 Welcome to the Knuckleheads of Liberty. And so in Michigan, and maybe I can get that story up here, they have said they're going to allow school bus drivers and cafeteria workers to teach your kids now because they're running short on teachers because a lot of teachers are being just, I guess, paid by Biden and others to just stay home. And so they're literally talking about, you know, not keeping the kids home, but essentially taking the school bus drivers and the cafeteria workers out of their positions and having them step in to teach kids. And, you know, I have nothing against the cafeteria staffers and school bus drivers, but they clearly haven't, that's not what they were trained to do is to teach your kids, unless they're teaching them how to make lunch or drive the bus. I'm not quite sure, you know, what the point of that is other than just to put a bandaid on a failing public school system and a failed COVID policy. So it's just outrageous, you know, to think that not only are these kids had to miss a lot of school, but now they're, you know, as bad as we think public education may have been before. The idea is that they're not even a fig leaf on it. Now they're saying, hey, just grab somebody, put them in front of your kids and, hey, we'll stamp educated on them at the end of all this. So what do you guys have to say about this whole crazy story? I mean, pretty soon, pretty soon they'll probably go down on the streets of San Francisco and take a couple of homeless guys and have them teach our children. You know, this is the insanity of all of this, okay? And if this whole mess about our schools during the COVID, if this does not prove the parents that we need school choice in these great United States of ours, we need school choice and we need it now. If this doesn't prove that to the parents of this country, then we are in a deep, deep ditch from which we will never return. You know, when you think about it, public education in America is a national disgrace. It really is. It's something to be ashamed of. It truly is something to be ashamed of. I mean, this is probably one of the things that would make anyone be ashamed to be an American citizen is the public education. And I mean, if you look at what is going on in the urban centers of America, where black and brown kids are so miseducated and ill-educated, it makes you want to cry at times to think that this is happening in this great land where we have all this wealth around us. But the reason why we are having these things is the central planners. The central planners have all decided one size should fit all. We should have this zip code tyranny and then we're gonna have Joe Biden and company coming and paying teachers to stay home. And then what do we end up with? We haven't now bus drivers gonna teach our children. We haven't now- And just to clarify too, when you said zip code tyranny for anybody who's not sure what that means, it means you're locked into wherever you happen to live. That's where your kid is gonna go to school. Sorry, Leon, I just wanted to make sure that's clear. And this is leading to one outcome. Is the misery of our children. And this is what central planners always do, produce misery. Look at what have happened to our kids as a result of the COVID. They had to stay home and they stayed home for no reason. There was no science to back it up. It's just a national disgrace. Now we need school choice and we need it now. Well, outside of the first thought was, maybe it would be an improvement on the teachers to have the bus drivers teaching them, you know? And maybe the homeless guy might have a better method to get across mathematics and science to these kids. Well, Tim, they might be giving them survival skills after they get that diploma, how they're gonna get back. Oh, for sure. I mean, if nothing less, at least the homeless guy would probably have some stories for them to share and keep them engaged, you know, for, you know, I mean, because, you know, the rest of the time they're just probably bored out of their minds. Anyway, no, if I was serious, I would just agree with what Leon had to say. And Leon also, he always has the same solution because that's the solution is school choice. And it is a disgrace. I mean, you know, it's just, you know, we're supposed to be the greatest country in the world in many ways we are. I mean, it's not like I want to leave, but so many ways it is disgraceful. And this whole massive, when you have, you know, 50 laboratories that you can, you know, do all kinds of things to have a department of education. And this is the dumbest thing we ever did. Right. And everything went downhill after that was enacted. You can just follow it. So anyway, yeah, I don't have anything to add. We know that that's of substance, put it that way. Well, to add one thing of substance. I don't think, you know, part of the issue with the competition and choice is I can't imagine a better time to have had competition and choice because we're dealing with a new uncertain situation. And this would have allowed for there to be different models springing up of how to deal with this. Some people would have tried things that didn't work. Some things might have tried things that work. And we'd be moving on to a path that allowed for, you know, maybe a better system instead. We got one bad choice that is now saying they're going to put people who clearly haven't been trained to teach your kids and put those people in front of your kids. So I just, it just, it's... It's mind boggling. And I mean, and you know, Jason, maybe some parents might elect to have their kids go online. Some parents may elect that. But let them choose that for their children if that is their choice. But to say that we locked into this nonsense, this tyranny of the zip code it's painful to think about it. What is it doing to our children? I know our grandkids. Well, beyond the zip code, just the same planners too, you know, just sending down the same stuff for everybody. So... Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness always. Thank you for listening to the Knuckleheads of Liberty podcast.
