There Is No Point In Becoming A Teacher Anymore

[woo me with science]

6. I get so sick of these posts that IGNORE Democratic complicity.

The assessments of the situation, whether it's the assault on education, the war policies, the police state, or the economic assault on the middle class and the poor, are always eloquent and accurate until you get to the fantastic, jaw-dropping, fly-in-the-face-of-all-history-and-evidence BULLSHIT claim that it is coming only from Republicans.

This is a BEAUTIFUL post. It is eloquent and emotional and cuts to the heart of what is wrong with the destructive policies in place for education now. But it purposely sanitizes what is really happening. Republicans are only a part of the problem here, and that's how the corporatists get away with what they are doing.

We will NEVER address what is happening to our country until we acknowledge that the assault is bipartisan and vow to fight back against it no matter who is pushing this crap.

Be honest. LOOK at whose policies these are. Look at Race to the Top. Listen to Obama's speeches. Be honest. This is NOT just the GOP.

People need to wake up and acknowledge that Democrats are doing this too. Corporate Democrats, right on board with this shit, over and over and over again.

This is important. Honesty is important. You cannot solve a problem if you refuse to acknowledge it.
