National Education Association to Double Members’ Dues Spent on Politics

Posted on February 27, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Even as it tops the list of organizations spending money on political causes, the National Education Association (NEA) is planning to double the amount of its members’ dues spent on politics so that it can spend yet more on political campaigns — and all left-wing causes to boot. Last year the NEA teachers union spent […]

Wisconsin’s largest teachers’ union is an extremely profitable insurance business that just happens to support education on the side

Posted on February 27, 2011 by Doug Ross

Like me, you may be a little confused about the nature of the fight between the public sector unions and Wisconsin Republicans. After all, the unions are just upset about having to pay for some of their benefits, right? Wrong. …the Wisconsin Education Association Council, the largest teachers union in the state, has grossly abused […]

VIDEO: Absurd Leftists Fool People Into Fearing That Wisconsin Budget Bill is Crafted to Kill People

Posted on February 26, 2011February 26, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Wisconsin’s MacIver Institute reports on how left-wing radicals are fooling sick people in Wisconsin into imagining that Governor Walker’s budget proposal is meant to kill all sick people. Here is one of those poor people that have been bamboozled into imagining that they are going to be killed by the state of Wisconsin because Governor […]

Union Admits It Hates Voters And Loves Communist Imagery With Help of Dropkick Murphys Band

Posted on February 25, 2011February 25, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Proving that there seems to have been a good reason that in many eras of American history the “Irish Need Not Apply,” a bunch of drunken morons calling themselves the Dropkick Murphys have added their off key voices to American union thuggery by writing a protest song that the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) has […]

All Teachers Unions Must Fall, Not Just Wisconsin’s

Posted on February 24, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

The lies that have been peddled by the unions in Wisconsin are legion. They are claiming that Walker has a budget surplus he’s hiding, he isn’t. They have been claiming that it “isn’t about the money,” but it is. They have even claimed to be “sick” by having real doctors issue falsified sick letters so […]

Wisc. and Ind. Democrats: Union Cash Driving Democrats to Run and Hide

Posted on February 23, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

With Democrat state legislators in Wisconsin and now Indiana fleeing their states so that they don’t have to do their job — just call them fleebaggers — it would be easy to assume that Democrats are cowards. If not cowards, then petulant children throwing temper tantrums because voters did not give them a power-lock majority. […]

Wisconsin Teachers: Putting Kids at Risk

Posted on February 22, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Why do these teachers hate Wisconsin’s kids? A reader named Tom from Des Moines, Iowa, emailed me and asked some pertinent questions of these recalcitrant teachers. I have asked some of these questions here myself and I have heard a few of them floated on Twitter, Facebook and the radio, but it is good to […]

No Truth In Left’s Wisconsin Union Support or Its State Budget Surplus Story

Posted on February 21, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

First came the disgrace of supposedly intelligent teachers in Wisconsin sporting hundreds of signs calling Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker “Hitler” and now comes the entire liberal blogosphere and it’s echo chamber in the left-media establishment claiming that Gov. Walker has “ginned up” a budget shortfall when he actually has a budget surplus. One wonders when […]

Wisc. Union Thug: ‘First They Take Away Unions, Then They Take Away The Jews…’??? Unions Want Legalized Theft, Plain and Simple

Posted on February 20, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston Every so-called teacher in Wisconsin needs to be removed from the classroom and should not be allowed to return until she can prove that she’s become educated enough to understand that no politician in Wisconsin is “just like Hitler.” These thugs latest claim is that “it’s not about the money” but […]

Great: One of the Most Violent Union Thugs Now Appearing With Thug Teachers in Wisconsin

Posted on February 18, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka has decided to flock to the side of thug Wisconsin teachers on Friday. This should not be much of a surprise. Trumka understands that this battle could serve to galvanize anti-union sympathies all across the country, and rightfully so. With the hate and “violent rhetoric” being employed by these thug teachers […]

Tennessee County School Board Fires Teachers Union

Posted on February 5, 2011February 5, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Now this is more like it. Back in October of 2010 the Summer County, Tennessee School Board decertified the Sumner County Education Association (SCEA), the union for county teachers, because it no longer satisfied the law by counting as members fifty percent plus one of the total number of employees requiring a teaching certificate. This, […]

British Public Schools to Push Homosexual Curriculum

Posted on February 4, 2011 by Dave Blount

The totalitarian moonbattery that holds sway in British public schools has taken the final plunge into absurdity with a curriculum that features gay math, geography, and science. No matter what the subject, kids will be taught to revere the depraved and disease-spreading homosexual lifestyle. Examples: Maths — teaching statistics through census findings about the number […]

Ecofascist Teacher Makes Example of Six-Year-Old

Posted on February 2, 2011 by Dave Blount

To instill eco-obedience, our moonbat rulers have to start young, before we're capable of realizing that their rules are arbitrary and meaningless, serving only as an excuse to exercise coercion for the sake of coercion. For example: A couple in Laval, Que. has sparked a fierce debate over how far schools should go to teach […]

As We Lose Our Jobs, Unionized CA College Profs Want More

Posted on January 28, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Without question we are living through the worst economic times in generations and Barack Obama’s policies aren’t helping alleviate the pain. Pain is, indeed, the watchword, too. Nearly everyone knows someone that has lost his job. Nearly everyone has lost money for their retirement. Everyone is feeling the pain. And no one is very sanguine […]

Palin Derangement Syndrome Prevents Bristol’s Appearance at University

Posted on January 28, 2011January 28, 2011 by Robert Stacy McCain

Nothing says “academic freedom” like kowtowing to a few hundred students who signed up for an anti-Palin Facebook page: Anger over a decision to pay Bristol Palin several thousand dollars in student fees to talk to Washington University students about abstinence led to a decision Thursday night to nix Palin’s appearance on a panel here […]

Newspaper Ignores Facts in Teacher’s ‘Vagina Dance’ Song Controversy

Posted on January 18, 2011January 18, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

It isn’t just national issues that the Old Media misreports. As we focus on the “big” stories of the day, we often overlook the local scene and the left-wing excuse for “reporting,” therefrom. This is a perfect example of that. Imagine you are a sophomore in high school and your sex ed teacher forces you […]

Emanuel Pushing Anti-Teachers Union Line in Race for Chicago Mayor?

Posted on January 11, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Rahm Emanuel is not the union’s favorite man. He has had union detractors since his days pushing the North American Free Trade Act (NAFTA) during the Clinton administration. Since then there have been other clashes between Emanuel and unions even as he served President Obama as his Chief of Staff. Now, as he takes after […]

What’s So Elite About The People Who Attend Elite Universities?

Posted on January 10, 2011January 10, 2011 by John Hawkins

Michael Medved takes issue with Sarah Palin specifically and others in general for having a bit of disdain for the people who attend our elite universities: It’s healthy, even natural, for Americans to feel populist resentment against elites that base their status on inherited wealth and family connections. But it’s toxic, misguided and profoundly stupid […]

While Teachers Are Laid Off, Fortunes Spent on School Butterfly Gardens

Posted on January 4, 2011 by Dave Blount

Teachers have been getting laid off right and left in Florida’s Broward School District. Despite all the taxes, the money just isn’t there to pay them. This gives an idea of where it went: For years, Weston developer Roy Rogers planted gardens designed to lure butterflies to Broward schools, using volunteer labor and donated supplies. […]

Posted on December 29, 2010December 29, 2010 by Dave Blount

The latest zero tolerance educratic insanity reaches us from Sanford, North Carolina: An athletic and academic standout in Lee County said a lunchbox mix-up has cut short her senior year of high school and might hurt her college opportunities. Ashley Smithwick, 17, of Sanford, was suspended from Southern Lee High School in October after school […]

Child Molesting Teacher Can’t Be Fired Thanks to Union

Posted on December 28, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

In 1997 a Brooklyn teacher was accused of attempting to molest a sixth-grade girl at PS 138. As it happened, he admitted the behavior, but no criminal charges were filed when all was said and done. Still one would think the fact that he inappropriately fondled a teen should be enough to get him fired […]

Child Hauled Off to Prison for Using Magic Marker in Class

Posted on December 23, 2010 by Dave Blount

When will miscreants learn that unless you’re an illegal alien, crime doesn’t pay? A 13-year-old boy was arrested Friday for using a permanent marker while in class at his Oklahoma City middle school, a violation of an obscure city ordinance. According to an Oklahoma City Police Department report, the boy was spotted “in possession of […]

How’s That Liberal Education System Working? 23% Of High School Students Fail Military Exam

Posted on December 22, 2010December 22, 2010 by William Teach

You know how the Left always talks about the members of the military being idiots (except when Democrats need to win an election)? Well, then, what would this say about the liberal education system? Nearly one-fourth of the students who try to join the military fail its entrance exam, painting a grim picture of an […]

40% of Chicago Public School Teachers Send Own Kids to Private Schools

Posted on December 20, 2010December 20, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

Liberals love to claim that the public school system is the shining success story of the American political system. And even when the schools break down in effectiveness, liberals double down on their support for them and insist that we spend ever larger chunks of the taxpayer’s money to “fix” them. Of course, even as […]

Challenging the notion that it’s beneficial to a society to have every citizen highly educated

Posted on December 14, 2010December 14, 2010 by Bookworm

This is a somewhat random post, since I’m mushing an idea around in my mind, and would love to have your input. The start for this post is my upbringing. I was raised in a European household (although that household was located in America). Both my parents came from the educated class, but both were […]

(Video) Proof That British Students are Morons

Posted on December 14, 2010December 14, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

Last week thousands of coddled British students rioted because the British government decided that its children would have to… gasp… earn their own way through college. No longer would these petulant brats be given a free ride through higher education says the government. And these punks are not very happy about it. Well, one dimwitted […]

Illinois School Uses ‘Stimulus’ $$ For Raises and Bonuses While Raising Property Taxes

Posted on December 10, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

Arrogance is an ugly thing. But it seems that Grayslake School Board Superintendent Ellen Correll has it in spades. Not only did she and four other board members vote to increase its tax levy on the community, but she also announced that she used federal “stimulus” money to dole out raises and bonuses to teachers […]

The morality of education and the DREAM Act

Posted on December 8, 2010 by Bookworm

I don’t see Harry Reid having the political umph to pass the DREAM Act, but I also never imagined back in 2007 that Barack Obama would be President, so what do I know? I do know that I have a problem with the DREAM Act, and that’s despite the fact that there are some very […]

Mental Ward Loses Appeal

Posted on November 25, 2010 by Dave Blount

Among the many things we have to be thankful for this Thanksgiving: hebephrenically anti-American professor Ward Churchill — who denounced those who died during the Muslim atrocities of September 11 as “Little Eichmanns” — has lost an appeal in his effort to sue his way back into the classroom: The Colorado Court of Appeals … […]
