Academic powerhouse, though?

    1. Is she talking about Alabama University, or the state of Alabama? Either one is a stretch, but the Alabama’s public school ranking is consistently bottom 5.

    2. Instead of shaming the people wronged by the government and given a subpar education, we should attack the people who wronged them.

      The administration is pushing people to be dumb. People are easier to control if ignorant.

    4. “California should model its ~~educational~~ football standards after ~~academic~~ gridiron powerhouses like Alabama.”

      FTFY, Liz.

      This can’t be real, can it? **No one** in America would use the term “academic powerhouse” to describe Alabama, including most Alabamans.

    6. As an Alabama teacher we are making gains. We are modeling ourselves off the practices of Mississippi. Id rather we not just insult states.

    7. I live in Alabama. What are you talking about? We need help with making our public schools better.

      This bitch is fed flash cards with answers to questions during every hearing I’ve seen her in. The incompetence is astounding.

      Odd statement seeing Alabama K-12 ranks between 37 to 50th place in academic achievement and the university’s are in the 100’s in achievement. No real evidence of overwhelming educational superiority or leadership bottom rung of the pack.

      Trump “loves the uneducated” and his Secretary of Education is trying to give Cheato Bandito more objects of his affection.

    11. Dumb in California is the same thing as a genius in Alabama.

      Stuff like that always reminds me of my older brother; when he was a Junior in high school, I am a decade younger, we moved from this tiny rural crap school to a much larger town and a much better school. He was top of his class in the small rural school, but was way behind once we got to the new school.

      I was young enough that it didn’t really impact me much, and I had far more time to grow.
