The Guardian article (in the link to explain his school hypocrisy) is pretty interesting - it explains a lot about why Matt Damon is the person he is. Growing up in a commune with a far Left mother who has never read anything unless it's in The Nation. Pretty strong indoctrination from an early age.

His latest movie (according to Damon) is an indoctrination film - it promotes ObamaCare, is about the Evil Rich and throws Comprehensive Immigration a bone also.

Decca Aitkenhead meets Hollywood's Mr Nice to talk politics, parenting and his latest film Elysium

Campaigns for Public School teachers (more pay, less accountability), but wouldn't think of sending his kids to a public school.
Spends more than he makes. The Left can be so predictable.


Quote:
Damon co-founded the safe-water charity water.org, and hopes his children will join him on field trips to Africa when they're older, but he also worries about ending up a Hollywood rentagob activist. "Yeah, there's the people who, you know, feel like, 'Shut up and sing,' " he grins. "People feeling preached to by privileged actors. I get that totally. I don't want some Hollywood actor finger-wagging at me, telling me what I should and shouldn't do."
So says the privileged "finger wagger" - he is well on his way as a "renta-activist."

Now get the reason he used, it's a wowser, LOL

"..... that the public schools aren't "progressive" enough....."

CA public schools aren't Progressive enough? Where's he sending his snowflakes, Trotsky People's School Number 12?

Matt Damon Refuses to Enroll Kids in Los Angeles Public Schools
Socialism is for the people, not the socialists.

How many lefty pro public school politicians actually send their kids to public schools?

He's an idiot AND a bad actor, given that his major role is playing a true believer leftist.

At least that's better than rich Libertarians saying that kids should drop out of university and go to vocational school instead or do nothing, while they send their own kids to Ivy League schools hypocrisy goes both ways, though which one is worse, I wonder . Given the rather lower reading comprehension among certain sectors of the C-D population here, who is worse? The one who says we should support public education and support students going to university while sending his own kids to university or the one that advocates that students shouldn't go to university while sending his own kids in?

That's garbage. You can admit he's a good actor. You're just saying that because he's a Democrat I know your modus operandi

His major acting role is playing a true believer leftist and pretending he's not a rich elitist.

He failed.

Typical action of most White left wingers. I take it this "progressive" school will be lacking in racial and economic diversity as well.

After all, there is NO ONE more hypocritical than the pants crapping serial pedophile draft dodger Nugent.
Or is your outrage reserved for just those celebrities who speak to liberal issues?

feel free to start your own thread.

why do liberal nut-jobs think a "I know you are but what am I " defense is credible ?
you look as petty as obama crying on TV and threatening to take his toys and go home.

Is it like prominent rich white Libertarians who say we the masses shouldn't bother spending money sending our kids to university, while they themselves shell out tens of thousands to send their own kids to the top private unis?
