16. I fear that ship has sailed.
Disrespect for teachers was the first target on the neocon checklist. It was an easy sell to self-centered discontents who had been caught cheating on the 8th grade history test and have blamed that teacher for ruining their life. The neocons knew they could count on the memories of middle school angst to generate blame for teachers as schools faltered under state mandated bad instruction, high stakes bad tests, and massive cuts in funding.

Just look on DU for the gullible. They pop up on these threads regularly to blame teachers and cheer corporate schooling.
