RESTORE THE DRAFT? |
Can you imagine the riots in the streets if the United States had reinstated the draft for George W. Bush's trumped-up war with Iraq?
Hmmm...
...maybe Dana Milbank is onto something here!
From the Washington Post
Save America: Restore the draft
CAT Tracks Editor's Note:
My real reason for posting this flight of fancy...
...is Dana's (admittedly borrowed) idea for...
Talk about "Teach for America"...
...untrained, uncertified two-year wonders saving public education from tenured "lifers" and their evil unions.
Eighteen years old, fresh out of high school...TEACH.
Hell, even TFA expects its recruits to have a college degree!
Adding insult to injury:
Equating teaching with providing day care...
...the old "glorified babysitters" characterization of teachers.
Dana:
I'm gonna cut you some slack...
...and assume that you smoked more than turkeys over Thanksgiving.
"...a civilian national service option — teaching, providing day care and the like — for those who don’t want to join the military."
