You are confusing statistics with acceptance.  You still have to confront
the bullshit, even though its statistics say there will be more bullshit in
the future.

And to Lucy, it was more than talk radio concerned about these things.  Its
usually a majority of the parents in the local school system concerned
about their own children's education and the wise use of their tax dollars
that are concerned about teachers who don't teach their subjects and waste
their time on political soapbox clich‚ derby with a captive audience
(because that's the only kind of audience that would give them the time of
day to listen to their political drivel).
