They already eat hummus, should be an easy transition.

In addition to the obvious benefit of public education, it's nice to see a local government function giving El Federales the finger.

Yes, our free market capitalist system is much more advanced. The Wall Street cleptocracy already has chauffeurs.

TFA is a dot on the trend line of parental and educational laziness, IMHO. Parents slough off responsibility for their kids' educations to schools of questionable quality. The schools in turn palm of their work to computers. It's sad, and the only effective remedy is parental re-involvement.

I knew the schools sucked when my son was reading 3 grade levels above his peers at age 6. Now he's a sophomore in High School, and further along (knowlege-wise) toward his BSEE than most e-school juniors because I take the time to not just nurture and encourage but actually teach him at whatever level he is ready for. He's 15, and has built his own Siemens S7 PLC lab project. His science classmates won't get Ohm's Law till next year. Pity them.

We can blab all day about how to fix teh skoolz, but when it comes to your own kids, give them your best. As a parent, you owe it to them. The schools aren't going to do it for you.

We had such rules once. I think we called them the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

They used to work pretty good, until we started allowing the will of the Military Industrial Complex and Wall Street to supplant the will of the people.

Those were the days, my friend. We thought they'd never end.

I wonder if the judge will be able utter the phrase "dismissed with prejudice" while laughing his robe off.

The gods themselves strive in vain to improve PowerPoint usage.

Denier is certainly more polite than what they really are: idiots.
