WASHINGTON—As the nation falls deeper into the grip of a pandemic that has forced compromises upon his most cherished principles, a self-loathing Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) acknowledged Friday he could not believe he had been reduced to defending the necessity of public schools in a civil society. “I hear these words coming out of my mouth, these requests for more federal dollars so public schools can reopen, and I wonder, ‘My God, what have I become?’” said Alexander, who wondered aloud whether he might still be able to console himself by diverting money from lunch programs and using it to build more charter schools. “I can barely recognize myself anymore, this man who goes on television and talks about how a return to normalcy in American life depends upon increasing funds to public schools and ensuring they have everything they need to succeed. Ugh, how has it come to this? Has the half century I’ve spent in politics been a complete waste?” At press time, Alexander had reportedly cheered himself up by thinking about all the public school teachers and staff whose health would be threatened by reopening too soon.

91 “Reopen the Schools!” It’s political! Libs think it’s good politics... Keeping kids alive 😡

Really appreciate

Ha

I'm sorry but at this point you're either journalist or psychics.

republicans gave in and said fine “what if we send the brats to school but they just make things we can sell all day instead of learning.”

'At press time, Alexander had reportedly cheered himself up by thinking about all the public school teachers and staff whose health would be threatened by reopening too soon.'

thefurlinator Hilarious!!!!!

He's keeping 1.5 eyes on the situation

Brava!

He is entirely wrong. Schools teach nothing of any value in terms of getting a 'job'. They don't even teach English well. Common Core Math is a jumble of irrational nonsense designed to produce dismal SAT scores later, so that in order to reach 'diversity' quotas, standards drop.

As herd immunity distribution centers.

Or even the need for a Department of Education, for that matter.

This has got to be an old joke by now but when did you guys go legit?
