Nice to see when the schools are in terrible shape some teachers have the right priorites.

I dont need to re-read my article cause it is local news. The amount of parents and teachers involved is a tiny minority. That is the whole point. A tiny vocal minority of people worrying about what is PC get their way with the school system. This is real common in too many of the school in Alameda County.Crayz9000 wrote:So WHAT? If anything, most parents and community members around here are just dumbasses. We've got hordes of parents here who have NO FUCKING IDEA how to raise their kids, and they think that censoring everything is the answer.Next of Kin wrote:BTW, before you start tearing some teachers a new asshole re-read your article to see parents and community members were also involved.

I'm glad I'm in Rhode Island. We're as far from political correctness as you can get. Hell, we still celebrate VJ Day! Maybe we'll end up following our original intention and become an independent country. All hail the Republic of Rhode Island, the world's next superpower!

I don't think a lot of it is the teachers themselves, most of it is the administration and soccer mum parents groups. (A majority of leftover funding went to sports equipment for one of my old schools despite the fact we had plenty and the library was lacking, because one mum wouldn't shut up.)Queeb Salaron wrote:Is it me, or are educators becoming the dumbest people on the face of the earth?

I just wonder who the hell are these people that do this stuff? I know plenty of liberals who are pretty damn far to the left, but none of them support this PC nonsense, in fact, some are vehemently opposed. In fact, I've yet to meet any, save one. I don't understand it, where the hell are these people from? I swear, they live in a pocket diminsion, and occasionally pop out to pull this shit, then buy enough John Tesh music to make his latest album high up on the charts, put up a few posters of Hillary Clinton and then disappear into the night without a trace save their bullshit that they left behind.
I swear to god, I just don't understand this stuff.

Remember that thread about making our own PC terms? It turned out pretty funny!
To get back on topic, perhaps we should let Texas and California become new countries again. Then we'll invade and thrash them
Or maybe we should just emulate Lex Luthor............

Well, technically he's a moderate Republican, but he takes another step to the left every day. Although, we do have Patrick Kennedy [shudder].But isn't Senator Chaffee somewhere to the left of Ted Kennedy?
