    Hey look it’s the guy who sent the us army in to crush dissent and put down a black uprising against militarized white occupying cops in my city.

      It sucks when it’s more personal, like when obama-medal’s favorite basketball playing buddy (relevant because that’s how he was chosen for the job, according to a cute obama-socialism anecdote) Arne Duncan personally came by to fuck over my school district even harder than no-oil ever did.

        Obama and Gates decimated the already underfunded and crumbling public US school system with their charter bullshit. When nobody can read or do math in 20 years, they are the most direct culprits

          I know it, and as a former educator, my decision to retire early is due in part to the damage that they started and the increasing helplessness that I and my fellow teachers around me had, forcibly tied to bullshit test-prep mandates that were intended to be failed because failure means even more testing and punitive privatization.

          Gates and his fellow “education reformer” buddy epstein (yes, he was involved in that!) wanted to screw kids in more ways than one.
