Blogging for Respect
Education is under attack in our country and it is our obligation as teachers to fight back. Wisconsin is the first battle in many months where public support is showing the politicians and financial robber barons who have been brain-washing our society into thinking that their greed is good and necessary, and that we are the true pariah's of society; that this is the big lie. We won't stand for it, and we certainly won't endorse it. It is time for us to educate the public about how the leaders of our government and the captains of finance and industry have turned their backs on the public servants that have held this country together through good and bad times. Their deception will be exposed. The simplicity of their arguments will be taught in classrooms all over the country, and soon they will be on the run. This time they won't be able to fleece the public and point the finger at others. As we see our wages cut, furlough days added to our abbreviated year, benefits slashed and vitriol in the press about our practice, we gnash our teeth and hold on. Well, enough is enough. We are not the millionaires, not the tycoons, not the financiers or Wall Street bankers who have led our country to ruin. We are, and always have been, people who like to help others, who are educated, dedicated, and determined to set this political and societal injustice aright. We are not as docile and meek as the opposition would like us to believe. We are intelligent, and we understand what this campaign is all about...sucking the funding out of the public till and putting it in the pockets of the rich who have run out of purses to fleece. Stay tuned for more action. The day of reckoning is coming.
