You're right, Anne! It isn't about Palin! Why can't we mourn the loss of these innocent lives, and pray for the injured to heal quickly, and fully, instead of making it political? Oh, that's right...we can't let a crisis go to waste...I forgot...

The only thing I see is jealousy. Sarah Palin is one of the most honest individuals I've seen in some time. She has my vote despite what the "norm" thinks. She's a breath of fresh air & I'm glad she's out there...speaking, responding. No one else can defend her like she can defend herself. Too bad we expect everyone to be perfect!

I hate to say it, being I taught "in the system" for 6 years, but Allison is correct in her statement of "outnumbered, surrounded and weakened". I quit 31 years ago, because I was already "outnumbered, surrounded and weakened". The only folks who "progress" in the "system" are the "yes" people. As for your PTAs...good luck in turning those around! Unless the NEA is taken out of "mandatory" membership in order to teach, the radical agenda will continue to be taught. Being a mathematician, 2 + 2 = 4...I couldn't adhere to the "new math that 2 + 2 = 4.33333333333333333". And you wonder how this country elected who they did!
