The Republican War On Teachers
There’s a war being waged on America’s teachers, and we must stand up for them before it’s too late.
Teachers watch over America’s most precious asset — our children.
They dedicate their lives to caring for our youth, serving as role models, and making sure that future generations are set up for success.

The long-rumoured report on Australian military atrocities in the Afghanistan war has just been released (and immediately kicked down the road by the national government). I have been thinking about why the Australian military were there in the first place. It's a familiar story: "forward defence", stop-them-over-there, Defend Democracy, our government's need for some violence to scare the voters with, and the same government's habit of doing whatever the American government wants done... But then, why do we have wars anyway?
