Back to work I go…teaching 3, 4, and 5 year old children….how to share, to walk together in a line, to listen as others speak, to share their supplies, to pay attention to the fire alarm….I should teach congress.
As I listened to NPR on my way back from The Lake yesterday, I was dismayed as a journalist talked of renaming Labor Day to “Capital Day”. How awful for America that we have reached this point where we’ve bought into the anti-labor rhetoric! We no longer have much appreciation for the hardworking folks. That we consider them to be less than what they are, namely the backbone of our country.
We need to readjust our focus, stop buying into the lies and self-loathing, and bring pressure to bear on the corporatists who have had their way so long, they now brazenly threaten the very fabric of what made us a great country: our middle class.

Yay teachers, collective bargaining, and returning sanity to politics.
