The biggest obstacle to funding education in the Legislature are the public employee unions (including teacher unions)and their leaders incessant demand for more pay for their employees which translates to more money for the union bosses to buy more politicians.

When did the shooter become a Tea Party member? The last I read he was a leftist. I'm not a Tea Party or Palin supporter by the way. I believe the truth is, both sides are guilty of fanning the flames.

These teachers show incredible insensitivity to the problems their community are ...
