Tucker Carlson suspects school indoctrination plot because children are ‘just learning too much’

[RandySF]

Fox News host Tucker Carlson asserted over the weekend that American teachers were assigning less homework because they were lazy union members and wanted to hide the curriculum from parents.

During the Sunday edition of Fox & Friends, Carlson noted that many schools had argued that students should spend time in the evenings with their families.

“But is this really about the kids or could it be a move by teachers unions to get teachers to do less work for, of course, the same pay?” he asked Whitney Neal, a former teacher with the Koch brothers-funded Bill of Rights Institute.

“That’s a great suspicion,” Neal agreed. “As much as we don’t want to look at teachers that way as wanting to eliminate the amount of work they have to do, I almost think this is more of a ploy to keep parents out of the classroom, to limit the involvement parents have on what’s going on with teachers. Because if kids aren’t bringing home homework, the parents don’t really know what’s going on.”

1. Now they are complaining because there is too little homework?

The "usual" complaint is that teachers assign too much homework because they are too lazy to teach it during the school day.

Well, either way, it's still because those spoiled rotten, overpaid teachers are just too damn LAZY!

3. Tucker's problem is he learned just enough to be dangerous.

But not enough to be a helpful, caring person.

4. Never have I seen such a legitimate idiot before Tucker Carlson. He's the quintessential idiot.

Idiot in this case can be defined as "a completely uninformed person who, vastly overestimating their knowledge of something and overall intelligence, refuses to educate themselves even a little bit despite an overwhelming ability and ease to do so."

Every comment Carlson makes proves further how misinformed he is, and yet he is totally clueless to this fact.

5. Yep. You know, it's a strange reality when someone like myself (or you) know people from...

...the scale of good friends to casual acquaintances and all of them seem to be way smarter than most of the hosts on conservative talk shows.
Seems like we should get some sort of Medal or badge or even a coupon for a 1/2 gallon of ice cream for putting up with this crap.

6. Uh oh. Two independent thought alarms in one day. The children are over stimulated!

Willie, throw out all the colored chalk in all the classrooms!
