(20,729 posts)essay contests are national political news.
I'm interested in the deliberate, covert undermining of the public schools and of public unions.
Which is why I've researched the FDF and Parents United, both of which are, as suspected, those kind of organizations.
And that's the only reason this girl's essay came to our attention. And that's surely the only reason that an asshole racist like Glenn Beck had this girl on his show.
Beck and his fellow-travelers are the first to cry bullshit about legitimate charges of racism. For example, Beck tried to push the line that Trayvon Martin was a criminal.
But if you're someone saying *public school teachers* are racists -- so racist, in fact, that they *deliberately* refuse to educate black kids -- Beck and the rest of the fascists are all over that like flies on shit.
"Don't give up, Jada! Don't let them stop you from speaking out!"
Because those people have an agenda, and it's to break unions and establish charter schools that *they* can profit on.
They don't give a damn about this girl, about education for the masses, not any of it.
