  1. Our President keeps pushing and prodding and bribeing our women to have more children. Not one word out of her mouth to support teachers, who spend more time with the children then the parents. What kind of mother is this?

The previous class of teachers rejected all leftist, socialist ideas because they realized it was bad for the children and bad for the country. As long as teachers are more concerned about “I” they are not only failing the children but the country.
