher, who painted a picture of some homosexual, holding President Trump's head? Wrote to him.
    The Fresno State College teacher, who suggested violence and assassination? Wrote to him.
    Bill Ayers? Convicted terrorist who taught at U of Chicago and ghost wrote Barack Obama's books? Wrote to his colleagues.
    Also wrote to dozens of newspapers, government officials in state and local governments and television personalities.

    Speak out. Be heard. Or else don't whine here where it does VERY LITTLE GOOD!

    OK
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    I know! More money!
    That's BOUND to fix the problem.

    They've been jacking up the educational spending in California for decades now, and of course performance has gone
    down, so how about.... some more money! Suckers.

    Lord-Kelvin-Quotes-1.jpg

    "In 1950, we spent (in 1989 dollars) $1,333 per student. In 1989 we spent $4931. As John Silber, the President of Boston University, has written, 'It is troubling that this nearly fourfold increase in real spending has brought no improvement. It is scandalous that it has not prevented substantial decline.' " - William J. Bennett, former Secretary of Education, in The De-Valuing of America

    No, if you consider his posting history, it is rather obvious.

    Whether or not one agrees with it is irrelevant.
