Reg Weaver Goes Bananas


This one is definitely going to be Quote of the Week in Monday's communiqué, but I just had to put it here before someone else scooped me on it.

During a keynote speech in Tulsa, Oklahoma, yesterday, National Education Association President Reg Weaver took a swipe at the American Board for Certification of Teacher Excellence. That's not news, but this might be:

"There's a group out there that thinks all you need to be a teacher is a bachelor's degree, a background check and to pass a computerized test, but you know they're not going to send them to teach where the wealthy folks are. They're going to send them to teach where Ray-Ray, Little Willie, Little Man, Too-Sweet, and Chiquita are in the classroom."

I'm confused, Reg.

Ray Ray is at Clemson University.

Little Willie is in the Bovington Tank Museum.

Little Man is a genius.

Too Sweet is in the Penitentiary.

And Chiquita is in Cincinnati.

So what were you getting at?

This just again proves this is just about Union protection of Education Monopoly.
