One. Big. Happy. Family.








"You have got to be kidding me. This is worse than having a fox in the hen house..."



If this last election did not tell the tale of the tape, I don't know what would have. First off, the Conservatives did very well (nation wide). However from a local perspective, the Progressives hit a homerun. How so? We now have a cabal in the St. Paul School District. Everyone of the open school board seats are now controlled by union hacks.

How cool is this? Contract negotiations should be a scream! As the old saying goes, "Too much agreement leads to a dull argument." We can do Common Core, no suspension for bad behavior, ignoring guns in the schools, or whatever! And if you are in the St. Paul School District, stay calm. Or, better yet, get the hell out of there.

On a serious note, how did we get to this point? It has been a slippery slope downward. True, the results in the St. Paul School District are a bit better than in Minneapolis. However, still not good. And to get better, we need to set the bar higher. Expect more of Education Minnesota, not just give them a wet kiss. 

I have said for a while now that education today is on the precipice. I believe we are very close to a major breakthrough. All we need is have the unions to get out of the way and stop being so self centered. Kids today don't have to be lethargic. That is not their nature. Many still want to learn. Want to explore. They want to know the truth - not some crap that goes through the PC strainer called Common Core.

So there you go America. As you tilt more towards the right, St. Paul is falling off the left side of the cliff. It is the way public state sponsored education is supposed to be. It is the way it has turned out to be. One. Big. Happy. Family.
