Back in April, we presented our education manifesto. Well, we’ve now revised and extended it, working with Mr. H.O. Hell and thanks to the assistance of a plate of Shaag Bajee.
Partly, this is a response to the mistakes of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. He believes that the problem with the schools is primarily managerial. “Just give me control of the schools,” he seems to think, “and I’ll get some real managers in there. They’ll put the fear of God in those teachers and then we’ll see some real learning start to happen.”
Here, then, is our plan:
Teachers:
Principals and administrators
General:
“Kearny NJ School Superintendent Ron Bolandi demonstrated defiant sanity when he pulled Kearny High School’s overmatched football team just six hours before its game with St. Peter’s Prep, one of New Jersey’s top-ranked programs.
“Bolandi saw what was coming. Kearny lost its previous two games by a combined score of 90-8. In its last game, St. Peter’s rolled over Memorial High, 77-7. Bolandi, whose short-handed team was also nursing several injuries, did the math and made the practical decision.
“Better safe than stampeded.”

“Our goal,” Harris County Texas Sheriff’s Lt. Robert Henry says, “is to protect both sides of the badge. We are trained and skilled to protect ourselves and trained and skilled to protect the ‘consumer.’ We don’t rush into action. We understand what they are going through.”
Henry and his three deputies, accompanied by workers from Mental Health Mental Retardation of Harris County, arrive at crisis scenes in minimally marked squad cars after being dispatched by department operators or summoned by the first responding officers.

Before Univision’s Romney forum at the University of Miami, Mitt demanded that he be allowed to pack the audience with off-campus supporters. Univision capitulated. Then Mitt demanded that the moderator keep silent about the fact that Mitt had made himself available for only 35 minutes. Again, Univision wimped out.
In contrast, Obama played by the rules. If it were up to me, I’d say “No more Mr. Nice guy.”
“The world’s richest woman, Australian mining tycoon Gina Rinehart, drew international scorn recently after saying that people who are jealous of the wealthy should drink less and work harder.”

The Houston Chronicle headline reads “Judge rules cheerleaders’ Christian banners are OK for now”
The Kountze High School (East Texas) cheerleaders made Jesus banners for the school’s football players to run through at the beginning of games.
I can’t say that religious banners get me all bent out of shape. Except for the specifics of this case:
If it were up to me, I’d invite spectators to bring and display whatever banners they like in the stands.

“The rich got richer and the poor got poorer in New York City last year as the poverty rate reached its highest point in more than a decade, and the income gap in Manhattan, already wider than almost anywhere else in the country, rivaled disparities in sub-Saharan Africa.
“While the national recession officially ended in 2009 and Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg has repeatedly proclaimed the city’s robust recovery, the census figures to be released on Thursday painted a decidedly sober view of how New Yorkers are faring.”

At 57 seconds in, Romney’s mom says that George Romney “was on relief, welfare relief, for the first years of his life . . .”

Let’s say that what Romney says is true — what’s he gonna do? Throw them all off the welfare rolls and let them starve?
And while we’re bashing Romney . . . he’s now doing a 180 on immigration. Presumably he went anti-immigration to help clinch the Republican nomination. But now he’s moderating his rhetoric to try to woo Hispanic general election voters.
