Arm Yourself With Education!

New Rule - Anyone who says that we need to bring guns into our schools, must immediately shut up and wear an I am a dunce hat!

The stupid is EVERYWHERE:

From Texas republican Governor Rick Perry:











To Paul Ryan(R- Hates Santa Claus) mentor and former "education secretary Gamblin Bill Bennett:




To Texas republican Louis Gohmert, to Wisconsin republican Frank Lasee, to Nebraska republican state Sen. Mark Christensen, to the Michigan legislature actually allowing guns in the classroom and the list goes on...

While it is not surprising that these anti - intellectuals are this ignorant, what does surprise me is that they have ever reached positions of power. I guess they do not remember that Columbine had an armed security guard. How did that work out for them?


I have a better idea, why don't we arm our teachers with up to date text books, and technology, and buildings that are not falling down and proper training and respect and smaller class sizes and more support staff, etc... You get the idea!

A Sign of the Coming Apocalypse?

Or Just a completely ridiculous idea?  

Talk about really bad fits, today Scott Walker will address attendees of Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government Program on Education Policy and Governance in Cambridge, MA.  

The conference is entitled Learning from Improving School Systems at Home and Abroad: International and U.S. State Trends in Student Performance.
WOW!  I thought the people of Harvard went to school to actually learn something. I hope they are not charging to get in to this conference.   Was William Bennett busy?  Have the conference organizers NOT been paying attention to what has happened in Wisconsin the last year? 

There has not been a single thing that Governor Walker has done for public education that has "reformed it"! 

I hope the education students of Harvard either protest it OR attend and ask Scott Walker some questions after!
