Rush does not want to offend his listeners. It is the same reason that churches have been so slow in responding to the education crisis in this nation.
In my county, the school district is the single largest employer in the county. No other business comes close in the size of the payroll or number of employees. Few ministers will bite the hand putting money in the collection plate and Rush isn’t going to bite that hand either.
“Rush does not want to offend his listeners...Few ministers will bite the hand putting money in the collection plate and Rush isn’t going to bite that hand either.”
Actually Rush has blasted them many times - he could care less if teachers are listening, but his show is event-driven, so if there’s nothing in the news on the subject, he generally won’t bring it up. You may well have a point about churches though.
But it’s not just the teachers and the others on the payroll, it’s the parents that are VERY, VERY, COMFORTABLE with the idea of getting ‘free daycare’ for 36 weeks a year, rather than having to pull-in their lifestyle a bit and either keep a parent home, or pay directly for school. I learned that the hard way, talking about my kids at work, no one wanted to hear it - they just figured they “born-smart”, which may or may not be true (and even if so, nothing special), but they were DEFINITELY “born-lazy” which also assures failure in today’s public schools.
