I dont think its the right being hypocritical. I think america as a nation is hypocritical. We say we value education but in reality we dont.
A large percentage of kids look upon education as something to get done with... They look at their teachers as second rate citizens. There really is no value for education and it comes from....drumroll please.......parents.
Thats because most parents know the truth. The vast majority of teachers are liberal a-holes and most public schools are not into educating our kids, but rather are there to indoctrinate them with a liberal agenda at the cost of a proper education. This is why my kids go to private school, where teachers don't get a free ride but are held accountable for their actions and their failures.
