The new head of the national teacher’s union describes a dream for education that sounds more like a socialist nightmare.
Randi Weingarten, incoming president of the American Federation of Teachers, wants schools to become community centers for medical care and social services as well as classes. She called for a “federal law” promoting “schools that are open all day and offer after-school and evening recreational activities, child care and preschool, tutoring and homework assistance”, plus “medical dental and counseling clinics.”
In other words, she sees schools as big city versions of all-encompassing collective farms, with students their prize crop. Maybe such schools should also offer barracks for the kids, eliminating any need at all for parents or home. Ms. Weingarten forgot to mention that her vision involved a huge expansion of government and a crushing burden for taxpayers.
I don't know about you Pilgrims, but Ole Pecoz couldn't dream up any scarier scenario than turning our nations children over to the prying arms of the government, the American Federation of Teachers or NEA! There have already been horror stories in Massachusetts and other blue states of children being questioned in school about firearms their parents might have and other personal, family habits and topics.
Realizing of course, that NOW and other feminazi organizations would like very much to get the 'sperm donor' out of the child raising picture as soon as he has performed his function, this makes a heck of a lot of sense. Big Brother is on the march ---- and in the guise of national teachers unions and government policy wonks - - - be vewy vewy afraid!
