Land of the free

Too Long/Didn't Read

Too Long, Didn't Read (TL/DR) section

If you give a kid an iPad, he'll have to have an Internet connection. And if he has an internet connection at school, he can have one at home, too. If you have an Internet connection at school and home, you can implement digital textbooks. If you use digital textbooks, you can easily create digital exams which everyone can take. If you create digital exams for everyone, you will need to teach a common curriculum. If you teach a common curriculum, he can pull out his free iPad from his backback to create an advertising brochure for a green energy company in 7th grade math class. If he creates green energy brochures in math class, he will be completely unprepared for the real world. But, at least he has a free iPad.

Rich Crandall admits he has spent 5 years working alongside leftists intent on destroying our educational system and "equalizing" outcomes. CCSS is FAR from a "state-led" effort. It was conceived, written, implemented and funded by leftist organizations and an Obama Administration whose goal is to "transform" America using our children.

Obama's "Green Ribbon" awards in Arizona. Just another way to implement Agenda 21 in our local schools. Less about learning and more about brainwashing.

Jeff Flake was FOR Comprehensive Immigration Reform before he was AGAINST it after he was FOR it.

Robert Graham prides himself on single-handedly defeating Prop 121 which had no chance of winning to begin with and lined the pockets of political consultants along the way. "Conservative" Graham's ARL PAC also donated to Orrin Hatch as well as the Republican Victory Fund who used that money to support Rich Crandall over John Fillmore in a primary election.

Robert Graham's credentials might not be all they are cracked up to be.

Arizona Farm Bureau teams up with leftists to push immigration reform.

Arizona Party Builders backed by the usual suspects.
