OH NO O'REILLY DIDN'T!

[pepperbear]

His talking point in a nutshell: it's the left wing agenda of tolerance and diversity that is at fault for the failure of our American educational system.

OK, I get it! So it's not:

"no child left behind", which is all about parroting and test scores rather than critical thinking, debate or anything else of substance,

or

the fact that schools across the nation are crumbling, but that's ok because the recruiter comes right to the campus,

or

the fact that music and art programs are vanishing while intelligent design and prayer are far more important,

or

the fact that our own president can't even pronounce words correctly, so "why give a damn?",

or

the fact that material worship and easy credit consumerism are aimed at our children every day, yet the schools bait and switch, suspending students for singing an innocuous spice girls song,

or

the fact that real progressive education reform will never be achieved. Why? One only need follow the $....





Yep, as long as we believe you, Bill, there'll be plenty of vapid cell phone reality tv wanna be's for the machine, because we certainly wouldn't want to create anymore of these type of people:

now would we?

So Bill, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for settling that one for me...I'll go back to watching American Idol now.....

(hey, look at that shiny thing, I better break my credit card out and buy it.....)

1. These two sites can debunk anything that Falafel boy says

about education: http://www.rethinkingschools.org/ and http://www.susanohanian.org/nclb.html

2. Man, I wish we could set up schools our way. Let the republicans ...

...have schools their way with zero tolerance or diversity and complete homogeneny. Our schools would out test them on any good sane test I'll bet.

3. As El Rushbo's influence is waning

O'Reilly's is waxing with the Koolaid drinkers of America.
Personally I cant stand the asshole, but the majority of my family just loves him. I think he is a sorcerer.

4. Just an FYI...

There's a right-wing-wackjob board I visit when I'm in the mood to mix it up.

I was just over there, and they have a thread about O'Reilly, and for some reason apparently they all think he's an idiot too.

Not for the same reasons we do, I'm sure, but those people on that site are bona fide card-carrying Kool-Aid drinking brownshirts and they were throwing O'Leilly under the bus.

I think it had something to do with some rant he recently went on; they were mad that he didn't point out how "horrible" the environmentalists were, or some other nonsense.

But my point being, I'm surprised he's still on the air at all.

5. Uh...Bill...diversity is the law in schools. You know, law abiding schools

and all that. Its kind of a thing in education, teaching citizenship and all that.

6. O'Reilly needs to be slapped with a large wet fish

[acmejack]

8. Repeatedly and vigorously

about the head and ears.

7. So if all the schools preached white supremacist

Christian Identity bullshit, all our students would be Phi Bet Kappa. PUT DOWN THE LOOFA, BILL!!

9. Does NASA have any interplanetary missions?

I have an astronaut candidate named William O'Reilly....

10. What O'Lielly thinks = What my neighbor's Chihuahua shits out tomorrow

I think Chihauhau shit is smarter...or at least more relevant.
