Re: Death knell sounding for US education system.
No kidding.

Public education was always THE biggest threat to the elites and I guess even dumbing it down wasn't enough for them.

The vouchers thing is bullshit. They'll wind up with a system where they are only given to either bright mathmatically inclined sell-outs or the trashiest most hopeless kids so then they can turn around and say "see, they're just all meant to be poor!".

Just watch.

Great way to bust the under-performing, terroristic teacher's union...and give parents a voice once again in how their children are educated.

Kudos to Louisana!!

The vouchers have brought in a flood of new applicants and the promise of steady income from taxpayers.

I do think the school system is a total failure as it stands, something does need to change.

About time! LA's been like dead last so privatizing sure couldn't make it any worse than it already is.

The private sector will do a much better job of educating those children.

Re: Death knell sounding for US education system.
Public education is broken on so many levels that this maybe the only option.

I have first-hand experience and every time a brilliant idea surfaces by an equally brilliant colleague it ends up being stymied by some untalented administrator, ignorant and unenlightened school board, destroyed by an ineffectual tenured highest senior union employee and then unfunded by some government loophole.

Burn it down, now, because nothing is working the way it should and the good and hardworking individuals who still care about kids and the future of this nation are exhausted by all the bull shit!

I'm counting the days until the end of the school year and do not relish coming back in the fall...

It is not the only option: it is broken on purpose.

That way working-class and middle-class kids that are intelligent and innovative can't compete with the upper-class's moronic offspring for the good jobs and in business.

There’s a reason for this, there’s a reason education SUCKS, and it’s the same reason it will never, ever, EVER be fixed.

It’s never going to get any better, don’t look for it, be happy with what you’ve got.

Because the owners, the owners of this country don't want that. I'm talking about the real owners now, the BIG owners! The Wealthy… the REAL owners! The big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions.

Forget the politicians. They are irrelevant. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice! You have OWNERS! They OWN YOU. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought, and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls.

They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying, lobbying, to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I'll tell you what they don’t want:

They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. Thats against their interests.

Thats right. They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table and think about how badly they’re getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago. They don’t want that!

You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork. And just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shitty jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it, and now they’re coming for your Social Security money. They want your retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street, and you know something? They’ll get it. They’ll get it all from you sooner or later cause they own this fucking place! Its a big club, and you ain’t in it! You, and I, are not in the big club.

By the way, its the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head with their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table has tilted folks. The game is rigged and nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care! Good honest hard-working people; white collar, blue collar it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on. Good honest hard-working people continue, these are people of modest means, continue to elect these rich cock suckers who don’t give a fuck about you….they don’t give a fuck about you… they don’t give a FUCK about you.

They don’t care about you at all… at all… AT ALL. And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. Thats what the owners count on. The fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick thats being jammed up their assholes everyday, because the owners of this country know the truth.

Its called the American Dream,because you have to be asleep to believe it.
