Teenagers Speaking The Truth...

Now if we could only get the politicians to speak the truth as well. If someone would not be afraid of getting up in front of the cameras in America and speak these truths, maybe...just maybe they would get the majority of votes.

Gov. Christie Answers Questions

A teacher from New Jersey had her "lunch" handed to her by Gov. Christie. He told her the actual truth, not the "sories" her union leaders have been feeding her. It is about time that people wake up and see what is happening around them.

It get interesting around 1:24, but continue watching past that and see how he explains things in detail to her.

$23 Billion Bailout For Teachers

You may not have heard about this one, but the Obama administration came out Thursday in support of emergency education funding legislation that would provide $23 billion to preserve teacher jobs in the face of massive impending layoffs across the country.

Wow, now let me understand. We bailed out the housing, banking and auto industries, but now we are going to bailout the teachers union. We will give $23 billion to the teachers union, but only $2 billion to the firefighters and police.

"Duncan's letter, which received White House support, urged Congress to include the emergency funding in an upcoming supplemental spending bill to fund military operations and other expenses."

Now, they are going to slip this into a defense/military spending bill. Bailout teachers and military spending...now they are similar, huh? That is how the CONgress critters do things, attach one spending item to another spending bill. The reason they will get this passed is who want to be seen denying the military funding. If you vote against this when you run for re-election, your opponent will show you voted "against" our military. Of course you won't be able to explain that you supported the miltary, but just didn't support our poor teachers....oops, you don't want to do that....okay, I'll vote for it. This also appears that this funding will come from our "regular" federal budget and not the stimulus spending bill funds. Why not? I don't know, but I'm sure they have a good reason, just like the reason they are trying to keep this hush-hush.

"We know that economic prosperity and educational success go hand in hand, which is why the Obama administration is concerned by looming state and local budget cuts that threaten the jobs of hundreds of thousands of teachers across the country, Domestic Policy Director Melody Barnes wrote in a blog posted yesterday to the White House website."

I call B.S. on this one. We all know that the teachers union was one of Obama's biggest financial supporters and this is just him watching out for another one of his supporters. They state they are concerned about the "hundreds of thousands of teachers" that may have their jobs threatened, but what about those millions of people that have lost their jobs. Where was their industry/union bailouts?

"In addition to state budget shortfalls across the country, stimulus funding for education is also winding down. The Recovery Act, specifically the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund, has helped save upwards of 300,000 education jobs. Since the Recovery Act was enacted, the Education Department has provided roughly $100 billion to states. The Harkin bill would, in essence, be an extension of the state funding."

So, we have already used the "stimulus" to a tune of $100 billion to save 300,000 education jobs and now we are going to spend another $23 billion. WOW, that's $410,000 per job saved. That's enough to let those 300,000 teachers be unemployed for 8-10 years if each was paid that $410,000. That is not fiscal responsibility!

Those that are unemployed should be really ticked off.

Don't We Live In America?

Students at a high school in California (I know that's the problem) were asked to turn their shirts inside out because they had an American flag on it. This represented a "incendiary" that would lead to fights on campus, said the administrators. WOW. Has it come that you cannot wear an American flag at high school? Now this was done on Cinco de Mayo, but that should not matter.

Now this was reported..."But to many Mexican-American students at Live Oak, this was a big deal. They say they were offended by the five boys and others for wearing American colors on a Mexican holiday." I wonder if the reporter did their homework? Cinco de Mayo IS NOT a Mexican holiday. Mexico does not even celebrate Cinco de Mayo. According to Wikipedia Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico's Independence Day, the most important national patriotic holiday in Mexico.  "I think they should apologize cause it is a Mexican Heritage Day," Annicia Nunez, a Live Oak High student, said. "We don't deserve to be get disrespected like that. Oh, but it is okay to disrespect the boys for wearing their Nations flag on their shirt!

We have people running our schools that are not informed. They are following the Politically Correct crowd and not knowing what they are doing or enforcing. This is a shame as it does not let the Mexicans know what their true heritage is but also steps on the first amendment rights of the Americans. Get your child out of the government schools and start teaching the the important things like The Constitution as it seems many teachers and administrators have forgoten what is in The Constitution.
