Snyder, Patrick

A wider perspective on teacher layoffs

Patrick Snyder, The Orange County Register I've had it with teacher whining. As many of us have been told by politicians and liberals when non-supporters of liberal causes point out the inequities of all of their expensive and nonproductive causes: "Quit your whining." Teachers and the teachers union play a big part in the reelection of the liberal Democrats and the positioning of the same type of people who run our state school system. "Reading, writing, arithmetic, science (not environmental hogwash), language and physical education is all we need. No more classroom agendas. The lottery was supposed to eliminate the state's education-funding problem. You voted for it. You got it. Quit whining.
