Rare Parrot a year agoI’m going to be even-handed here and point out that Kaczysnki’s “OMG a politician voted for/said something different” in the past posts are shallow and stupid. Hell, I think Santorum’s a total git, but I accept the fact that he could change his mind, decide differently based on new facts. If you’re going to do “gotcha” journalism, you’re going to have actually put some work into it. America needs more shitty journalism about as much as it needs more shitty politicians. Stop being part of the problem.

Jordan H. a year agoAnyone who wouldn’t want to increase the availability to education is ignorant. Better access to education will mean a more intelligent society of people. America is already behind and does nothing for the education system paying teacher 35,000 a year at most while other countries pay their teachers in the 100,000 and give them tools to educate future members of society. We are behind every nation in education of world views, economics, language, and just basic things that will improve our people and our country. Being a teacher is hard work it is no cake walk like people believe. Every child determines whether that teacher keeps their job or not and it’s hard to teach a class of 30 or more children that are on IEPs or who just don’t care. The more help our school systems get the more educated America will become.
