He's a worthless POS shut up with the Joe Manchin fan club. Basta! Manchin just won reelection as well so he's in for a few more years probably doesn't care what the fools in WV think they still vote for him anyways.
Muh moderate democrat is only a made up media label. They only vote against D bills when it is safe to do so on bill that is going to fail or pass by a lot. They all fall in line when push comes to shove unlike our bags of shit in the GOP who think having a little communism is okay as long as it shows bi partisan voting.
That's Manchin's game. He will talk a good game for attention and to flex for his own power within the Party, and then fold when it actually matters. I assume he plays this squeeky wheel role just enough until the Party powers grease his palms.
The average teacher is a socialist sympathizing self indulged educated idiot. We have been letting this awful class of people fuck up our childrens lives way too long by not breaking the backs of the teachers unions and putting kids first before these losers.
I know public school teachers personally. They are lefties, and complete retard NPCs. They all have the same opinions and all seem to think everyone agrees with them.
Public schools teachers in my opinion are for the most part just commie trash that perpetuates leftism.
Agreed, I honestly could write an entire essay that goes way over the .win character limit about how awful teachers are as a group of people. They almost all have this hero complex where they think because they are this great Socrates like figure teaching the youth to think and that they deserve worship for it. They get paid way over the median and average pay in the US while working less then have the gall to constantly ask for more money and more time off because their life is just too hard. They constantly push leftist political propaganda as history, overstate the validity of science on certain subjects, savagely abuse any kid who is a non conformist, step on the slower learners while simultaneously holding the fastest back. The one thing above all others i despise is how they talk about critical thinking and questioning everything but the second its turned back on them they demand complete compliance. Those hypocritical faggots want to be obeyed and believed with zero deviation but preach that they are for free thought it's embarrassing. I am going to stop now because I could go on in much greater detail but it just makes my blood boil.
There is no group I genuinely hate more than what passes for educators in our country. Please for the love of god and your children homeschool or private school them if at all possible, if you can't do that be as involved as possible in their day to day school lives. If you are just sending them to school and hoping for good outcomes you are completely enabling these awful people to ruin your kids lives.
The whole "a hero live here" yard signs for teachers drove me crazy last year. It's definitely a cult. Can't say anything bad about system. My sister-in-law is a teacher and she takes things so emotionally it's crazy.
One recent example: She cannot get over the governor of her state (SC) saying months ago that "many teachers just don't want to go back to in person instruction" -- she took that as a PERSONAL INSULT ranting "how dare he say that about me! I love my students!"
Now in truth, she is one of the few dedicated teachers who really does try to reach every one of her students, etc. BUT even though I told her "if he wasn't talking about you when he said 'many' then don't be insulted" she cannot separate it. Oh no, it was a personal attack on her SMDH
Still bothers me to see that about first responders and stuff...
Bro, doctors nurses and EMTs chise their job, they're doing it, and it's really not any worse than a bad flu season.
The real heroes, if the virus was actually bad, were the low level employees at what was left open the whole time. They got paid shit to be exposed to the "deadliest virus ever"?
I think that's a fair statement, the people who DGAF are also scum however and they work with the lefties to keep themselves protected so they can never be fired. Go look at a place like the dogshit schools in Baltimore. I highly doubt that any of those bags of trash are really politically involved they are just self serving but they work with the unions which are definitely far left wing and support them because of the mutual protection they receive.
No need for an essay, I'll make it simple for ya: those teachers are priests of leftist religion, classrooms are their synagogues, commie core is their scripture, faculty is their clergy, students are their congregation, and whoever disagrees with them is a heretic. Once you see them through a religious lens, everything gets clear.
I just wanted to comment on how much I agree with you. They always bitch about “having to pay from my own pocket for supplies” or how they have to grade papers at home!!!!
My fucking god, what a hard life. Number 1, you don’t need to spend your own money. That shit is on you. Number 2, they act like no one in the history of the planet has worked off hours, or has worked overtime, or gotten in early to work but them.
And yes they are sanctimonious about their job, like they have some special place in society. The reality is many people don’t like them or their attitude or the power they have on families that they can throw off everyone’s lives by striking, and on top of that they are shit educators. Our country’s public schools are not top in the world, they constantly churn out retards. Then they have the nerve to act like they are special.
the biggest problem is teachers who think it’s their job to raise someone’s kids, let alone give them their personal opinions on the world and call it “education”
I know a couple teachers personally who oppose the teacher's union but fear them. We need to get schools that aren't subject to the union mainstream. Pay the good ones well and fire the bad ones.
My mom is a based public school teacher and can't stand the Frankfurt school Marxism bull shit spewed from the pits of hell.
Problem is you can't speak out or the others will attack and slander. Very much of a gang mentality. Teacher unions are completely worthless money pits that serve nothing but to advance the communistic agenda to destroy the West.
I know several teacher personally, and in my perception its mostly the social studys and English teachers that are heavy left (remember hearing storys how the head of the SS department threw a fit when a kid wore a mega hat to class after 2016 election). While math and science teachers are more conservative or just moderate. Even in my heavy dem leaning county.
But it was really nice having her basically do my science fair projects for me in elementary school. I still went on to get a degree in nuclear engineering so it’s not like the science fair actually helped foster anything!
State Sen. Patricia Rucker, the Republican chair of the Senate Education Committee and chief architect of the ESA effort, has a few theories about what made the difference. First, she believes the majority of West Virginians never opposed school choice in the first place; they were SIMPLY AFRAID TO SAY SO.
Because certain schools, mostly in cities, push bullshit propaganda and don’t actually do a good job of teaching. However, strong teachers unions (which is a pretty clever thing to hide behind) strong arm communities to keep increasing public funding.
So you have a situation where public funds are being spent to harm communities via locking children in with their schools; a Democrat/CCP gold mine of evil. They use media to push keeping students in failing schools.
As we all know, competition breeds excellence and if schools have to compete on educational standards, then public schools will collapse as the free(r) market will blow them away.
School choice makes total sense for freedom loving patriots that want a better America. It is in direct opposition to establishment globohomo Democrats and their cronies.
It also encourages Juanita to set up her own fraudulent school and collect a big paycheck. I sure hope they don't enforce standards. Paying to keep their spawn away from my kids is money well spent.
Because often times schools are failing because of the people going there, and introducing them to new schools ends up causing problems for the new school. I have personal experience with this. The problem isn't "school choice ", it's demographics. But you can't talk about that because there might be one Mexican kid who would do better even if it brings down 80% of the kids at the new school.
What makes people think they're going to put some low iq kid who is violent and has parents who don't care into a nice school and he's magically going to change. And that's how it ALWAYS ends up. There's this fairy tale thinking that the SMART parents are going to pull their kids and move them, but that's not real. The reason these schools are bad in the first place is BECAUSE of the people.
I was forced into a mixed high-school because of school choice and it became one of the lowest performance schools in the state, with increased violence and metal detectors after one year.
They imported 2 low performance black kids into my kid's private school class on A "disadvantaged " scholarship and they're a constant disruption and already have made the class "slow down" for them.
It's like people who think if we just take south Chicago and put it in Beverly Hills then suddenly all the problems with south Chicago wouldn't manifest. It's magical thinking. Even poor white kids have better SAT scores than black kids in high income households.
Last summer I read Sowel's book on Charter schools, he has a ton of data in there, quite interesting. My take from it was this. Basically discipline work ;) unlike normal school successful charters can and do kick violent kids out. In many cases if you get rid of the worst 10% rest can do very well. That and being able to fire useless teachers not he spot.
I think you are right that with school where kids can not get kicked out and discipline is not enforced it is basically all based on people going there. Once school can actually act as a school things change quite a bit
Because it's bigger than schools. Because implementing school choice would implement competition. It would create a free market (or something approaching that). And if it worked, that would prove to everyone that free markets work better than centrally-planned government-run communist control. It could break the whole scheme.
School Choice being a bad thing makes more sense if you consider the possibility that TPTB are not interested in educating your children. Just as a mental exercise, just for a minute, assume that the government is intentionally mis-educating your children.
We are in a transition period. The communists took over education and started indoctrinating children. This changed the culture as the early children grew into adults, as intended. But it's hard to hide the fact that schools run by commies don't work. Nothing run by commies works. As intended - it protects the people running the show.
One way or another, we will choose whether to let competition do its thing, or let central planners plan everything for us.
It is only bad for teachers union because god forbid they actually have to step up their teaching game and try to give a shit about something more important than their fucking pension, 3 months off, and blm brainwashing platform.
no, the future is not being robbed of money so YOU can use your own money to send your child to whatever school you want. The future should not be that the government takes your money from you, takes a huge cut, and then uses the rest to inflate the prices of worse education.
Good for them, teacher's union are the root of the failing school's in this country. Being union driven, has out weigh it's conclusive need in mordern times. You just don;t get the same end result your daddies use to give, at their union jobs.
It's a slow grind, but WV is getting there. It may have had the highest margins of Trump support of anywhere in the country but it's still a state that exemplified the working-class democrat coalition of 50 years ago and those ancestral democrats still vote democrat. We were still voting democrats into the governors mansion in '16 and both Manchin and Byrd where democrats that are beloved for what they did to help the state, Manchin as Governor and Byrd in the Senate. The tide is breaking, though. Jim Justice left the Democrats and Manchin has broken ranks on key issues over the last four years, even if he did let himself get beaten back into line. I think Manchin either swaps parties in the next four years or this is his last term, but we'll see.
Yep I was just going over the proposed bills by state a couple days ago.
As you would expect, the redder the state, generally they are bringing forward bills that increase exemptions and/or protect people from discrimination based on vaccine status (thus banning vaccine passports).
The bluer the state pretty much the opposite scenario.
It’s so ironic seeing the teachers out there now claiming they care about their students, meanwhile they refuse to go back in the classroom and actually teach
How about simply not stealing people's money and letting them simply shop for education wherever they want, whether it's in class, online, hybrid, home schooling, or whatever that new concept is called … is it pod-learning?
Applicants for the Hope Scholarship will receive 100 percent of their state education dollars — $4,600 annually — in lieu of public schooling. (County and federal funds will remain in the system.) The scholarship is usable for private school tuition, homeschool curriculum, or other education expenses. Gov. Jim Justice, a vocal opponent of ESAs as recently as 2019, has signaled he’s likely to sign.
unions are big supporters of democrats. they use their members dues to support dem candidates (whether the member supports the candidate or not)
in return, the dems do them favors like not requiring merit to for raises or tp even keep their jobs, keeping summers off and throwing in extra "educational funds" for teachers' salaries
teachers don't even have to teach anymore. they just make the kids memorize the answers to standardized tests
I used to know a literal pathological liar that would … no joking … lie about the most banal stuff that were obviously lies when he even knew that others knew the truth and that he was lying. It was rather weird. … he was/is a teacher.
Schools around here sign teachers on an annual contract, individually. No need to fire since its already baked into the cake. You will be fired when the contract is up. No guarantee of being summarily rehired in a year.
Not to be mean, but do west Virginians even have a choice in schools? I lived an a rural area of nc and I really wouldn’t have been able to go to another school without a larger commute, and it wasn’t even as sparse as WV
In other states that have done school choice, the teachers unions petition the state government to pile on millions of regulations that makes school choice miserable-as-shit. This isn't the end of the battle, it has just begun.
Fuck Joe Manchin
Joe is softening up a little. Like opposing gun control
He is getting the message that he changes or he is out
Charleston won't be enough to keep him in office
He virtue signals sometimes, but he never casts a deciding vote. He'll never cost them any commie legislation.
Correct
question is, why hasn't it happened yet? why did he publicly condemn removal of filibuster?
He's a worthless POS shut up with the Joe Manchin fan club. Basta! Manchin just won reelection as well so he's in for a few more years probably doesn't care what the fools in WV think they still vote for him anyways.

That's Manchin's game. He will talk a good game for attention and to flex for his own power within the Party, and then fold when it actually matters. I assume he plays this squeeky wheel role just enough until the Party powers grease his palms.
he and lindsey are soul mates, but lindsey is more eloquent.
that would be a very risky game considering the current climate
I guess we'll see. I place no trust in Manchin actually doing anything tangible that would upset his party.
Watch him appear with a sweet shiner soon.
Fuck that guy. He voted to impeach. Twice. Fuck that guy. He votes party line 99% of the time.
Joe Manchin ranks right up there with Lindsey Graham in the fraud department.
THIS!

Well, you see, women are like that.
Hijacking this thread to say we need more patriots and MEN in fields of education libraries etc
We need more men everywhere. Real Men. Nurses, doctors, teachers, libraries, child care, everywhere
Still bothers me to see that about first responders and stuff...
Bro, doctors nurses and EMTs chise their job, they're doing it, and it's really not any worse than a bad flu season.
The real heroes, if the virus was actually bad, were the low level employees at what was left open the whole time. They got paid shit to be exposed to the "deadliest virus ever"?
IMO, what you are describing is about 40% of the teachers out there -- truly awful people as you describe.
5% are truly dedicated teachers and good people sincerely trying to help their students.
For the rest it is just a job and they DGAF about the kids, teaching or anything beyond their pay check.
I think that's a fair statement, the people who DGAF are also scum however and they work with the lefties to keep themselves protected so they can never be fired. Go look at a place like the dogshit schools in Baltimore. I highly doubt that any of those bags of trash are really politically involved they are just self serving but they work with the unions which are definitely far left wing and support them because of the mutual protection they receive.
Wow, someone that feels the exact way I do about the majority of teachers in America.
And I've found it's not limited to the bluest corners of our biggest cities, it seems to be everywhere.
You can go to BFE Texas and go into a rural classroom and meet some 25 year old girl with the exact same "beliefs" as teachers in San Francisco.
We all bitch about teachers while not becoming teachers. We need reinforcements
Likewise, as I've said here before, we all bitch about rigged juries while ridiculing anyone too stupid to wriggle their way out of jury duty.
I've not seen that sentiment here but it seems to be common in the wild.
Good point
No need for an essay, I'll make it simple for ya: those teachers are priests of leftist religion, classrooms are their synagogues, commie core is their scripture, faculty is their clergy, students are their congregation, and whoever disagrees with them is a heretic.

My mom is a based public school teacher. There’s a few out there, but unfortunately their work never gets recognized...

West By God Virginia- Where the Real America Lives
nice to see my state giving a big fuck you to the feds
Same Brother!
Damnit I love my state so much
Greeting fellow mountaineer! Montani Semper Liberi!
the state seal says all you need to know about us
Can you adopt Virginia into the real America too? I hate Governor Blackface so much...
We LEFT Virginia
Besides, until you get control of Loudoun and Fairfax counties, it would be fruitless
This is great! School choice is the future of freedom.
no, the future is not being robbed of money so YOU can use your own money to send your child to whatever school you want. The future should not be that the government takes your money from you, takes a huge cut, and then uses the rest to inflate the prices of worse education.
Joe Manchin is the Dead Democrat Walking
Joe Manchin is the most powerful man in the country right now and he doesn't have the balls to do anything with it.
West Virginia schools have been absolutely fucked by unions and federal laws. Good on them.
Now. Get rid of Manchin.
Just read the article. It’s great what they are doing. More states must take measures to find students not the specific learning institutions.
This type of action will go a long way to balance unions power over parents.
You fuckers strike, parents can take their kids to a private school.
John Stossel has suggested great solutions to the abysmal public school system. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gIsW_xHOXmQ
Stossel is a libertarian.
Good for them, teacher's union are the root of the failing school's in this country. Being union driven, has out weigh it's conclusive need in mordern times. You just don;t get the same end result your daddies use to give, at their union jobs.
They are also banning CRT.
Agreed, those TVs were a monstrosity. Gotta go with OLED.
Manchin's days as a senator are numbered
Sadly still one of only a few states that have no philosophical or religious vaccine exemptions for kids in school or day care.
School choice is great but mandatory injections makes it a non starter.
It's a slow grind, but WV is getting there. It may have had the highest margins of Trump support of anywhere in the country but it's still a state that exemplified the working-class democrat coalition of 50 years ago and those ancestral democrats still vote democrat. We were still voting democrats into the governors mansion in '16 and both Manchin and Byrd where democrats that are beloved for what they did to help the state, Manchin as Governor and Byrd in the Senate. The tide is breaking, though. Jim Justice left the Democrats and Manchin has broken ranks on key issues over the last four years, even if he did let himself get beaten back into line. I think Manchin either swaps parties in the next four years or this is his last term, but we'll see.
There is a big push to remove ALL vaccine exemptions - in all states.
In CA now only a medical exemption is allowed.
Not only has the government made it really difficult to get a medical exemption (nearly impossible), they even tried to get rid of that exemption.
Other states are following CA by removing exemptions.
Yep I was just going over the proposed bills by state a couple days ago.
As you would expect, the redder the state, generally they are bringing forward bills that increase exemptions and/or protect people from discrimination based on vaccine status (thus banning vaccine passports).
The bluer the state pretty much the opposite scenario.
mandatory vaccinations are for public schools
parents can choose a private school, even one associated with their religion
WV will get there the political climate is changing
where I live, there are mask mandates but only big companies really enforce them
Greatly appreciate your reply but from my research (I want to move to Elkins from the New England) it's still mandatory in private schools.
Looks like they tried recently but failed. Close vote.
I still want to move to Elkins but I have kids that are coming up on school age and it's a pretty major issue.
https://www.herald-dispatch.com/news/bill-to-exempt-w-va-private-schools-from-vaccine-requirements-fails-to-pass-committee/article_abcd5d9b-0351-5aa0-beab-92a3fa10dda3.html
From what I've learned, I'll probably move to Tennessee instead even though all things equal I'd prefer WV
fair enough
i imagine it differs from state to state
It’s so ironic seeing the teachers out there now claiming they care about their students, meanwhile they refuse to go back in the classroom and actually teach
I think this is a very important story.
Think about the drastic shift and the causes of it. Then extrapolate that across the country.
If we survive that long, 2022 and 2024 are going to be landslides (if the GOP doesn't F it up).
There will be 100 million more illegal aliens in the country by then.
Finally
Best Virginia is starting to live up to its name.
Let's have School Choice in all 50 states.
If public schools are so great, what are the teachers and unions afraid of? A little competition?
How about simply not stealing people's money and letting them simply shop for education wherever they want, whether it's in class, online, hybrid, home schooling, or whatever that new concept is called … is it pod-learning?
Even better!!!
The best Virginia!
Patrioticaly recites Country Roads
One thing I never understood, if unions were created to protect workers from greedy capitalists, then why do government workers need unions?
Isn't this a good thing?
Applicants for the Hope Scholarship will receive 100 percent of their state education dollars — $4,600 annually — in lieu of public schooling. (County and federal funds will remain in the system.) The scholarship is usable for private school tuition, homeschool curriculum, or other education expenses. Gov. Jim Justice, a vocal opponent of ESAs as recently as 2019, has signaled he’s likely to sign.
Take your kids out of public schools!
yes, it's absolutely good. that's the point.
Cheers!!
Yet they keep re-electing Cuck Manchin
Manchin is just a continuation of Byrd’s seat

Can someone explain how the teacher's unions got so powerful?
it's easy
unions are big supporters of democrats. they use their members dues to support dem candidates (whether the member supports the candidate or not)
in return, the dems do them favors like not requiring merit to for raises or tp even keep their jobs, keeping summers off and throwing in extra "educational funds" for teachers' salaries
teachers don't even have to teach anymore. they just make the kids memorize the answers to standardized tests
I used to know a literal pathological liar that would … no joking … lie about the most banal stuff that were obviously lies when he even knew that others knew the truth and that he was lying. It was rather weird. … he was/is a teacher.
This is how we win. Break the back of the teachers unions. Open education to competition, and parents will choose the best option.
Schools around here sign teachers on an annual contract, individually. No need to fire since its already baked into the cake. You will be fired when the contract is up. No guarantee of being summarily rehired in a year.
Love this! So tired of the teacher's union

Not to be mean, but do west Virginians even have a choice in schools? I lived an a rural area of nc and I really wouldn’t have been able to go to another school without a larger commute, and it wasn’t even as sparse as WV
In other states that have done school choice, the teachers unions petition the state government to pile on millions of regulations that makes school choice miserable-as-shit. This isn't the end of the battle, it has just begun.
