John White, by the way, is an Eli Broad alumn. This asshole thinks anybody who has a college degree can teach. He has such utter contempt for teachers, he gets away with saying such utter bullshit:
According to Ellzey, White went on to say in his fast talking style that “he is not keen on teacher certification. Anyone who is a college graduate and who is proficient should be allowed to teach, he said.”
Oh, really?
This is not too different from BESE member Chas Roemer’s recent statement quoted in The Advocate. He said an undergraduate degree is not that important for teachers.
How low will Louisiana education go under Gov. Jindal? As low as an eel’s belly in a sewage pond.
White is bad, but what may be worse is the lack of response by colleges and departments of education. The silence has been palpable. I’m disappointed by what I see as almost complete inaction by tenured professors in colleges of education throughout the state. After all, the profession is being killed, choked to death by legislation passed this June in Baton Rouge.
It's a goddamned war, another in the war against America, frankly, and nothing is being done to combat it.
We are going to lose EVERYTHING so a handful of crooks can profit.
