| My night rant (Posted on 2/13/13 at 11:20 pm)
Talked to my friend earlier this evening who informed me that his kid watched this documentary in school today: I mean, WTF? This is a public school. Maybe our test scores would be on par with the rest of the industrialized world if we didn't spend our time teaching our kids that non-unionized businesses are bad. This, in my opinion, is absolutely criminal, and is a ginormous reason the democrats are dominating the electorate right now.

Stifling innovation. This is the new trend. I thought public schools were supposed to be impartial? Sup with that?

Can you link where a copy of that can be found. I find it funny that teachers are vilifying non union business like wall mart to their students......mean while the O and Biden lean on Walmart to stop selling bulk ammo.

I'm not a huge fan of Wal-Mart, but not for any "raging against the machine" kind of way. I just don't like doing business with them. This kind of thing doesn't need to be in a school. If your side is right, just teach facts and you'll naturally win kids to your side.

So one side is completely right on everything? What happened to making an informed decision on each individual topic. I'm a Republican but focusing on religious based hot button topics like abortion is what's killing them and helping the libs kill the economy.

Maybe you should encourage your friend to go to the school board and give his protest to the film being shown. Maybe even hire a lawyer if not satisfied or if other 'agenda' driven material is shown to his child. (good luck though if he like you lives on the left coast) Have a great day.

And yet you're expecting it to be a decent school?
