Comment O’ The Day
\nTaibbi has a point. Politicians can falsely claim to be a climate, crime, or economics expert and the average voter isn\u2019t going to offer stiff resistance to that claim. But if a politician claims high school graduation shouldn\u2019t depend upon proficiency in reading, writing, and arithmetic you are going to get their attention. It\u2019s something everyone capable of reading is going to have a fair amount of expertise in. And the ruination of our education system has reached the point where it\u2019s impossible to ignore.<\/em>
\nThe remarkable thing is that when called out on this the politicians don\u2019t admit they were wrong. They double down.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Democrats\u2019 Education Lunacies Will Bring Back Trump<\/a>
\nTerry McAuliffe lost the Virginia governor’s race by saying, \u201cI don\u2019t think parents should be telling schools what to teach.”<\/strong> If that was no gaffe, Democrats have a lot more significant losing ahead.<\/em><\/p>\n

(it was no gaffe. It was a ‘freudian slip’ where you inadvertently tell a truth about yourself you wanted kept concealed)<\/p>\n

On\u00a0Meet the Press Daily\u00a0<\/em>last week, Chuck Todd featured a\u00a0small item about the 23 Democrats not planning on running for re-reelection<\/a>\u00a0to congress next year. Todd guessed such a high number expressed a lack of confidence in next year\u2019s midterms, and his guest, University of Virginia Center for Politics Director Larry Sabato, agreed. \u201cThis is just another indicator that Democrats will probably have a bad year in 2022,\u201d said Sabato, adding, \u201cThey only have a majority of five. It\u2019s pretty tough to see how they hold on.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the full\u00a0Meet the Press\u00a0<\/em>Sunday, Todd in an ostensibly unrelated\u00a0segment<\/a>\u00a0interviewed\u00a01619 Project\u00a0<\/em>author and\u00a0New York Times\u00a0<\/em>writer Nikole Hannah-Jones about Republican efforts in some states to ban teaching of her work. He detoured to ask about the Virginia governor\u2019s race, which seemingly was decided on the question, \u201cHow influential should parents be about curriculum?\u201d Given that Democrats lost Virginia after candidate Terry McAuliffe said, \u201cI don\u2019t think parents should be telling schools what to teach,\u201d Todd asked her, \u201cHow do we do this?\u201d<\/p>\n
