"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones
"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra"
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche
"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke
“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier

“‘‘The choice of this selection was to provide a contemporary and multicultural figure to explore the unit on community,’’ the district said.”
Note that nothing was said about accurate…
SSG. Jeff beat me to the “accurate” part.
I wonder if they also included “the one’s” affinity for domestic terrorists? Just, you know, to balance things out.

Ho-Hum.
Just ANOTHER bit of evidence that our government skools have become nothing but liberal indoctrination centers.
The teachers union, and of course the educrats who infest the school hierarchy and the all-knowing education professors in the universities would insist that we sheeple are not smart enough to understand.
Home schooling. It’s not just for the kids, anymore.
Something just strikes me as odd about the teachers union. They say you need a teachers certificate to teach grade school and high school. Yet when I was in college most of my undergraduate courses were taught by grad students. Without a teaching certificate. Apparently having passed the courses themselves, they were then qualified to teach it.
Think of Lex, goes to TopGun and does well, asked to stay on as an instructor, no chit from the Fighter Mafia required.
So why is it that we think it takes some special educational background, something more than having graduated high school, to be a K-12 teacher? And who’s passing out these chits?
