Bill Ayers and his Acolytes

Look who's teaching our teachers. Charlotte Allen, TWS at the American Educational Research Association (AERA) convention. Many parents are familiar with the constructivist approach to math in which there is no wrong answer--"so creative" as we struggle to teach our children ourselves, or exercise school choice if we can. One excerpt:

At the AERA sessions, I lived in an ideological Bizarro World in which "school reform" did not mean improving classroom instruction but rather, handing over multimillion-dollar state grants (in Illinois) to the control of, among other entities, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN)--a group being prosecuted for alleged voter-registration fraud in the 2008 election--so that ACORN can help direct the subsidization of the candidates of its choice for ed-school training. It was a world in which at a session on Queer Theory, one teacher-panelist announced, "I'll sometimes ask my students, 'Why can't a girl have a penis?' and you know, they start asking themselves the same question: Why can't a girl have a penis? Why can't a girl with a penis wear a skirt?"

Oh, yes, Bill Ayers was there. Pushing his and Barack's Dear Leader Education.
