Idiot Teachers

A long time ago I wrote a post called Idiots Who Would Be Teachers, in which I took prospective teachers to task if they failed any part of the entirely-too-simple California Basic Educational Skills Test.  I regret calling those who failed the CBEST "idiots".  They were unprepared, and while I stand by my belief that college graduates who can't pass the CBEST shouldn't be teachers, calling them idiots was inappropriate.

This teacher is an idiot:
Parents in a Wyoming school district are outraged that an answer on a multiple choice test included this option: "Shooting at Trump."

Can you imagine the reactions if it was "Shooting at Obama?"

The most recent generation of college grads have been invested with the idea they can say or do anything they want. This explains idiot teachers of all sorts-from the political ideologues to the pedophiles. Our colleges push the idea of "you can do anything" which many grads take on faith. They have no filters, no limits. As a result we have classrooms where kids are indoctrinated rather than being taught.

Wow, that teacher is tone-deaf.
That teacher must have gone to the same school as all those people who created that recent notorious Dove commercial (in which Dove soap turned a black woman's skin white).

Mike, you're a racist even to think of it!
