How Disrespectful: McCain Spokesperson on Education Insults All of America's Future Teachers
Talk about '<a href="http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/09/new_mccain_ad_calls_obama_disr.php">disrespectful</a>'? The official spokesperson on Education for John McCain called the people going to our Schools of Education nothing but a bunch of 'low-achieving students'. Here's the <a href="http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/politics/july-dec08/education_09-10.html">quote</a>:
<blockquote>Sen. McCain wants to recruit from the top of universities in subject areas -- math and science -- not necessarily through colleges of education that, quite frankly, recruit low-achieving students.</blockquote>
The vast majority of our teachers come from Colleges of Education. The vast majority are conscientious and willing to devote their lives to the education of our young. Yet here we have McCain's official spokesperson "quite frankly" writing them all off as "low-achieving". Is this the kind of person you would have as your spokesperson on Education?
