“The American people know the economy is too weak. Too many of them are suffering. So the question for Washington is, are we going to continue to play political games and - and - or are we going to say, we can do something right now to create jobs, to put money in the pockets of the middle-class, hire construction workers, teachers, veterans?” PeopleKnowsPlayJobsPoliticalSufferingGamesCan DoClassEconomyTeacherMiddleRight NowWeakWorkersMiddle ClassPocketsConstructionVeteranCan Do SomethingConstruction WorkersPolitical Games Author:David Plouffe
“... there are moments in which the teacher, as the authority talks to the learners, says what must be done, establishes limits without which the very freedom of learners is lost in lawlessness, but these moments, in accordance with the political options of the educator, are alternated with others in which the educator speaks with the learner.” DoneMomentsPoliticalLostSpeakTeacherSocietyLimitsAuthorityEducatorLearnersLawlessness Author:Paulo Freire
“The United States cannot reshape other countries in its own image and that, with a few exceptions, its efforts to police the world are neither in its interests nor within the scope of its resources. This whole tendency to see ourselves as the center of political enlightenment and as teachers to a great part of the rest of the world strikes me as unthought-through, vainglorious and undesirable.” WorldCountryStatesWholeAmericaPoliticalInterestUnitedEffortUnited StatesTeacherEnlightenmentResourcesPoliceStrikesTendenciesExceptionOther CountriesScopeUndesirable Author:George F.

“Texas Republican political leaders take perverse pride in how deeply they have cut our state's education budget. Thousands of teachers have been pulled from classrooms, schools have closed and valuable programs have been canceled. In many places, districts are forced to choose between prekindergarten programs and English, algebra and art.” Has BeensArtStatesSchoolPoliticalLeaderTeacherCuttingPrideRepublicanProgramValuableBudgetsTexasClassroomAlgebraPolitical Leaders Author:Wendy Davis
“Religion is a personal, private matter and parents, not public school officials, should decide their children's religious training. We should not have teacher-led prayers in public schools, and school officials should never favor one religion over another, or favor religion over no religion (or vice versa). I also believe that schools should not restrict students' religious liberties. The free exercise of faith is the fundamental right of every American, and that right doesn't stop at the schoolhouse door.” ShouldBelieveChildrenMatterHumorSchoolPoliticalParentReligiousPrayerLibertyTeacherDoorsStudentsExerciseTrainingFundamentalsVicesFavorsOfficialsPublic SchoolVice VersaPolitical HumorReligious Liberty Author:George W.

“People always got the image I was an anti-Christ or antireligion. I'm not. I'm a most religious fellow. I was brought up a Christian and I only now understand some of the things that Christ was saying in those parables. Because people got hooked on the teacher and missed the message. All this bit about electing a President. We pick our own daddy out of a dog pound of daddies.” PeopleChristianPoliticalReligionBitsPresidentChristReligiousTeacherDogMessagesPicksFellowsPoundsDaddyHookedParablesAnti Christ Author:John Lennon
