Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) on Wednesday said that he would like to get rid of teachers’ lounges to reduce how much teachers worry about losing their jobs.
Kasich said at an education summit in New Hampshire that many teachers believe that “we’re out to take their job” when schools evaluate teacher performance and that teachers’ lounges provide an environment where this worry spreads.
“No we’re not out to take their job. If you need help, we’ll help you. If you’re a terrible teacher, then you should be doing something else because you’re going to find more satisfaction doing something else that you’re good at,” he said. “We have to constantly communicate that.”
He then suggested that teachers’ unions contribute to educators’ worries.
“I’ll tell you what the unions do, unfortunately too much of the time. There’s a constant negative comment, ‘They’re going to take your benefits, they’re going to take your pay,'” Kasich said. “So if I were, not president, but if I were king in America, I would abolish all teachers’ lounges, where they sit together and worry about, ‘Woe is us.'”

No doubt he pictures it in his mind much like a knitting circle where the wimminz gather and do their gossiping while he menfolk are out hunting and building barns.
In a country that began by fighting a revolution to get out of a monarchy, people discussing what they would do when king should immediately be disqualified from running for President.
This is probably one of those guys that called Obama a communist because he wanted to ensure healthcare for all. The convergence of irony and hypocrisy.
Whatta nut job! Freedom of assembly, speech?
How’s about we take away all the perks politicians get like free travel, free lodging, free foods, paid for health club memeberships, Cadillac insurance and the like. Talk about bitchin’ and moanin’!
Whatta dork!
Please, proceed Mr. Jackass.
