SB5 passed the Ohio Senate by a 17 to 16 vote. The Public Sector Unions lost a battle in one of their pet states, and the media has been mum about it. Too bad, because they missed this little gem right here:
How low can a public sector union shill go anyhow? Really!? You’re going to bring out the kiddies to tug on my heart strings now. Speaking of which, what possible argument can this child make which would appeal to me. Listen closely to her speech, she states that she missed the mark on the Ohio Graduation tests, but doesn’t see that as an important measure of the school’s efficacy. For that privilege, her parents get to pay a higher property tax every year which flows exclusively towards the increased salaries of the union which have produced another graduate who can not perform at a basic high school graduate level. This child also claims to understand the gravity of the situation. What effect do rising property taxes have in her world? The answer of course is none whatsoever. She has never met a payroll, payed property taxes, balanced a budget, or experienced any consequences for her stupidity. Those consequences won’t come for a few more years. Yet, her Teacher felt that she would be the ideal spokesperson for the Union side of the debate.
Point number two: This teacher has no business being around kids who are not her own. Her job is to instruct children in the class room, not to exploit them for use in her political campaign against fiscal sanity. What recourse do the parents within that school district have? How can this obviously destructive force within the lives of the children be removed from her ability to destroy? Beyond the usual collective bargaining discussions, we need to rethink the entire tenure thing as well. This woman does not deserve to keep her job, she deserves to be arrested for child abuse.
The last statement made by the little skull full of mush was this, “we will not submit to this bullying. We will ensure democracy will be upheld.” Someone should tell this little twit two things. First, there was an election in November of 2010 where Governor John Kasich was elected. In fact during that election, every state wide office changed hands and went with people who campaigned on reigning in the public sector unions. Both Houses of the State Legislature tilted to being controlled by the Republicans for the first time in decades. This is called democracy, and SB5 being passed is what Ohio Voters wanted overwhelmingly, as expressed in November of 2010. Next, some one should tell that little twit that thuggish demonstrations held by a violent minority with the aid of bussed in professional protesters claiming victim status is not democracy. Perhaps if her teachers were at all competent at their jobs, she would already have known that.
