"I got to tell you, as someone who has covered Washington a long time, this is one of the most ridiculous controversies I've ever seen. And so far as I can tell, the biggest danger to kids in this whole thing is a lot of the parents complaining aren't smart enough to raise them very effectively -- cause if you think that a President coming into your kids schools saying work hard, stay in school is a danger to your kids, you've got some problems..."Video: You know, this kind of dripping condescension and willful ignorance is making at least one American mad as hell. I grew up in a small rural school district, Catholic grade school, public high school, and I worked hard and used the gifts God gave me to get into Harvard. Despite being indoctrinated with Ivy League smug PC elitism, despite my not growing up in Chicago I bet I know more about the colossal failure of the public school system than this elitist JERK. And I recognize manipulative ideological crap and radical mores when I see them.
And answer me this--why should we venerate someone who thinks it's more important to turn our kids into little radical tools and ACORN acolytes than to learn math and science? Answer me.
