I really do not understand it. Everytime you turn on Fox News or right wing Republican talk radio they are always bashing teachers. And they attack teachers legislatively now as well by taking away civil service, union rights and, in Arizona, even the right to express any political views. I really cannot figure out why the Republicans hate teachers so much. Maybe somebody can shed some light?
I do not mind teachers at all. I just do not like the idea of public unions, the nea and the institution of public unions by the democrats.
Conservatives won't mention this because it would suggest the problem ain't the schools. Liberals won't address this because it points out a problem with their cherished multiculturalism.
You have to understand that Fox News is controlled by the same GOP that sees educated workers are more difficult to control. The GOP at this point represents the rich that want to create low-paying service jobs that do not require education. It's a move they've been making on the education system for decades.
They keep telling us that liberal, educated thinking is bad because of a variety of reasons, mostly to keep uninformed people distrustful and more willing to just do as the GOP instructs them. Fox News and their paid for politicians are happy to carry out their message to duped Americans that believe their "news" and flag waving.
Look at the 1%. Look at what they and their holding companies control. Teachers that are trying to wake up the minds of young people are not welcome in THEIR Big Picture.
I look forward to the day when the duped Americans wake up and think: "Hey, wait a minute -- THAT doesn't make sense!"
We need to read our history from a variety of sources -- and watch not just what people are saying, but what is being done. As a people we need to realize that in our capitalist society, those that have the money will use it to keep it. There are very real dichotomies occurring in our politics right now, and naivety is dangerous.

Change your title:
The taxpayers War on Teachers
The parents War on Teachers
The "No child left behind" war on Teachers
The War on the Federal Department of Education
and I think you'll understand the issue a little bit better
It's not just a Republican thing - it only appears that
way because you're watching Fox News
Try this instead; i.e., reading a newspaper/online article.
no, the root of our healthcare problem and our education problem, is that goverment is involved.
Spot on. The root of most of our problems is that government got involved for one reason or another.
