Is Gary Chartrand homophobic too? Union members, black kids, poor kids, what is next?
How is this guy allowed near education again? From the I can’t make this up category, today at Florida’s education summit he said: Florida Board Chairman Gary Chartrand suggested that the state look for a curriculum or instructional materials for Common Core that "align with Florida's values and culture." He said reading lists could upset people; particularly in they mentioned topics such as socialism or homosexuality.

Where do I start? Oh I know, throwing up in my mouth a little bit.
Replacing professional teachers with scabs is not a value I share but it is a value he has. I am not a big fan of raced based goals or handicapping those schools, neighborhoods and students that can least afford it either. Charters, A-F grading scale and ignoring poverty anyone?
Next reading lists should be about expanding horizons and boundaries, opening up student’s minds and allowing them to explore. They shouldn’t be narrowed to reflect Gary Chartrand’s supposed values.
Chartrand talks about values and then proposes we ignore homosexuals as if they didn't exist. I guess for him it would be better if thye were all back in the closet.
Money obviously does not equal tact or intelligence. Chartrand talks about values and then proposes we ignore homosexuals as if they didn't exist. I guess for him it would be better if thye were all back in the closet.
