A new documentary film, "Looking for Superman" suggests that American education is severly flawed. Is this view justified?

As a former history teacher, I believe that the majority of today's public issues are rooted in the quality - or lack thereof - of American education. Never in my own memory have I noticed so many students (and adults) who are so uninformed about even the most basic facts of history, civics, geography ... Recent studies suggest that U.S. schools rank well below other nations in the disciplines of math and science ... "Waiting for Superman" (which needs to be shown locally) says that the "blame" or "responsibility" for this sad state of affairs rests upon several factors - i.e. the distractions of TV and computer games; teachers' unions that support "tenure" for some incompetent teachers; uncaring parents; "pressure groups" that demonize public education to promote private, sectarian schools; politicians who burden schools with "unfunded mandates" like "No Child Left Behind" ... Or is it "all of the above"

Just what did we ever do to "earn" this constant assault of right-wing lies and deceit by mindless parrots like wrongriki ? And how is it that the republicans have totally blanketed the internet with thousands of 501 and 503 "tax exempt" organizations ? All funded by right-wing super PAC money ! citizen united my as$ ! All in an effort to control our lives ! Unfortunately the weak-minded are susceptible to that tactic ! SCARY !

Taft-Hartley . . .

“If the administration were to expand the subsidies to cover the Taft-Hartley plans, it’s likely that the price tag for ObamaCare would rise, though it’s unclear by how much.”

Taft-Hartley clearly states, and a number of court cases have confirmed, that non-union members can be compelled to pay only that portion of union dues that is attributable to the cost of representing employees in collective bargaining and providing the service that are given to union members. Indeed, the law specifically states that non-members cannot be required to pay for the union’s political activities or for the costs incurred by the union resulting from organizing employees.

“Once upon a time, as opposed to using them poster children for political purposes, unions used to actually come to the aid of distressed members.”

What wrongriki is trying to say in these forum topics is this . . . it will get the last word in almost every topic even if he has to post more of his right-wing propaganda and repetitive nonsense.One has to wonder , does wrongriki ever look at anything that isn't a biased republican crap factory ? Talk about brainwashed and indoctrinated ! Look its simple ! Read the Taft Hartley act and get the truth workers already have these rights ! ! Don't listen to wrongrikis republican lies and bullsh*t ! Taft-Hartley is the law of the land and wrongriki doesn't want anyone to know that all of its points are for nothing ! (we are ohio.co m)

“As opposed to helping their own union representative keep his home, union bosses and their lapdogs on the Left are more inclined to make someone like Marcus Hedger into a poster child to push their political puppets into action.”
