This guy is an embarrassment...from the article:

President Biden on Wednesday said he's asking Education Secretary Miguel Cardona to go after states with bans on mask mandates in schools, up to and including taking "legal action" against them, even as a crisis rages on in Afghanistan. 

The president's remarks on masks in schools Wednesday came as the military struggles to evacuate American citizens and allies from the Kabul airport after the Taliban swept into control of Afghanistan in mere days. State Department communications are telling Americans they "should consider" going to the airport for evacuation but that "the United States government cannot ensure safe passage" through the rest of the Taliban-controlled city. 

"Today, I am directing the Secretary of Education – an educator himself – to take additional steps to protect our children," Biden said in remarks at the White House, after which he did not take questions on Afghanistan. "This includes using all of his oversight authorities and legal actions, if appropriate, against governors who are trying to block and intimidate local school officials and educators."

"As I’ve said before, if you aren’t going to fight COVID-19, at least get out of the way of everyone else who is trying," Biden added. "We're not going to sit by as governors try to block and intimidate educators protecting our children."

Since when does the Education Dept really have any power to dictate to local school districts anything??!!  Jimma carter created this in the late 70's as a payoff to school unions for their support!  This, along with the Energy Dept, also created by Jimma, should have been done away with a long time ago!  Both colossal waste of taxpayer money!

Why the mask talk and not much on the fiasco?  Because the mask part is easy.  The total fiasco in Afghanistan is to hard for the "not ready for prime time" players!  We have seen the results of their incompetency!!

Have yall seen the video going around of the leftist teacher losing it on her kids?  I think it was in Utah she got fired yesterday.  

 

The leftist infestation in our systems of education is sickening.   Can't wait for the part where we're dragging them out by the hair of their heads.

      West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin leaves Democratic Party, registers as independent

      By tvc184 · Posted

      Manchin may get it but any mention of the radical left that wanted to get rid of the filibuster and end almost 220 years of history because the Democrats are mad?  The House and Senate are obviously different legislative bodies with entirely different election processes and rules for a reason. The House can vote on laws with a simple majority vote. The Senate put rules in place that it would make it much tougher to pass laws. Laws should be difficult to pass. The Senate is often the holdup of the right and left. It takes 60 votes to break the filibuster so any law will almost certainly require agreement at least in part, from opposing sides of an issue. Because they can’t get laws passed, the radical left is like a baby having a tantrum and wants to change over 200 years of history and make it potentially ridiculously easy to pass laws. I have seen current poll maps and it is possible for the Republicans to sweep into complete power in November but by the tiniest margin. That would possibly mean that a single vote margin in both houses could enact what you might call the radical right laws. There would be nothing that the Democrats could do to stop any legislation whatsoever if the left (they are all radical, minus Manchin) got their filibuster rule changed.  That is where the current filibuster comes into play as any new law would require several Democrats to agree with the majority Republicans and vice versa.  Do you want the potential for your radical right to have free rein as the radical left wants by killing the filibuster or is the radical left just as (if not more) dangerous? Let’s see if we have a history in this area? Oh yeah, the Democrats changed the rules in the Senate to allow federal judges to not have to overcome the filibuster. Obama was not getting his federal judge nominations passed and being angry, they changed the rules instead of nominating more moderate justices. They were warned that it would come back to bite them. They didn’t care and chose the nuclear option to change the rules. Oops! Any guess how Trump got all of his Supreme Court nominees passed against strong Democrat opposition? The Democrats got rid of the filibuster for federal judges after another tantrum   So when you are so worried about the radical right, are you equally concerned in what the radical left is always doing by changing rules and history which were put into place just for situations like we are in? So while Manchin gets it, what about his other 50 colleagues (49 + Harris)?  What concerns you more, Abbott and Paxton or the Democrats who want to make it to where if the Republicans do take over, they can go wild… at least in your mind?

      MODS please remove that ISD twitter link! I had no idea it would copy the whole posting. I only highlighted the portion about the venue change. Sorry about that!
