The nitwits that run my school think the NY Post is an appropriate resource...
for teaching Language Arts... and really everything else. The New York Post.

For this reason they import it into the school daily in sufficient #s for every adult and child. ( I've been able to keep it out of my room so far. No guarantee I'm going to have that professional discretion much longer.)

I'm piggy-backing, BTW, on the following GD thread started by proud2BeLib:

These people are going to be *evaluating* me.

People don't know. They simply do NOT KNOW how crazy and backwards this whole $$$chool "reform" fad is.

It's NOT reform. It is *NOT* reform.

NOT. Reform.

1. Why the hell
are they doing that? And why the Post? Even I know that paper is garbage and I've never read it.

2. I'm told they get it gratis.

But they tell me a lot of things.


And because it's sort of the unofficial mouthpiece of the power elite.

And... because they're "nitwits".

4. Our schools get the right wing rag owned by Richard Mellon Scaife.
It's called the Tribune-Review. Nothing but conservative propaganda.

5. He's the "Hillary Murdered Vince Foster" cuckoo?
Yeah. Good. Right.

Let's spend some taxpayer RTTP bucks making this creep richer than he already is.
