    Some are, some aren't. IN NYC, there are a plethora of pre-school programs run by the BOE, and the AFT has a section on their website dedicated to pre-school. They have been actively pursuing union enrollment in the pre-school ranks for the past few years:

    Ah, thanks. Here in Florida, pre-schools are private run institutions with individual owners. Any preschool teacher behaving like that would be instantly terminated or that business would fold.

  3. I notice that no democrat politician has been asked to disavow these riots or anything else. For that matter no one in the media has challenged the media's implicit and in some cases explicit encouragement of this violence.

    We know the media would have immediately demanded that Trump and other republicans disavow any white person who committed an act of political violence. We also know that there would be a long line of republican cucks eager to do so, eg McCain, Paul Ryan, Nikki Haley, Lindsey Graham etal.


    What we are witnessing here is our country descending into tribalism. Policies, fairness and morality take aback seat to supporting our tribe. The more irresponsibly the left acts, the more determined the right becomes to back our president. The more we are demonized by leftist crazies like those Berkeley and NYU rioters, the less likely we are to listen to any sort of reasoned argument.

    Tribalism breeds corruption, both financial and political. If you doubt that, look at places where tribalism is the dominant philosophy, eg Africa, latin America. Solidarity with your tribe becomes the paramount factor in all decision-making. It is not an unreasonable approach, because if the other tribe gains power, they are sure to take retribution on you. Just look how Obama punished wealthier white people. Their leaders were too intimidated to fight back, so new leaders were found who had more backbone.

    That is why i support a tax on the media. Among other things.


    It's not like it's not already being done by the democrats.

    The city of Seattle has it's own extra tax on guns, and a judge upheld it. Apparently this does not encroach on 2nd ammend rights.

    I'm for starting at a 10% tax on all print and broadcast media. Just like we currently have for guns.

  5. I predict the same courts that ok'd a Second Amendment tax would suddenly find a First Amendment tax to be a threat to our democracy.

    MAGA economic plan:

    1. Tax media.

    2. Tax Hollywood.

    3. Remove fed guarantees for student loans.

    4. Cut university research grants drastically. Retain them only for legit medical or science research. We have enough papers on queer theory and AGW.

    We placated, tolerated and coddled extremist Left-wing ideology far too long.

    This is the result.

    What I see are a bunch of adult children having a tantrum, who think it's okay to put their hands on people.

    Where are the cops?

  8. One of Trump's first initiatives should be to make it very attractive for students to get online degrees. Maybe through requiring students getting government loans to go this route. Many reputable universities now offer such programs. I don't know what the cost is but it should be minimal compared to the hosing students receive now.

    Trump has had a lot of experience running his own university, so he is the perfect person to push this.

    Considering the problems with for-profit colleges, the government should strictly limit federal education loans and grants for any online programs to non-profit reputable universities.

    Let me state once again... getting a "degree" from a for-profit college such as Phoenix, etc. is a waste of money. Every corporate HR department immediately throws resumes from these schools in the garbage can... they are worthless.
