Those who can't teach...

Corruption, dishonesty and a lack of integrity among the ranks of the teachers' union? Shocking...just shocking! But hey, as long as it's "for the children", it must be OK so let's increase their funding...AGAIN. They mean well. Is it any wonder we're churning out a generation of "knuckleheads"?
LOS ANGELES (AP) At least 75 California teachers helped students cheat on standardized exams since a new testing program began five years ago, according to a newspaper report citing state documents.

Incidents include teachers who gave hints by drawing on the blackboard or leaving posters on the wall, told students the right answers and changed the students' responses themselves, the Los Angeles Times reported, referring to documents obtained through a Public Records Act request.
Remember this the next time Kerry's campaign criticizes the Bush camp for catering to the wants and needs of special interest groups and abandoning our nation's children. What do they think the California Teachers Association is, a charity organization? Gimme a break.

They need to keep the country's public education system in the toilet. Otherwise, the next generation of voters would actually be able to think for themselves and see today's Democratic party as the bastion of hypocrisy they've become.

Fuck 'em.
