The problem with American education

Well it's impossible to put your finger on the problem because it is multi-faceted. But this is part of what's wrong.

You may remember my post from a few weeks ago about crashing the Tea Party. Well unfortunately, it got shut down because the creator advocated stealing people's SSNs. Oops. Not a good idea, don't do that. However, it's worth pointing out that the teacher who started that website was put on probation for insulting those idiots, but this guy in Alabama isn't even getting that. I don't think he deserves any real punishment, but one guy causes an uproar by poking fun at idiots while another guy's lesson on assassinating the president is swept under the rug? That doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

I propose we ship this teacher to Arizona, whose new laws against ethnic studies are going to eliminate discrimination and foster assimilation and tolerance. Maybe this math teacher can learn a few things about said tolerance in the America's new beacon of acceptance.

While I'm busy making fun of the Tea Party I do have them to thank for something. The Tea Party has given us Rand Paul, son of Representative Ron Paul who is famous for wanting there to be no government, or something like that. Yesterday, Rand Paul won the Republican nomination for Kentucky's open Senate seat. This is fantastic news for America because Rand Paul, like his daddy, wants to get rid of the government. Paradoxical isn't it, running for office so you can...do nothing? Anyhow, that's besides the point. The good news about Rand Paul is that his radical ideas are very likely to isolate intelligent republicans and terrify moderates, making it much easier for a reasonable Democrat to be elected in November. Thanks Tea Party.
