   great news.  there apparently ARE legislators out there that not only see how bad things are, but are actually willing to fix it.

The Svengali hold that hag still has over tens of millions of Americans is frightening. We are a nation infested with incredibly stupid, incredibly asleep and insufferably ignorant people who will believe any lies that come from their "side". No offense to poster child CWG the Ohio State/liberal mindrot fanatic.

 more on this evergreen state U story... someone videotaped their behavior, and now the student 'activists' are furious.  they want it taken down, and are threatening to sue.

  i couldnt watch the whole video.  the behavior is just repulsive to me.  youtube commenters, again, give me some hope for humanity.









  there was a discussion about the college girl in the video who couldnt read... this was interesting (if true).  i guess is the real state of our education system:

What I heard was like this: teachers have the dilemma to either fail a horde of loud, rude, obnoxious and scary kids and face having to try to teach/survive them next year or pass 'em on up. The cycle keeps repeating, getting more and more corroded.

I just finished the year as a biology teacher at an all black school. After the first semester was over, and dozens of kids were failing tons of subjects (some of whom literally left quizzes blank and turned in exactly zero HW assignments), the principal held a meeting blaming us for those F's, and he told us that we needed to give them "make-up work" to get their grades up. I could read the tea leaves, and thought there was no point in trying to maintain real academic integrity, so I assigned this kid a two page essay that was easy, badly written and sloppy but I said whatever and brought his 30% in the class up to a 70. I had no choice. And the school prides itself on getting all these minority kids scholarships to universities. But the grades are in most (not all) cases not deserved. Your comment was accurate. I passed the loud, rude and obnoxious ones because I didn't want to deal with them anymore. And they're going to get free college and immediately flunk out.

This is absolutely true.
But you realize the entire post would be equally true if you replace "that hag" with "that orange assclown."

Way too heavily edited to be relevant.

No it wouldn't! The dilemma our education system is in can not be placed on Trumps shoulders. The left has caused the downgrade of our schools and educational system for years and years and it has nothing to do with Trump. Teachers are certainly not the only ones at fault here, parents or lack thereof is the first culprit, school systems that pass the ignorant through just to get rid of them. Colleges that coddle these snowflakes make me sick and I hope they lose all their funding and are shut down. Society as a whole has failed our children and setting them in the corner or slapping their hand instead of properly disciplining them has given us this situation. I don't know if it will ever get fixed.

Interesting, but none of it has anything to do with what I said, which is simply that both Hillary (the hag) and Trump (the orange assclown) have "Svengali holds" over 10s of millions of Americans, AND that there are stupid and ignorant people on The Left as well as on The Right who will believe any lies coming from their "side."
As I've said before, stupidity is apolitical.
