What the hell have you done to make the situation better for the kids going to school in moldy trailers? Or the kids who are abused or neglected at home? Or the gifted kids who are bored because of the lack of advance programming? Absolutely nothing. You're just a part of the culture of blame, the anti-Bridge program, get-off-Warren-Street-unless-you're-going-to-spend-money, Social Darwinist agenda masquerading as some sort of cultured liberalism. Maybe instead of producing snark you could make an honest proposal.

Is it too much to expect that she would be culturally literate enough not to confuse two classic works of children's literature or, failing that, be conscientious enough to make sure that she got the source of a quote, so overused it's become trite, correct in a column that she is putting out there for all--parents and taxpayers in the district--to see?Carole Osterinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16010623982526286408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-71551883566636480412013-09-17T21:03:38.793-04:002013-09-17T21:03:38.793-04:00And you felt a need to point this out on your blog...And you felt a need to point this out on your blog because?Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12239856988002201864noreply@blogger.com
