The precursor to cable news was there:RaceBannon said:I warned my fellow Senators that giving temporary dictatorial powers to a popular war hero would doom the Republic but they were all too willing to give up their duties for the comfort of whores and wine

I’m going to probably catch a lot of shit for this, but for me it was when I was in middle school, and the Clinton-Bush-Perot presidential race was in full swing. For whatever reason the thought of a third party candidate fascinated me. I was glued to the TV for all the updates on the Headline News channel (Google that shit youngsters), watched all of the debates, Clinton’s appearances on Arsenio Hall, *and* Perot’s 30 minute paid infomercials on the national debt. The whole mess made for some of the most entertaining SNL political sketches ever.

And my point is they should be non-partisan. Of course figuring out curriculum is important. And I don’t want a political party anywhere near that.TurdBomber said:

I don't *think* I really argue it though, I find everything about politics so dumb anymore as it's nothing but cliched bullshit. Detailed policy debates trying to solve complex multi-variate problems are interesting, but those don't exist anymore. Dedicated servants trying to do what's best for their constituents and country don't exist anymore. It's become another game to try to play and win which will burn us eventually.
A dude I golf with, hardcore Republican, was railing about something with local politics and said how he hoped the Republican would win a School Board seat. (You can't openly run with a party for School Board here but you can be endorsed of course) I said I don't hope he wins because a political party shouldn't have any place on a fucking school board. His mind was just blown- the concept of running the schools to make best use of county resources without influence of a party platform had never entered his mind.

But if the majority of school board members are bought and paid for by the teacher unions, and in urban areas they most definitely are, then you already have a political party involved in making that decision whether the candidate puts a D after their name or not.whlinder said:

The teachers unions aren’t non-partisan organizations, they are left wing and almost exclusively Rat party supporters.
You want to take politics out of how the schools are run while ignoring 800 pound partisan gorilla in the room. -

I'm not disagreeing with you assessment of politics today. My disagreement is with your belief that a guy running as a Republican for a school board seat is going to inject party politics into how the schools are being running. Party politics is already there, and it's been there for years and just because someone may run as a non-partisan, if they are doing it with the backing of the NEA, they are injecting party politics into the job
-
So that was an anecdote of the Republican point of view, but I hold the same of Democrats and injecting party politics into that level of government. I don’t believe it should happen.
I realize that the reality is that teachers are unionized and unions skew heavily toward Democrats, but I believe the bodies overseeing schools should not have political motivations. And whatever controls or oversights need to be put in place to allow that to happen should happen. -
Teachers are dtf tho

So I run for Speaker of the House for our mock bullshit, win, and then proceed to rule with an iron fist making all the white shitheads do my bidding. Yes, 1990 was my high water mark in life. Worth it. Totally.

Arguing with Bob is like arguing with a door knob. No matter what, all school board members are bought off by the unions and are Democrats. They want to inject liberal view points into it education system and it's going to destroy our country. Any day now.whlinder said:So that was an anecdote of the Republican point of view, but I hold the same of Democrats and injecting party politics into that level of government.

I generally don't give much of a shit but to say that teachers don't push a liberal agenda is retarded
This has been known for like the last 60 years
Why is it you people always have to deny the obvious stuff?

You could try and argue against what I have actually said but we both know you’re too fucking stupid and you can’t, so you do what you always do Hondo. Create a bunch of straw men and fuck them right in the ass.2001400ex said:

99.9% of the teacher union political donations go to the Rats and left wing organizations but in the land of Hondo the dipshit that doesn’t qualify as any evidence that the teachers unions push any kind of liberal agenda. -
So you really think teachers across the country are primarily liberal? You do realize that their demographic is probably pretty close to the same as the general population, right?Pitchfork51 said:I generally don't give much of a shit but to say that teachers don't push a liberal agenda is retarded

About 77 percent of public school teachers today are female.
Despite the attention given to the need to recruit more teachers of color, little progress has been made in diversifying the profession. Overall, the percentage of White teachers has declined slightly from 84 percent in 1999-2000. In 2015–16, about 80 percent of public school teachers were White, 9 percent were Hispanic (an increase of 3 percent since 2000), 7 percent were Black, 2 percent were Asian, and 1 percent were of two or more races.
Yeah, that's a demographic that's just the same as the general population. Do you know anything? -

No idea about the gender make up, but 90% of public school teachers being leftists seems about right.

White women who have a shitload of student loans yet don't make any money is the demographic where 99 percent of the leftist horseshit comes from.
So, teachers.
And oddly enough (shocker I know) they are all looking to meet a dude to pay for them.
But like for real, they are super strong and brave. -
Public school teachers are 77% female and 80% white and yes they are heavily Rat party members. And of course Hondo the dipshit was completely ignorant of all of these facts.MikeDamone said:
