Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Dangerous Behavior

(Fox News) - A middle school art teacher in suburban Chicago says he plans to ask the local state's attorney to file child endangerment charges against his school, because it promotes milk and other animal products as part of a healthy diet.

The Chicago Tribune reports Dave Warwak was removed from his classroom for encouraging students not to eat meat and refusing to stop discussing animal cruelty issues with the children. Now Warwak says he won't return to his job while there are posters in the cafeteria promoting milk.

He says, "I can't really see working there as long as those milk posters are up and they keep feeding poison to the kids."

Of course, this guy's little agenda has everything to do with education. Let's hear the public school groupies insist loudly that their institution is not just an indoctrination opportunity for everyone with an ax to grind.

It is time to shut down the government-run schools and use the money they waste for something that will actually benefit mankind.
