Not everything you disagree with is liberal. Also if you just assume everyone with an education is liberal that says a lot about you. As far as the actual issue goes, both parties fail the education system. Schools are more concerned with test scores, because governments give them funding based on the scores. Lowe scores means less funding which means fewer teachers which translates to even lower scores.

Yes, I disagree with Nazi hypocrites as well as extreme left way left like communism. But what is the movement that's been happening in Canada the US were every kid gets a trophy and where you can't fail a student because it's going to cause traumatic damage to the kid and
too much drama? What kind of BS system is this? I got 3rd place in a soapbox Derby trophy when I was in Cub Scouts and I got most improved and cross country and High School Ann and community college. Why should everybody have a trophy? I don't know if its the way people are broth now so I'm asking you and if you don't know please have somebody answer here on Raleigh point what is this kind of movement called? It has to have been caused by some kind of social worker movement or thesis? My mother was a social worker and she worked for the United Way. I have respect for them but my mother when she did social work believed and giving trophies only to the best people and not to everybody like some people are pushing today.

LTC (Join to see) - I really don't know where participation trophies come from. But it's not 20-30 year olds that bought them for themselves when they were 8 years old. The folks who are now 50-60 are the ones who brought about the everyone wins mentality, and were the coaches of the teams that encouraged it. I'm not really sure anyone knows where it started but it's the older generations fault for introducing it and it's my generations fault for perpetuating it.

MSG Joseph Cristofaro - I know when the millenials were born. But I also know that I wasn't in the position to buy my own trophy at 8 years old, that was my point... our parents... your generation bought them for us and told us that we were special. We're equally complicit though as now that we have reached adulthood a disappointing number of us still act like entitled brats. Also I made no assumptions i was simply responding to the assumptions made by the Major, that the administrators had to have been extreme left leaning. There was no evidence to that claim in the article at all. And since, like you said, it's entirely possible to be educated and be conservative, there's no basis for that assumption.

Thanks for making us aware LTC (Join to see) the appeal board has ruled that Lynden Dorval was treated unfairly for being fired for giving zeros on college tests.

Don't sell yourself short buddy. Your a tremendous guy on every count.
Very interesting video though. But it was NYC after all. Most of those idiots can't find NYC on a map either.
