Yes, the public vegetators have had just about enough of Bill & Melinda Gates, and so they staged a rush-hour demonstration in Seattle to show just how much they care about the chillin. It has to be important to them, as they did it in the summer, when school's out. So they marched to the B&MG Foundation orifices in downtown Seattle, where they had themselves a speaker-fest:
Featured speakers include Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant; University of Washington, Bothell education professor Wayne Au; and Anthony Cody, a former California teacher and blogger for the newsweekly Education Week.
Sawant's an avowed socialist from India, so you know where this whole thing's headed.
Participating educators say the Gates Foundation, through its initiatives and the groups it funds, has blamed teachers and their unions for shortcomings in student performance while discounting the role of poverty.
Umm, right; it's all about the poverty. People in America have no clue about poverty, and the "participating vegetators" are right at the top of the list when it comes to cluelessness. Poverty is what you have when a chicken egg is seen as valuable. It isn't what you have when you pay for your Kraft dinners with an EBT card because food stamps are demeaning.
