Deputy President Valerie Jarrett v. The People

There is no greater special interest in America today than the American public teachers unions.  There is no more damaging special interest in America today than the American public teacher unions, particularly if you are a youngster forced to attend one of their many underperforming schools – mostly located in urban areas but not exclusively located in such areas.  These several unions (two biggest are NEA and AFT) own America’s largest political party – the Democrat party.

One of the great Democrats who support the NEA and the AFT is none other than America’s deputy president at the white house – Valerie Jarrett.

The NEA and the AFT parrot a propaganda mythology that their interest in their labor organization is to better provide performance education results for their students.  The facts, the results, the performance comparisons to private American schools and other developed countries K – 12 education metrics belie the mythology of the NEA and the AFT.  In other words, the NEA and the AFT do not accomplish the very mission that they claim to be the reason for their existence.

In any competitive environment the consequence of this performance would long ago have been realized – extinction – bankruptcy – elimination – pick a consequence – it would have occurred.

Very recently America’s deputy president at the white house, Valerie Jarrett, announced that America must continue to support public schools across the land.  Sounds good doesn’t it?  How could one argue with such a noble position – support public schools?   Our unelected deputy president was simply using acceptable language to comfortably announce that America under her leadership would continue to support the NEA and the AFT.  No, she didn’t word it that way – she is not stupid.  Just deceitful and manipulative.

Many communities in America support their public schools and seem to be quite tickled with the union representation of the teachers who run these schools.  So be it.  If you like your public school you can keep your public school.  But, unlike the affordable health care act (you may know it as Obamacare), if you don’t like your public school there is no government website or alternative plan for your youngsters education.  There is no choice.  You are stuck with a crappy school (in the case of health care insurance plans Obama and his deputy president Valerie Jarrett refer to these plans as “substandard.”)  They do not refer to crappy schools with any such direct language – they say – give them more money – more resources (this is Democrat speak for “more money = more votes on Election Day from the teacher union members.)

Think about that – Ms. Jarrett and Mr. Obama think you should have a choice when it comes to health care and they will even pay for those choices if you are poor.  When it comes to schooling – they think you should not have a choice.  Can anyone explain in rational or logical terms why they push for choice on health care – on abortion – on marijuana – on citizenship for illegal immigrants but not for the parents who vote for them who want their kids to get a good education?  We wonder if Hillary would go along with this “no choice for parents about education” idea?
