4. Yes yes and yes

Yes to war on teachers. Not only are they often unionized humans that people actually see everyday but (I've heard this on talk radio) also the teachers unions originally were comprised of or aligned with THE BLACKS - even RADICAL BLACKS. seriously that is out there.

Why? The anti- Common Core types tend to be the 'burbs (the autism-vaccine crowd) to believe-anything RW'ers. Think about how the RW keeps their believers cut off from the world and information. It's basically an abusive relationship - Don't talk to them neighbors! They'll fill yer head with craaazy ideas! - you do what *I* tell you.
