Every Child Left Behind:

This may not be directly about animation but it is about education. In the Saddleback School District alone 175 K-12 teachers have just lost their jobs as state funding to schools is gutted and teachers and education dry up and die across the State of California.

Politicians legislating education is always a cruel joke. They really don`t want educated students. They are just after the sound bite and the quick reelection vote. They never make it better for the kids or the teachers and the first teaching jobs to go are always in the arts.

I wonder just how many art, animation and music education programs have been killed in this latest in a long line of assaults on our education system. There was a time that a truly educated person had to know how to speak several foreign languages, draw competently and play a musical instrument. But that was when we only educated the ruling class.

When George II came up with his sweeping education reform early in his rain educators shook our heads knowing that it was just another attack on education. An attack this time from a guy whose school grades were mysteriously all whited out and raised somehow. Even his grade school grades where whited out and changed and they were first recorded before the invention of White Out.

Let them teach cake. And oh yes students must register for the draft or no education assistance and if the student fails it is the teacher`s fault so cut their bonus. And federal aid for education, hell, we make the laws do we have to do everything. Let the states figure out how to pay for it. Or not!

Okay, it may not fair to link Arnold and George, even if they both talk about their great support of education and then turn around and do everything in their power to gut the system.

All politician are anti-education in the long run. Actions always speak. Arnold talks the same education support crap as the other politicians but politicians truly can not afford to have a educated electorate. There is no way educated people would vote these idiots into office. And kill all the art programs first, those guys are always thinking too much anyway.
