Quote of the Day
Let me rephrase this. Supposed I handed you $1 Million dollars in cash to hold and keep safe for me every Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. And the place where you work and keep this treasure safe is public property — or at least open to the public. The building is not built like a bank or courthouse. It has no armed guards at all doors or other elevated security — other than a sign warning people about bringing weapons on to the property. Bad people know these facts.
Now let me add that 20 to 25 other people also hand you $1 Million dollars in cash as well, under the same conditions. Which means every Monday through Friday, from 8 to 3, you are holding and taking care of $25 Million. This is your job, you have promised to return the money, safely, to all the people every day at 3 p.m.
Now do you want to be armed?

The brainwashed teacher’s sign is additional essential context:
Some of them are not smart enough to understand the analogy w/o hand-holding and further explanation. Also, while there are a lot of good teachers, there are no small number who are way more emotional than you’d want armed. You really need to change some other laws, like making it easier to kick out disruptive students, more relevant and less socialist-grievance-oriented curriculum, etc.
Remember, most states require teachers to hold at least a Bachelor’s degree. That means every teacher is a product of at least 4 years of dedicated Leftist indoctrination and brainwashing (after the 13 years in primary school) before they can even be interviewed for the job.
Plus practically every school district gives salary increases for additional credit hours/degrees from the same brainwashing facilities.
I really wish Hillsdale would start an online certificate program in Homeschooling.
Qualification to start the Elementary section: Finish high school freshman year.
If you love children, why wouldn’t you stand ready to fight and die for them?
She’s obviously not a teacher of anything one would want their children to be around.
She’s not a teacher, she’s a commie propagandist.
Something tells me she won’t be teaching your machine gun classes Joe.
She isn’t the exception. Her views are mainstream in the educational world. Even when presented with facts that totally contradict her point of view- her mind is made up. Your children are not worth protecting. Pretty sure even her own child would be offered up as sacrifice to align with her ideology.
This is why so many families opt for homeschooling. This delusional Harpy would scoff at the notion of someone without her virtues being responsible for teaching children.
I have to disagree. She does think children are worth protecting. She simply has the misguided view that it is “somebody else’s problem”. “If only congress”… “Police can protect”. etc etc etc.
The reality is we are responsible for our own safety. All the time, everyday (even in places where security is provided for). Most days – our “safety” is no big deal, mundane threats – look both directions before crossing the street etc. Don’t eat the brown snow.
but every 1 in 1000…. Now comes an unexpected threat that must be dealt with in the moment, with what you have on hand.
Don’t try to apply rational arguments and scenarios to leftist idiots incapable of logic, reasoning or thought who ONLY operate on emotions…
“This is your job, you have promised to return the money, safely, to all the people every day at 3 p.m.”
“Promised to return the money…..” But there are no consequences for failing to do so. Tears, hand-wringing, pearl clutching, public anguish, certainly, but no jobs lost, no income sacrificed, no condemnation suffered, for the abject failure to anticipate negative occurrences and incorporate a workable plan to subvert them.
I’ve always wanted a job like that.
