Edwards: You May Choose Where You Live ( For Now ), But Big Brother Must Choose Where Your Children Go To School
John Edwards doesn’t want you to think you’ve gotten away with having some control over your own children’s destiny by buying houses in neighborhoods with schools you’d like them to attend.
According to Rich John, America’s leading garden-variety sociopath with political ambitions, the Federal Government has a duty to shape your children’s development through experiments in social engineering.

he is a visionary! a world full of prissy metrosexuals in submission
July 17th, 2007 at 4:48 amGreat solution girlie man. Great, let’s not address the issue of the quality of education and once again turn it into a race based issue to garner votes. Sounds like he is Nifonging it!!
July 17th, 2007 at 4:51 amI though we were past this manipulation of race in the public school system and had finally gotten on the road to address the the quality of education at each and every school regardless of what community it was in. So again another pinhead proposal from MR “no personal accountability”.
Somebody tell this ameoba to crawl back into whatever scum pond he slithered out of already.
The Breck Girl needs to comb-over his whole FACE!
July 17th, 2007 at 4:58 amTO THE BRECK GIRL,
al-Qaeda and it’s Baathist siblings, the Saddam Fedayeen etc. are attacking us and all our interests in Iraq and around the World.
These Muslim Jihadists groups are religious fanatics and it would be Foolish and National Suicide to run away from them anywhere.
In Iraq our sworn enemies who attacked us on 9/11 AND BEFORE, are in a meat grinder of our choosing that not only kills them in record numbers but produces some of the great Intel on our deadly adversaries.
Al Qaeda and all Muslim Terrorists would love nothing better than for America to retreat and ditch the mission in Iraq.
It would give the most vicious types of terrorists, a perfect recruiting tool!
If we Retreat it will be our Defeat!
We have tremendous men and women serving in Iraq, For God’s Sake Please support them and their mission.
a special thanks to all those Americans who are serving around the world!

July 17th, 2007 at 5:06 amThe solution to all this is: BUS THE TEACHERS!!! Get rid of the teachers’ unions and make them work on a merit system. Tenure is a joke. The good teachers are not rewarded and the bad teachers are not punished. I thought we had a meritocracy here in the US? John Edwards is probably the dumbest lawyer I have ever seen. And I’ve seen and worked with plenty of lawyers. This guy is a pandering fool. When he and Hildebeast were conspiring to knock out the lesser candidates, she was probably thinking that Edwards was “not serious” either. She’d be right.
July 17th, 2007 at 5:08 amThe world is divided into ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’. As a parent, I choose my locale based off how good the neighborhood is. Since I have 2 kids in school. The number 1 factor in deciding where to live was based off the schools in the area. I’ll gladly drive an extra 20 miles to work each day if it means my kids are getting a good education. Both of my kids have been in private schools since age. Little Johnny’s idea of shuffling people around is pure anti-evolution of society. I don’t see the poor kids coming up to the level of intelligence of the rich kids. What I see is the entire system being dumbed-down. We should ask the teachers working in the suburban and rural schools what they think about moving 50% of the inner city kids into their classrooms. They would have to changet the curriculum to include Crack Dealing 101, Acceptance of Teen Pregnancy 2320, and Introduction to Defacing Public Property with Krylon. I’m not being racist, I’m stating facts that can be observed. Drive through the Houston 5th Ward or 2 Notch Road in Columbia SC.
Education starts at home. If the parents instill pride and dedication in their kids, as well as SUPPORT the teachers when they discipline your kid for breaking the rules, you end up with a learning environment conducive to developing strong citizens.
This is all a moot point anyway. If the pretty boy gets into office and has a capital building full of Surrendaters supporting him, our youth will be going to OBL School of Islamic Conversion.
P.S. The most I’ve paid for a haircut is $8 including tip. I shave my head now.
July 17th, 2007 at 5:38 amI hate this loser/con artist almost as much as I hate the Clintons!
Everytime he walks by a mirror, he says into it “Don’t get up. It’s only me!”
July 17th, 2007 at 5:44 amAND … THIS is exactly why the government needs to get the hell out of the business of running schools.
My middle daughter is deaf in her right ear … Has been all her life. Through private grade school she would leave the classroom to attend speech in the satellite trailer in the church/school’s side lot. (My husband and I insisted on putting our two oldest girls through parochial grammer school, at the very least. However, due to low enrollment the grades became cut off after 4th grade in order to keep the small school financially afloat … Just a note here: While at least 50% of the students attending the school were of the Catholic faith the rest were “city” kids whose parents didn’t trust the safety or the education in the city’s public school system … or were “city” kids who had been kicked out of every city grade school and all the other private schools in the city and the burbs.)
Anyhow, we live in a very decent burb, and our property taxes fund the school system. So, when it was time for the girls to continue past the 4th grade, we just couldn’t see paying 2x what we had been paying to send them off to one of the bigger Catholic schools, when we were already paying a heck of a lot in property taxes to fund our local school system. So, off they went to the public middle school (where they both entered the sports teams of the school.)
Back to my middle daughter … So when I had to enroll her in our local public middle school I was sent to the special education department with her I.E.P. report from the private school’s speech department (which was one person). Our public school special education department faught tooth and nail for me to keep my daughter in speech (which meant she would be pulled out of academic classes a couple times a week in order to go to). I argued back that she would be deep in orthodontics hardware (a palate expander especially) and that her speech would NOT benefit from anything they would put her through. They resisted saying her studies would diminish and her grades would suffer because of her hearing loss and poor speech (which she had minor trouble articulating 2-3 sounds … and nobody could even suspect she had the hearing loss.)
I leaned across the desk and looked into the director’s face and said: #1 my daughter’s studies and grades will lower if she is taken out of her subject classes to spend several hours a day in speech … #2 she is entering a completely different and larger school environment and needs to blend in, not stick out when she stands from her desk to trot off to speech … #3 you have my daughter’s grades in front of you. She’s at the head of her class with perfect grades in the Catholic school. I would doubt speech had much to do with that. … #4 I believe Beethoven was deaf, and he did just fine.
So, I stood my ground and kept my daughter from the speech class. As I suspected, she took hold of the top of her class immediately and remained there through high school graduation … and not in easy classes. She was/is a high honors student … even now in college with a double major in biology and chemistry (which she won an outstanding achievement award for in her freshman year), and a minor in math (which she started her freshman year taking Calculus 2 and 3, and the head of the math department personally sent her a letter begging her to consider math as a major). My daughter is already taking practice tests for the MCATS for medical school.
Anyhow, I’m sorry I’ve gotten long and off topic …
So, I didn’t quite understand all the debate with the special ed department. Shortly after that I was still bugged by it … until some one who was more savvy with the whole public school system informed me that I had just cost the school system thousands of state and federal government dollars because they couldn’t “count” my daughter as a special needs student … Oh, well!
So, John Edwards believes the way to deal with the public school system in this country is to water down the better school areas, and introduce major behavioral problem students who don’t give a damn about learning (no matter how much is spent on them … See: Cleveland public schools where they spend roughly 12,000 per student and still can’t pass the proficiency tests) into reletively peaceful schools, while shipping well behaved and smart students into hell holes … and out of school systems where their own parents already pay thousands and thousands in property taxes to fund their own school system.
John Edwards and his socialist ilk just keep making the case for the rest of us who actually resist this bullshit government and teacher union run school system in this country.
I have an idea, John … How about inviting some of your “lesser” neighbors (you know the other half of the Two Americas) to come live with you and Liz in that massive complex.
July 17th, 2007 at 5:58 amCorrections:
Please forgive any spelling errors, as I am “wiser than”, but not as “smart” as my daughters.
Also, Kate would have had speech for several hours a week … not per day in the public school system.
July 17th, 2007 at 6:05 amGee, John Edwards, thanks for dredging up thoughts of what a failure forced busing is! You’re SWELL!!
I’m originally from Louisiana, and I can speak first hand as to what a disaster forced busing is. All one need do is observe the horrific failure that resulted after the Judge John V. Parker rulings. Every kid in East Baton Rouge Parish whose parents can rub two nickels together now goes to private school, and all the poor kids are left to attend the shitty public schools. It’s a total travesty.
If the administrators of school districts weren’t sucking up all the funding with their huge salaries, and those dollars could be used to pay the salaries of GOOD teachers, things would change dramatically for ALL students. Check your local school systems’ pay charts to see the disparity between what a teacher makes and what administrators make. It’s a joke. Thank God for homeschooling.
July 17th, 2007 at 6:07 amHe really is a moron, but I asure all of you there are a lot more that think like him who are smart enough not to say it out loud and in public. The upside to this idiot is that there is no way he could ever get elected and he is forcing the other two candidates to tac left.
Regarding school, I said it on here before, homeschooling is the answer to the liberal mind control. And lest you think the development of the children is stunted, my kids have been on more field trips than the sum total of my entire primary and secondary education. Its not necessarily for everyone but I am really becoming a more vocal advocate because of the brainwashing mind control that so many teachers and administrators in public school practice today.
One last thing in the name of full disclosure, I am a faculty member of a local university so you can guess I am a big proponent of a good education.
July 17th, 2007 at 6:07 amHey Breck Girl, you’ll have to come into my home to get my kids in another school, and you won’t get far. I’ll quit the big-city double income mindless rat race today and homeschool my kids if needs be.
Screw you.
July 17th, 2007 at 6:53 amHow come, I’ll use Catholic schools as an example because that’s what I grew up in, can do more with less? In Nov ‘04 when the Eagle shit on me I was all of sudden consumed with that white guilt thing. All this money and I’m not paying taxes. I know what I’ll do. I set it up with the bank and the Catholic school I went to and have $100 a month sent to that school. It pays half a tuition given that it’s $2400 a year. How come a Catholic school can get better results with one-fifth what a major city, like Philadelphia, gets with all they spend? I’m just asking. A year after I got back from Buffalo I stopped buying cigaretts from one of the reservations up there. So I went from $1.50 a pack to $5.00 and I pay a voluntary school tax. It’s the least I can do.
July 17th, 2007 at 6:58 amBut come on guys, the war on terror is just a bumper sticker logo. According to this asshole at least. Guess those IED’s in Iraq are a figment of our imagination, and the beheadings, and car bombings, and 9/11, and the USS Cole, and Khobar towers, attacks at Kenya and Tanzania, 1993 World Trade Center, sadly enough i could keep naming them off all day long. This guy is a schmuck!

John Cunningham -
I went to Catholic grade school through 7th grade (in the 1960s through the beginning of the 1970s). The town where I lived … the public high school began with 8th grade. My parents transfered me there. My 8th grade classes were things I had done in 6th and 7th grade in the Catholic grade school! I had struggled in 7th grade with the pre-algebra … But ACED the advanced math/pre-algebra class in the 8th grade in high school.
As talk grew about closing our church’s grade school because of low finances (my daughters’ school) I had a chat with some of their teachers there. They told me they were in a bit of a pickle because public schools didn’t want to sign them on because they would have to be paid so much (because of their degrees and such), and the public school systems just, as they put it, “couldn’t afford teachers coming from private schools” …
What’s THAT tell you about the people teaching in the public schools?
If the government insists on having their nose in schooling this nation’s kids they had better go “voucher”. Just as with any other business there MUST be competition in schools.
July 17th, 2007 at 8:01 amI think public schooling of our children is okay as long as you (as a parent) are able to stay in constant dialogue with yhour kids in what they are being taught. I think it is important for them to develop critical thinking skills and to learn to counterpoint what they are being taught. On several occasions now my wife and I have gone head to head with various teachers on subject matter and how they run their classes.
Case in point: this past school year my son was a freshman in high school. His school is about 70/30% white to black. He had a little shift in his schedule due to a band class that moved him into a different history class. The strange thing about this class was that it was 90% black. As the course progressed my son was getting pissed because only him and one other student were actually completing their assignments while in his words “all the others were being lazy”. What really got his goat was that because a large percentage of the students did not complete thier assignment the teacher would throw out the grade. So my son fealt like he was being penalized for actually doing his work. Another case in a different class was a project in which the students paired up with another student of thier choice to do a class presentation/project. However my son ended up with the last person left and not someone of his choice due to an absence for a medical appointment. Long story short, the other student did not contribute at all and because of thier lack of work my son’s grade was penalized when he had completed all of his requirements. I went round and round with the teacher equating it to sociolistic grading methods to which she finally backed off from. What was her point. Was my son to learn that is he bust his ass and his co-workers don’t he is to be penalized? WTF?
July 17th, 2007 at 8:20 amMy point is you have to stay engaged. My son is learning how to deal and counteract with liberalism at an early age and it pisses him off!…lol
drillanwr - I agree with you 100%. I have learned to see through these school administators and their smoke screens! Again - liberal politics in the educational arena has stupified the up and coming generations of this nation.
July 17th, 2007 at 8:25 amSo what does this mean to us?
That means we have to fight back and retake our schools.
It’s completely obvious what they’re doing and we’ve seen the outcome for years, decades.
Schools for the last 30 - 40 years have one job:
Turn out future Demo-Commucrat voters.
Think about it.
-Splitting Americans into sub-groups, called ‘minorities’. Aren’t we all supposed to be American?
-Distorting the nature of this country, from the best in history of this planet, to the worst.
-Crushing the culture and religion of the people who founded this Great Nation. We are bad, men are bad, the military is bad, Republicans are bad, Christianity is bad, guns are bad.
That is their goal.
THEIR JOB IS TO CREATE FUTURE DEMO-COMMUCRAT VOTERS!
July 17th, 2007 at 11:05 amVast left-wing conspiracy.
Sad thing is, it’s no theory. It is reality.
July 17th, 2007 at 11:12 amIndeed it is reality.
Now, we’ve fought against Shamnesty and the Surrender bills.
Going back a bit, remember yesterday’s post from Pat, about how the President’s GOP standing is at 80% because he wouldn’t crack under pressure to pull out?
This can and should be utilized.
We’ve protested via writing, email, calling etc., the Demo-Commucrats for the previous Bills.
Now it’s time we do the same…
With the Republicans this time.
They need to look at the numbers Bush has at the moment and learn from it. They need to know that he has very high numbers because on the War issue he is doing exactly what we want.
Now on Immigration and the War all the candidates need to know that they have TO DO WHAT WE WANT. PERIOD.
They have to make a stand and never give up, never give in.
Then there numbers will start to dip, then rise like the President’s.
So, call you Republican Servers (because YOU ARE THERE MASTER) and tell them in no uncertain terms what you what them to do.
How about schools in America?
Tell them NO MORE GOVERNMENT CONTROL.
-DON’T TEACH GLOBAL BORING.
-THAT AMERICA IS BAD.
-BACK TO BASICS.
-ENGLISH IMMERSION FOR THE IMMIGRANTS, NOT SPANISH SPEAKING TEACHERS.
YOU ARE THE MASTER’S OF YOUR GOVERNMENT, THEY ARE YOUR SERVANTS.
LET’EM KNOW WHAT YOU WANT, AND LET’EM HAVE IT!

EXACTLY! When the politicians and such complain the schools need more money (and that’s the reason why kids aren’t learning … as I said, See: the Cleveland, Oh. public school system and their spending 12,000+ per student per year, and they aren’t passing the proficiency tests) what they really need is to:
1) get back to BASIC education and dump the whole diversity/social indoctrination crap
2) bring back truant officers (this time hold parents responsible after three strikes for the kid) … get the lawyers OUT of the schools
3) hold parents responsible for their kids’ follow-up learning at home (homework, studying for tests … going over graded homework and test scores)
4) get the parents of this generation to completely understand their kids are at school … not day care
5) TEST THE TEACHERS (every, say, five years)
[What really got his goat was that because a large percentage of the students did not complete thier assignment the teacher would throw out the grade. So my son fealt like he was being penalized for actually doing his work. ]
No, no, no …. No, No!, NO!!, NO!!!, NO!!!! My bitch-fit would still be shaking the walls of that building.
[Another case in a different class was a project in which the students paired up with another student of thier choice to do a class presentation/project.

Ah! Yes! Been there, done that. My Katie (middle daughter from above) has still run into that in college! (her summer courses) Kate would have to put up with this in high school too. Sometimes I think the teachers put together do-nothing-never-gonna-do-nothing kids with the over-achievers (erroneously thinking the better kid will influence or rub off on the lesser kid … nope). My daughter ALWAYS ended up doing the entire project because the other kid knew she would … and because my daughter refused to have some lazy bastard bring down her grade and GPA. What’re ya gonna do??!!??
Also, our high school insisted the kids had to have at least 1 liberal arts credit. My daughter took a ceramics course. Something was drastically wrong with the paint stock and her one project was ruined. The teacher gave her a C+ (a grade completely foreign to Kate) … Kate spent a week before and after class sternly arguing with this teacher that , “I’ll be damned if this stinking ceramics class is going to bring down my High Honors GPA, and lower my class standing!!” Kate didn’t want a different grade … No, she wanted to be able to do the stupid project again with the non-faulty paint. (the rest of the class’s projects were ruined too, but they didn’t care and settled on the C+ …) The teacher finally gave in and Kate redid the project after school, getting the A.
Yes, we have to teach them to stand up for themselves. Kate also had an Honors history teacher that was a total feminist, Clinton worshiper. The woman took great pleasure (knowing Kate was a Bush supporter) standing beside Kate’s desk and running down every little thing about Bush everyday in class, much to the class’s approval. When I’d heard enough I was about to go to the school and put the idiot in her place, my daughter told me that SHE would handle it. Kate took an autographed picture of Pres. Bush the RNC had sent to me and slipped it into the clear window of her binder. She also began taking Savage, Hannity, and Coulter books to class and would lay this stuff right out in clear view on top of her desk for the teacher to see. And then Kate began selectively countering things the teacher would say. I think the teacher finally realized she was preaching to the choir … with a bolt of lightning at the ready to strike … because Kate said the teacher “returned to the book more” during class. Also, every project the students were given you could tell the teacher was going for the liberal/socialistic view. Not my kid. Balls to the wall opposite. She informed the teacher on the last day of school that, “she didn’t appreciate that she had spent class time trying to indoctrinate teenagers into the democrat party, would have liked to have heard more of American History prior to ‘ the Vietnam War was Nixon’s war and Bush was recreating it in Iraq’ and ‘Reagan sucked, Clinton was god’ , and she might consider giving her vocalized opinions a rest in future classes by showing the Band Of Brothers mini-series to, you know, actually touch on WWII … Kate also informed the teacher that she (my daughter) had kept perfect track of all her grades, and had collected EVERY project, homework, and test paper throughout the school year, and if she (the teacher) had any problem giving her the earned A+ for a final grade (because Kate had just given the teacher an unfavorable evaluation) “My mother would not mind at all bringing all those things up to REMIND her of the proper grade I have earned while sitting in this democrat convention the whole school year.” Kate got the earned A+ for the class.
(Not to leave my oldest daughter out … She too was a High Honors student who is now an RN at the local hospital).
As I stated in my above post, my daughters attended Catholic school for grade school. Every time I met with their teachers in public middle and high school (NEVER met with Kate’s above Honors American History teacher … Kate would NOT allow me to) their teachers praised them for their work ethic and discipline. To which I always responded that it was the product of parochial grade school, and nosey parents.
BTW, “Jihad works both ways” … I like that!
July 17th, 2007 at 1:31 pmIntegration was necessary back in the 50’s when it was obvious that blacks schools were underfunded etc. however,the solution to underfunding is economic activity in inner cities,disbanding of gangs and thugs, yet it is democrats who perpetuate this vicious cycle in the city by creating a hopeless welfare mindset, discouraging investment in the cities at every turn. I look at buffalo new york as a prime example. The down town area has been a sahm for years. WE built a baseball and hockey arena downtown and built a useless one track subway system which effectively took parking away from many small businessses on main streeet and put them out of business. Great foresight.WE have elected nothing but democrats for years, their is too much government (a buffalo common council on top of County executives etc, government micromanagement). What remains is high taxation on businesses and greater incentive to invest in the suburbs, which means more money for suburban public schools and less for inner city schools. (my uncle has had a factory in a the suburbs for years, would love to invest in buffalo, but government regulation and taxation are a hinderance)
If governments want to send inner city kids to suburban schools, thats one thing, but sending suburban kids to inner city schools, with rampant crime etc is criminal.
didnt MLK say “they cant make you love me , but they can pass a law to keep you from lynching me” perhaps the dhimma crats are trying to force people to love each other as the cure all to economic deprivation. this certainly takes the focus off of failed government policy which is at the forefront of declining investment in the inner cities.
dear breck girl,
Isnt it the democrats who say that republicans make wars but dont send their kids to them? well breck girl, why dont you start this discussion right and send your kids to a violent inner city school? Oh right, I forgot you like to talk about poverty like gore talks of global warming, but expect everyone but yourself to make the sacrifices necessary to implement your horrific ideas.
July 17th, 2007 at 2:24 pmI wonder if he busses his kids to school? I swear the Democraps need to change their symbol from a Donkey (jackass) to a Hippo for all of the hipocracy they spew.

Looks like we are fighting the same battles. My wife and I are definetly going through the same experience as is my son. I was a Navy Independent Duty Corpsman stationed at Camp David for the first three years of the Bush Administration (and unfortunatley the last 8 months of the Clinton Admin). My family has enjoyed the unique experience of being around the First famly in those early years and my son at an early age is very aware of what is occurring in our times. He too has fought similar battles with teachers spewing their Demonrat views and ate the age of 13 on up was counterpointing them on the issues. He would even bring in his picture with our family and Mr. President and the First Lady personally autographed to him to school during these battles. Let me tell you this was somewhat an event during our 1 year in Cali while I was doing my year of clinics for PA school at Naval Hopsital Balboa.
I just thank God that my wife and I are very much engaged in our children and in their education. I do not trust any teacher other than myself and will hold constant watch on what they are teaching. We regularly question our children about what is going on in their classes staying on the constant watch for these bleeding liberals. Both of my kids are honor students and are strong leaders in every thing they do. I feel fortunate that my now 15 yr old son gets it! AS for my 11 yr old daughter, she is suspicious by nature and questions everything and has brought her own complaints home.
Thus the battle continues. I once had a quirky feeling long ago that the wife and I were overprotective. Well if that is what it is then thank God! But I feel now more than ever that is just a heightened awareness of the corruption of our youth in America these days.
Thanks for the stimulating discussion and the affirmation of wha tshould be considered good parenting.

Same here, thanks. And thanks for your (and your wife and children’s) service to our country.
You and the Mrs. keep up the good fight at home. As I would expect, your kids will be off to college in a few short (they go by REAL fast) years. You’re building a very strong foundation for them for when they have to deal with the commie/liberal/nutcase professors in college … especially when those profs. see how the teachers before them FAILED to indoctrinate or cultivate their minds for them (college profs.) to work with.
My Katie is on her third summer class starting this past Monday. She likes to call them the required bullshit classes that she would rather not deal with during the regular college school year … Psychology I & II and now a music class (Kate is a pianist). She calls me on her way home from the University’s satellite campus she’s attending this summer while home, to tell me about the professor teaching the music class.
Apparently the man believes we should NOT be spending money in the Iraq War, but using that money to fund the arts. (Only 5 students in the classroom) Kate rolled her eyes and let out a rather loud sigh and stated from her seat, ‘Yeah, because defending our national security and sovereignty isn’t NEARLY as important as funding some idiot who thinks elephant shit thrown on a picture of The Virgin Mary or a Crucifix in a jar of piss is high art and social commetary…. But hey, I’m all for funding any artist who wants to create similar depictions of Mohammad!’
She went on to “give her opinion” to the professor that the government was formed to be “in the business” of protecting and defending our country … NOT in paying artists who could find backing with business, industry, and rich private sectors who are as equally demented as they are.
She then demanded of the professor if [this] is how the class will be for the next few weeks … If so tell her NOW so she can drop it, demand her money back, and return the $100 book unopened.
No complaints since …
Background: Ya gotta picture my Kate … See: Ann Coulter, but obviously younger, and softer looking around the face and eyes. Tall, willowy blonde, blue-eyed, model-like … I think Kate gets a thrill out of MOAB-ing the typical “gorgeous but dumb blonde” stereotype.
