It's not nice to lie to children.

If the little girl muppet in the video is in public school...someone lied to her really badly.



If that little girl is a public school student, the best she can hope for is teen mother of three in low income housing in a small town where it's safe for her kids.  If she's in a public school, she won't learn to count money, count change back, won't learn to read and write well enough to do more than fill out request forms for welfare and food stamps, and then, only because she has help. 

If she's in a public school, she'll learn all about how sex works, but won't learn that it's a better idea not to have it until she's ready (physically, emotionally, and financially) to deal with the consequences.  She won't be taught how to stand up and insist on condom use, so unless she is on the pill, she will end up pregnant, at best, and with an incurable, possibly deadly, STD at worst.

If she's in a public school, it will be because her (likely single) mother either is too stupid to pay attention to anything other than the latest acquisition, or because her mother doesn't love her enough to make the sacrifices necessary to put her in a private school.

  1. I generally watch 2 & 1/2 hours of court room TV (ie, Judge Judy)--it sharpens my "legal mind''.

    A good majority of the litigants are black (many of the rest are 'trailer trash'.

    Racist or not, they are the most intellectually dumbass people I have every seen! (With apologies to Powell & Rice).

    They have no concept of the real world---No wonder Obama got 90% of the stupid black vote!

    Since my ire is is up, read this totally unrelated blog post & get your ire up!
