Yup, our nation has sunk to the point where saying someone believes in the biblical view of marriage is controversial and the person and company are threatened. Even ten or twenty years ago this wouldn't have happened. Hey, look at the gay marriage prop in California, where supporters were ostracized, fired, etc. You stand against these folks and there's a good chance you'll pay.
I'm just careful to note when something can be quantitatively proven and when something is believed to be true based on observation and is therefore opinion. The volumed of assumed cause and effect around here is deafening, with you being a regular offender.
To some of us, there's more than data to life and understanding. But, you know you're being purposely obtuse, as a discussion of something like the impact unions have on the state of our education system of course doesn't lend itself to empirical analysis.
You're not seriously doubting that public unions in general, and especially teachers unions, make it extremely difficult to get rid of poor performers, are you? I worked for the government for many years and saw first hand how poor performers were just shunted aside with lower levels of responsibility, because that was much easier than trying to fight the unions and fire them. Teachers unions also don't like students being given a choice of going to private or charter schools.
careful, siting something from the heritage foundation will get you in trouble, especially something on the foundry...
bronconick, meet New Testament. New Testament, meet bronconick. There, I've introduced you. It's up to you if you make the effort from here on out.
Was inevitable that you'd fall back on Bronze Age writings. Which one(s) are you referring to?
How about MSNBC?careful, siting something from the heritage foundation will get you in trouble, especially something on the foundry...
oh, I'm not that one that will bite your head off, but some will...sorry if that was confusing.
I didn't think you were; I just thought I'd throw out another link to the same story from the progressive side.
I think the linkage is parental "my child's poop don't stink". And maybe the increase in AP/Honors/IB/"Ain't my kid special!" programs. We never had that stuff when I was going through school -- each class was sort of segregated with the smart kids in the back and the ones that needed more attention in the front.
Sounds like an argument in favor of home schooling!
I supported the First Amendment for free by choosing not to eat at Chik-Fil-A.Had a good Chick-fil-A sandwich and waffle fries last night with the wife. Fun time, though it took awhile to get the food. They were actually almost out of food, as even with stocking up they hadn't anticipated the size of the crowds. Glad to spend $8.32 to support the First Amendment any day.
