Just what do the wingnuts want for this country?

One thing they DON'T want is a democracy or anything resembling it. They despise it; what they really want is some kind of aristocracy where the masses serve the handful of rich.

Of course it will never work; there will be bloodshed before any of that happens.

Speaking of wingnuts, there will be a shindig for them in D.C. A bunch of potential GOP candidates will be attending the conference, including who I think will be the eventual nominee and president, Mitt Romney.

Broadie Heath Morrison lies his ass off about teacher "tenure" and knows good and well his district is already making it next to impossible for new teachers to obtain continuing contracts by abusing the one-year-only designations for jobs that are supposed to be open because an incumbent has taken leave or is a grant-funded position. Instead, jobs that really ARE standard contract openings are being made OYO to screw over teachers and ultimately deny them a pension:



He is also a liar when he says teachers become "tenured" at one year. They don't--the process is two years unless a teacher is already experienced or unless a principal says it is okay.

Meanwhile the principals and other administrators are as incompetent, vindictive, or as corrupt as ever, and Morrison will do nothing about them.
