Conservatives are smart enough to know that the system is “gamed”. Look at the distribution of liberal to conservative teachers (I’ve seen the ratio placed as high as 12-1). Who picks what teachers will be hired to fill openings?
The system is too broken to be fixed. The only workable solution is to give fed, state and local funding directly to the parents of students at all levels and to let them pick and pay for school that they want their child to attend (including home schooling).
True competition will drive reform and improvement.
That's a lame excuse to avoid even trying. I got hired in LOS ANGELES and I am conservative. I give the kids articles from Breitbart to read. I teach no left wing crap at all. I was on FR 6 years before I even became a teacher. And I'm former military and it was in my resume, so they knew who they were getting. No, this lame, sorry, crying "they're too much for us" BS is not flying with me.
