Just maybe they are product of our government run schools.

Mock the spelling, fine. It doesn't diminish the legitimacy of their outrage.

Angry and Ignorant.

What a combination.

I wonder if they were the product of red-state schools?

I'm sure they are -- this thread provides good examples why the government run schools are so bad (imagine if the government does health care as poorly)- we should have vouchers and more homeschooling.

Awesome. That'll thrill the government to no end, since the best way to oppress people is to keep them stupid.

Never attack the message when you can attack the messenger. That is surely the method used most often by lefties.

The message is that the Tea Parties are heavily larded with people who don't possess dictionaries and/or are incapable/not interested in reading or understanding them.

The signs that they are carrying are living proof of this. The truth of the matter, if you would.

How can you refute the truth?

Yes, well, parents have a role to play in education too. The schools do what they can but if parents refuse to instill good manners and good teaching at home then , well, I guess this is what you end up with. Sorry, but it's a sad legacy. And not the fault of gov run schools.

But it sure makes their outrage humorous.

I understand that pressure needs to be laid on schools for better education standards, but parents also play a HUGE role in the education matrix. I've worked in education most of my life and, I kid you not, there are parents like one scenario I heard in which the 8th graders mom was arguing against the school's dress code because her (white) son was in the crips and wearing the color and uniform was integral to his gang lifestyle. It was the mother supporting this. The kid could barely read but his right to represent his gang was more important to his mother than his academic success.
