Dems Push Through Bribe to Teachers (and cops) to Continue the RaTT:<\/strong> House Democrats today pushed through a $26 billion jobs bill to protect 300,000 teachers and other nonfederal government workers from election-year layoffs.

Ok. About the Food Stamps: <\/strong>Though many in the education community are celebrating last week’s Senate vote for the so-called Edujobs bill, I can’t find any joy in it. In fact, I am shaken and ashamed because, to pay for it, the Senate snatched $11.9 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. www.huffingtonpost.com\/kati-haycock\/cutting-food-stamps-to-sa_b_674770.html<\/a><\/p>\n

Alpert on What the Rich Do When They Lose a School Board Vote\u2013Try to Abolish the Board:<\/strong> “These guys are trying to water down the school board because they didn’t like the way the election turned out,” said John de Beck, a longtime board member. “Himelstein is like the hired gun for the rich. He has no qualifications and he has no training in how to run a school.”

A Note from the Local Valedictorian: School is not all that it can be.<\/strong> Right now, it is a place for most people to determine that their goal is to get out as soon as possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am now accomplishing that goal. I am graduating. I should look at this as a positive experience, especially being at the top of my class. However, in retrospect, I cannot say that I am any more intelligent than my peers. I can attest that I am only the best at doing what I am told and working the system. Yet, here I stand, and I am supposed to be proud that I have completed this period of indoctrination. I will leave in the fall to go on to the next phase expected of me, in order to receive a paper document that certifies that I am capable of work. But I contest that I am a human being, a thinker, an adventurer – not a worker. A worker is someone who is trapped within repetition – a slave of the system set up before him. But now, I have successfully shown that I was the best slave. I did what I was told to the extreme. While others sat in class and doodled to later become great artists, I sat in class to take notes and become a great test-take
