Fox's Brain Dead Gutfeld on America's Teachers: They're Corrupt, Incompetent and Lazy

[634-5789]

This has been a tough year for teachers. The COVID-19 pandemic has made it so that many of them can’t teach their students in public. They’ve had to adjust teaching their students virtually and deal with disruptions caused by the pandemic.

And while teachers want to go back to their classrooms, they also want to make sure that they can do so in a safe manner. According to Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld, that makes them lazy, incompetent and corrupt.

Co-host Juan Williams asked why Teacher’s Unions are being attacked for looking out for their member’s best interests.

Gutfeld ranted:

“Because they’re corrupt. They’re lazy. They’re incompetent. I don’t think it’s their fault though. Because I think the lack of competition has created this system where you now have a woeful generation of ambivalent educators. I know that’s a blanket statement but I’m talking about what I’m seeing with the teachers unions. I don’t think it was always like this.”

The Fox host continued,

“I mean, you know, just pull it out of the schools and give it to the students. I mean, we don’t fund the grocery store. We fund the person buying the groceries. We give them the food stamps. So this is what — how we’ve got to treat education. We’ve got to empower the family because there’s a huge imbalance. There’s a power imbalance between the teachers unions and the families. And the only way to change that is to create competition by empowering the families to be able to spend their money — which they can get instead of the public schools — on something that actually helps their kids.”

The attack on teachers is kind of a wild strategy for Republicans. While many parents are frustrated that their children haven’t been in school, they also understand that safety comes first.

1. Demonize, defund, destroy then privatize.

The GOP has been trying to eliminate our public school system for decades. They'd like to do the same thing to the USPS, Social Security, Medicare and other necessary publicly-funded services.

9. Did they fucking forget that the public education system in america is what

turned this country from an 18th century agricultural backwater into a global fucking superpower in about less than hundred years?

These idiots want all the Power. But dont have the first clue as to what makes that Power possible anymore.

They LOVE to trot out what a marvel this country is for entrepreneurs. They forget that most of those sell-able innovations first required a boatload of trained engineers that were bored as hell down on the farm.

2. Yes, teachers are under attack

I read in a large Arlington, VA education site that parents should be concerned that the lack of pay raises for teachers is why teachers are crappy. Untrue, obnoxious, insulting to say teachers are crappy..... but wait, yeah, how does this affect the bottom line? Yes, the cure for what Republicans see as crapy teachers is pay raises for teachers!!!! No more being a well educated, self sacrificing teacher, get the cash.

6. Gutfeld doesn't need to shit.

He is already overflowing with it.

4. Republican propagandists have been attacking teachers...

... for years.

I remember hearing Limbaugh do it long ago, and it confused me at that time.

It's another one of their many distractions.

5. The GOP has been attacking teachers forever. GHW Bush called teacher's unions the greastest evil in

country.

7. Critical thinking skills are a danger to Fox News and the Republican Party.

Incurious people lacking critical thinking skills vote Republican. So do sociopaths.

Good teachers promote critical thinking skills and scientific inquiry. Good teachers foster the natural curiousity and kindness of children, they don't beat it out of them.

That's why authoritarians fear good teachers.

11. Whenever I hear someone bash teachers in public...

It's instantly a dead giveaway that their opinions on the subject come from Fox News. And it's also a very high probability that the rest of their opinions are garbage too. And as the son of a former teacher, this shit offends me to no end.

12. Not The Teachers I Know

And, after 2+ years of subbing in 14 different schools I know dozens(plural) of teachers.
His description fits NONE of those teachers.
