  • I love her hair, so beautiful 

  • libertarianmonarchy . com/education.htm

    The reason that there is so much corruption and inefficiency in the education system is because it has been nationalized. The government has nationalized the education industry, financial industry, the insurance industry, the healthcare industry, the automobile industry and regulates every other industry into the ground.

    We need Capitalism! We need Liberty!

  • haven't they heard of means-testing applicants?

    

  • The biggest welfare queens are the rich ones.

  • It's people like this lady, not drug addicts or the working poor, who lend a bad reputation to the concept of a social safety net backed by the taxpayer. To me, it's crazy that you can get unemployment benefits if you voluntarily resign from a perfectly good job. You shouldn't be working for the public school system, much less in charge of it, if you'd rather sell out for close to a million bucks than help kids make a life for themselves. She should be ashamed of herself.

  • anyone else think that Ana Kasparian looks like a white Ashanti? check the fat joe ft ashanti video what's love? and decide

  • Watching your videos in a playlist really highlights how spotty your sound is.

    I realise that you are in a new studio, but that new tech should allow you to achieve at least a little uniformity.

    Today it has been all over the place.

  • fuck teachers.

  • I wish they would reform our schools. No Child Left Behind took away all autonomy of teachers. They still get paid shitty wages, they have an enormous workload thanks to weekly tests and paperwork, and they get yelled at for having low scores by administrators that don't do anything but sit on their ass and collect a fat paycheck.

    Teachers aren't allowed to form a lesson plan anymore so it is silly to blame them for bad scores. To top it off, we PAY companies to develop said crappy curriculum.

  • @cheezbawl2003 I agree with you the curriculum is garbage. Private education is the only solution. Not "private schools", those are run by the government. Real privatization of the education industry is what we need.

  • The good old American way. The land of opportunity for a few at the top, while the vast majority work for subsistence wages.

  • I am so sick of people asking for more money for schools. This is the kind of crap that makes me sick. Her salary is blown way out of proportion and I am sick of big government being irresponsible and some getting way too much money while others, like teachers do not get enough at all. Hate the public school system. And I had great teachers. None of them were ever compensated enough.

  • They want to cut off education because they want the American people retarded and clueless about politics.

  • She should get unemployment. For the simple reason that if you end benefits for the well to do they will eventually stop supporting the program. Once this happens the program is sure to be eliminated.

    In order to maintain the program benefits must remain available to all.

  • @WilhelmDrake It's an age old trick, turn a logical and practical safety net into a redistribution to destroy it later on, or make it means tested which for most well thought out benefits involves similar costs to just 'taking the hit' and giving it to people who may not need it.

    It's as twin brother 'starve the beast' has been executed excellently by the Bush Neoconns and many conservative parties in Europe.

  • In most states, and certainly in Ohio, you do not qualify for unemployment comp. (UC) if you resign from a job. If you resign, you are out of work by your own action, and this disqualifies you. I believe this lady won't be allowed to get UC. However, it might be that school board is coopertaing with her and increasing her severance package by deliberately giving false answers or cooperating in some other way so she will be allowed to get UC. FWIW. UC is for layoffs.

  • In most states, if you resign voluntarily, which is what has happened here, you are NOT eligible for unemplyment compensation. Certainly true in Ohio. She may try to get UC, but she may not qualify. for it. In most states if you are out of work through your own actions, which is what happens if you resign, you don't qualify. I think Ana is dead wrong when she says that this lady will get UC. She surely would not get UC in Ohio. FWIW.

  • She used to be superintendent of DC public schools, where I live. All you have to do is look at her record to see how effective she has been. Rewarding incompetence with a million dollars and then going farther to stick it to the city and to the people who need unemployment by being this petty? What's the most painful form of cancer? I hope she gets it.

  • she did pay into unemployment so she gets what she got because she deserved it.

  • America is one gigantic ponzi scheme.

  • Just want to point out that her severance cheque could pay for my tuition for the next 250 semesters, with a little left over. Glad I am eating rice and instant noodles and scraping by so people like her can retire with ease.

  • LOW VOLUME IS LOW

  • wait I thought we are ok with entitlements? She is unemployed, hence unemployment entitlements are for her. She got bought out. Not her fault.

  • @jeffxl12

    She had over 900K in income. She is abusing the intent of the system.

  • If someone gave me a check for that much money, I would fart, shit, puke, belch, piss, and laugh, and cry at the same time.

  • Exploiting even

  • She's exploring the system just like the thousands o people people who sell their food stamp cards and buy liquor and drugs. Get off of her back. Se also earned her 900k , don't hate the player hate the game.

  • @chestveeg

    That's why someone posted how much of a shitty job they did and how fucked the system is because of her?

    Good job CEO cock sucking faggot.

  • if i had a 900k settlement id be donating to charity not claiming unemployment benefits.

  • Exactly Cenk!

    Check Detroit.

    They need to save 100 million, or the state gov sends in the emergency manager, and they'll all be fired.

    So to cut that 100 mill, they are chasing unions, services, utilitys, all to take massive cuts. But not 1, not fucking 1, is will to take a pay cut, mention their own pay cut, or work for free, like a Volunteer Public servant should do, if their city is in strife.

    All talk in every one of these fucking cheats, no walk!

  • Let's hope she has a charitable investment plan.

    Meh, that's what we do, right? Give money to fundraisers and hope they know how to organize a long-term charitable event. We don't seem to mistrust them, why should we mistrust a school superindendent? Still, you'd think she could just sell her current assets for charity and live off the almost-million, start from royally-scratched...

  • I actually work in unemployment appeals and at least in my state you CAN receive unemployment benefits if you resign from your job as long as you can prove that you were presented with the choice of quitting or being immediately fired. However, any severance payments, unused vacation time, etc count against your benefits and you would be disqualified for the number of weeks equivalent to the dollar amount of those payments. Don't worry, she's not getting a check for a long, long time.

  • She was "asked" to resign. If she said no the school board was prepared to take a vote and fire her ass.

  • the reason why ackermann was fired, erh.. forced to resigned was because she allowed hate crimes against Asian students to happen repeatedly on her watch in the schools

  • Here in Delaware, we have more school districts then any other state...does that make any sense? so what happens...every district has to have another building with another super intendent, a 2nd in command...secretaries...staff.­..administrators....etc .... each costing money... some of these "school districts" have just 1 school in them...major way to waste money... super intendents usually have connections, often times their teaching record is less then 10 years...eaaarrgggghhh

  • has anyone noticed youtube has alot of conservative adds?

  • Its sad when superintendents get paid this much and the funding for schools and student development programs is completely nonexistent. Oh yeah, that's right school is just a giant daycare facility or better a farm fence to keep the herd in.

    Greed is never good. I'm constantly amazed how greedy we've become. If anything she should be getting the average of all the school teachers in her district but 900k? Same thing with elected officials, unless everyone is doing well neither should you.

  • Anna looks hot.

  • Comment removed

  • What do you expect from a member of our entitlement class?

  • Comment removed

  • Hey, Cenk.. Do you have any brain? The woman is not the problem. The system that allows that is.

  • That's the ridiculous system of US capitalism. This is a welfare system for the rich and bourgeois (middle class).

    Unemployment benefits should be based on minimum wage only. Nobody should get more money in unemployment benefits than a guy working for minimum wage at Walmart.

  • Andron333

    Jesus christ first of all you don't know that this woman is black, second of all even if she is african american what does that have to do with greed? If you're going to throw around stereotypes like that I'd say most greedy people aren't african american. I'm sure blacks would love to be greedy but I don't think they're given that opportunity by and large since people like you are hell-bent on "putting them in their place". Give me a break with the bullshit here.

  • Wow, nice pay-day check.

  • philly is fucking stupid for paying the bitch that much

  • If she was a black woman, then its pretty clear why she got the 900,000 severance. She was probably a bitch, and threatened to sue for racial and sexual discrimination. Thats just the type of stuff that minority women can get away with these days. Cause no one wants a messy law suit. I d like to hear a better explanation than that for why she got this much money. There is only one reason :)

  • @andron333 nice work sherlock,you cracked the case.if you were to do just a smidge of research you would find out that every part of your supposition is crap beside the facts that she is a black woman and she got a nine hundred thousand dollar settlement.if you are interested in FACTS,which i doubt,google DR. arlene ackerman.i got my info from that font of liberal bias,the local fox affiliate.a colon and a close parenthesis.one wonders why there is no punctuation mark to signify 'shit-eating'...

  • Educational crooks.

  • Ye that lady is a bitch

  • ana looks sexy as hell

  • Man, that's wrong!

  • Well obviously she is doing 20x the work of the teachers.. duh.

  • What the hell kind of salary was she on, if she was $905,000 severance?

  • I dont understand qualifying for unemployment, she makes more than I do in a week and I work.

  • in the UK you wont be eligible for any benefits if you have more than £16,000 in savings

  • Our superintendant had sex with one of our teachers and had a video of it on pornhub it was under the interracial category

  • @505ROLLIN pm me

  • Nice hair ana, do a tutorial. XD

  • @SangtotheDy -_- lol

  • I am a student of Philadelphia public schools, this woman totally mismanaged the money, used loans to help out her friends companies instead of giving it to the schools and therefore making massive cuts have to happen even more than the ones that are already happening all over the country. People were BEGGING for her to leave, she finally did with the check- meanwhile while the district is scrambling to get back on it's feet, she goes and does this. It was a huge slap in the face to us students.

  • no wonder MSNBC didn't want you on their network. this is not the kind of story they want the public to know about. lol

  • But if you spent that on education, the students would get wise to these awful schemes and stop them. So they really had no choice.

  • She's going to get $575 A WEEK??? What the fuck?? Poor people can't get that much in a MONTH on unemployment!

  • This is why Ron Paul wants to close down the Dept of Education.

  • In Latvia, we have a ceiling for unemployment bonuses.

  • Abolish the Dept of Education. To continue to waste more and more money on it, expecting things to change is the very definition of insanity. Also, end all government student loans (note I said government) the government loans have a backward effect, causing higher price for tuition. Oh, you can't afford school on your own now that we've raised tuition again? That's ok, just go down to student services and fill out some government forms... there... problem solved. ^-^

  • I have a solution for all these issues... sniper rifles. You do the math.

  • @Coffeeisnecessary No it wasn't and yes I would and do. God, you're a virgin

  • This would NEVER happen in the Palination!

  • i am inclined to play devils advocate on this one, if your BMW gets wreaked you still get to file for insurance even if you are rich , that the problem with EI i does not get treated like insurance, its all some dark arcane ritual to find if you are needy enough. No it's insurance i pay, bad stuff happens, you pay, i feel better, (or you find some loophole and screw me :P)

  • How long will it be before this super goes to work for Wall Street?

  • What's with these Sotherby ads? Are they supposed to make us feel like crap because were not rich? Can't rich people run THEIR ads on their own tube?

  • Holy smokes Ana is burning it up with that hair do.

  • How does one get a severance for resigning?

    You quit, or get fired, you get NOTHING!

    As far as I know, you can only qualify for unemployment if you were laid off.

    Many people apply anyway just to see if their company fais to respond, and they get it.

  • @TruthAndMoreTruth Or if you were wrongly fired. I'm in charge of a department at work and trust me, we have to keep documentation to make certain we can fight people because they will try to challenge us. I'm sure though, that there are instances where a firing is unjust and therefore, that person should get their unemployment if not their job back.

  • DAMN! How that sum comes up?!

  • It's things like this that make me want to put the teaching option off the list, and just go into academia, law or journalism after I complete my degree.

  • didn't tell us why she got so much money

  • How much money you have is and should be irrelevant towards getting unemployment support or not.

    If she was denied because of severance pay everybody else would too and most often it would hurt unintended people that didnt get 1mill.

    Only thing I thought was strange is that she would get it early even if she left her job willingly. Where I live you get it strait away if its NOT voluntarily. Down sizing, fired etc. If you leave by your own accord you have to wait about 6 weeks, I think.

  • Videos are too quiet.

  • Guys, we need to make sure the Department of Education gets more money!! They're under-funded!!! That's why education is so bad!!

  • Ana so fucking hot

  • @za1pp isn't it true? ugh

  • pause at 0:09 for ana puckering up!

  • This is the poster child for Republican greed right in front of our faces. They work the system in every way they can to enrich themselves regardless of a "need" for it. I can't tell you how many of these scumbags I've met here in up state NY. One keeps a "residence" in PA, to avoid taxes in NY.  Another is secretly living with a woman who qualifies for section 8 housing and SSDI, then helps her spend her "refund" money at tax time of 6K. (two kids,not his). These are the moral majority?

  • did she say Malin Ackerman?

  • Lucky lady, but she will lose it all somehow, they always do.

  • You do NOT qualify for unemployment if you resign.

  • @nenaluvv My dad resigned and got unemployment.

  • This lady also stole from the San Francisco School district when she was superintendent.

  • Everybody complains about the teachers because it's easy and politicallly popular. But look at the administrations, the principals, the superintendents and the school boards. Thats where you find the crooked dumb asses that fuck up the school system.

  • my god, i've come back to this channel after a long time (8 months) and Ana looks so HAWT now.

  • sloppy camerawork and the colors doesn't match

  • 20 times? More like 30X an average teachers salary.

  • America was built on genocide, slavery & profiteering. We rid ourselves of the first two, but have yet to act on the latter.

    -Edgar Allan Poe

  • The echo in your new studio is incredibly annoying.

  • ENOUGH WITH THE SAME STUPID ADD!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @TORONTOinHD

    Oh my god, if you don't like the ads, just download AdBlock Plus. You'll never see another ad again, and I won't have to read comments from people like you who are too fucking dumb to realize that technology has already produced a solution to your problem.

  • I agree with Cenk: "If she qualifies, she qualifies." If something feels wrong, change the rules, don't blame her. However, how she got the $1M should probably be investigated for fraud.

  • 905k check isn't near 1 million.

    Just as 5k isn't near 100k.

  • @Neji1984 it's 90.5% of the way there, that's pretty close

  • @Neji1984 oh yea, 5k is totally 90% of 100k

  • @Kokojin You're an idiot. He's saying 905k is 90.5% of 1 million.

  • @Neji1984 90.5% is near 100%. So yeah, 905k is near 1 million.

  • Please normalize the volume for your videos. Thanks.

  • Wow, the balls on this lady. I am impressed, I want my job to let me go with $905,000. No more debt, I can then fix up my house, car, and feed my family, and relax for a little bit.

  • I really think you should take this to the unions Cenk.

    But I guess you have to make people believe unions are saints...

  • That's it Cenk, try to blame the Republicans again for what the big union National "Education" Association does, like buying out an unqualified superintendent in liberal Philadelphia.Trying to defend, what cannot be defended makes you look a little stupid.

  • You do not qualify for unemployment when you resign from a position. The economic definition of unemployed is someone who desires to work but cannot find employment. A person who is working and then voluntarily stops is not considered unemployed, but is considered to have exited the labor market. If you are fired, however, you are elligible for unemployment because you do desire to work. Trust me, I'm unemployed right now.

  • kk these are annoying yet.. just when i thought the world couldn't get much more retarded... fucking greasy fat fascist pigs need to stop being so greedy and stupid.

  • My question is why would the school system rather pay her 900,000$ instead of firing her?

  • @Gr4yW0rld prob because if they had fired her, she could have tried to sue and that could have dragged out and cost them a lot more.

  • Half that check and I'd live the rest of my life in comfort.

  • Fix the coloring shade change from different camera angles?

  • Ugh. Fucking Arlene Ackerman. The whole city hates this bitch.

  • How many times does Cenk need to ask "right..."? in this (and other) clips? Always in need of validation... right?

  • @hofifut

    Damn, you. Why did you have to write this. Now "right?" is the only thing I hear

  • @hofifut Maybe he doesn't think his personal opinion is infallible - what a shame.

  • The Amazing Atheist has said it the best, "we now live in a world where the Onion can just be regular news now".

  • @youngn420 and we live in a world where people quote a fucking retard like the amazing atheist to make a point.

  • I would totally have done the same thing. srsly. then I would have moved out of the country after unemployment ran out. yes, I am a complete and total dick.

    however, I probably would have invested the money and donated a ton to various charities, but yeah, most of it would be kept. don't care.

  • @TuhdTheTroll The Ceo's of many banks would have done this as well.  Actually, they would have done far worse.

  • The only bright side to this story is at least that greedy monster isn't in charge of school budgets anymore.

  • It would have been cheaper to buy her a vacation abroad and accuse her of terrorism, then the military would send a drone on her ass.

  • @Ypthor

    I doubt that would be cheaper. I think our drone operations are already overextended targeting children in small villages collecting firewood.

  • @Ypthor Don't those missiles cost like 5 mil a piece?

  • @Ypthor only problem being the bomb they drop on her will cost around a million bucks.

  • If you don't like the standards set by current unemployment insurance policy, then advocate for that to be changed. But there is nothing wrong with taking advantage of government programs available. Condemning her for taking advantage of her options is absurd. It would be like getting angry at someone for accepting a tax refund because they "already get paid enough in the first place".

  • @mseldenm1387 I disagree. If your only standard of moral behavior is "it's not against the law" then that's a very low standard. It's called doing the right thing. The law isn't the ultimate standard for living a good life. The law gives us a bunch of things not to do, but it doesn't speak to what makes a decent human being.

  • Meanwhile 92% of teachers spend of their own salary to buy school supplies.

  • @CognosSquare That is, those teachers who haven't been laid off "because there's no money..." have a salary to spend... It's ridiculous. The system is so rigged. The illegal, fraudulent and corrupt have been made perfectly legal for the sake of the most wealthy. Political bribery is now par for the course.

  • Put her ass in jail for fraud.

  • And so continues America's obsession with rewarding failure. I have never seen a BIGGER entitlement class than those in the top 1%.

  • OH MAH LAWD Ana Looks HOOOTTTTT!

  • God Ana is hot

  • to be fair, maybe that million is going straight to her retirement account, and she's gonna live off of the unemployment from day to day until she gets a new job. This is reasonable, considering she probably can't count on social security being there when she retires.

  • @rushindulen Sorry, but this is in no way reasonable.

  • Whats with the sound TYT, very inconsistant mic'ing. still getting the studio set up?

  • Pretty much all superintendents are worthless and corrupted.

  • Why can't I ever get that much money?

  • @dragnet53 "Why can't I ever get that much money?"

    You can, just become corrupt and popular and then start working for the republican party.

  • Golden Parachutes are a one of the great examples of the corruption of American "Capitalism".

  • The real problem is that you can quit your job and receive unemployment.

  • @clm51193 Actually that isn't true.

  • The school superintendent for my school district (Syosset Central School District - New York) makes 350,000ish a year, plus MASSIVE benefits - like a driver to and from her house in Westchester b/c she's legally blind. Even Gov. Cuomo mentioned her outrageous (disastrous) pay. 

  • That woman disgusts me... she's a perfect example of what's wrong with our country... Of course democracy is a joke when all these people are out for themselves without giving others a second thought... I'm sorry but I hope something really horribly bad happens to her, like really bad like she finds out she has cancer or her dog attacks her or something...

  • So, if you quit your job, you're still eligible to get unemployment?

  • @GrecoRoman123 There is too much fraud that can happen so the free market will say no to that.

  • Unemployment needs to be private. This way you can account for many different variables in the calculation of unemployment. Some jobs are temporary so their unemployment should be more expensive. Some jobs are more permanent so their unemployment should be cheaper. You can pay more to be covered for more years or pay less to be covered for less. It does not matter if you rich or poor you will have it according to your needed. The free market will make it cheaper to afford.

  • @bigboywasim You're high right now aren't you.

  • Ana finally got her wardrobe goin' on. That, and she didn't say anything stupid this time. Good job, Ana.

  • The free market is the best solution to this problem. The government and the fed simply screw everything up. Money will not be so cheap so it will not be lavished on the top employees as much. It will be easier for business to come into existence so there will be more business and more competition. If labor is too cheap it will move to somewhere else. If it is too expensive then the companies will not be able to spend as much on other expenses.

  • People like that superintendent (and a lot of them are like that in public schools) can eat shit and die. My parents are both teachers and so is my girlfriend. While you see teachers get shit on and they have to worry about being let go because there is "no money" you have superintendents being payed like they are fucking CEOs on Wallstreet --- WTF do we need OCCUPY PUBLIC SCHOOLS STREET to happen next?

  • this is what the government should take her house for...make her pay it back 10 fold.

  • probably paid to keep her mouth shut about somthing

  • sometimes I hope that in 2012 shit really happens

  • am i the only one who read the title as Super Nintendo ?
