With the new "parents' rights" concepts being touted in several states, one has to ask: [View all]

[Atticus]

why require any specific degree or training or certification for teachers?

If all parents are competent to decide WHAT to teach, HOW to teach it and what facts are NEVER TO BE MENTIONED in a classroom, which child gets promoted and which is held back, then ANYONE should be able to be hired as a teacher.

Obviously, this will eliminate all racism and guarantee that all children will be heterosexuals who profess the "right" religion and mature into "good guys with guns". What could go wrong?

This solves so many problems it is a mystery why no one thought of it before the Florida Man made it his policy and other governors saw the attention it got him.

Who knows? Maybe 2 plus 2 really does equal 5.
