The principal is using the buzzwords from Agenda 21 to justify her summer trip and make herself appear erudite and above the rest. I know the word "stakeholder" is used in other areas of culture and business..but the word has taken on a life of its own with the globalist indoctrination crowd. "Stakeholders" - it's all the rage. So much so now that is beyond trite. Students are students...they are not "stakeholders" unless you want to place them into the global socialist jargon. Agenda 21. Look that up.<br /><br />My point was her justification for her trip is bogus at best. How she funds it through panhandling is not cool, since I am sure that on her salary she can afford it. I have no doubt that after all the suckers chip in, she will write the trip off as a business expense on next year's tax return.

I think this is so embedded into our system at this point, I can't help but wonder how to ever remove it. We were doing just great with "equal under the law." Why'd they have to screw it up? ....<br /><br />Hang in there...we just keep trying!Cheryl Passhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01894307477506374497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215147935611201277.post-82856642654568632632013-06-04T17:58:17.595-07:002013-06-04T17:58:17.595-07:00So this principal has a vision for some educationa...So this principal has a vision for some educational innovation and seeks private donations to research the idea. What's the big problem? By looking at your profile and reading some of your material, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like the idea of her funding her trip with tax dollars. <br /><br />"Stakeholders" is simply a useful catch-all term that educators commonly use to include students, parents, staff and the broader community which supports the schools and benefits from the education provided. It's not unique to education. Anyone who holds an interest in an enterprise is known as a stakeholder. If it's a corporation, the term shareholders is used more often. Is your point just that we should only use dummied down language in our discourse? I'd have to disagree.Dave Eckstromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13521336850803352134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215147935611201277.post-11752020003520281322013-06-02T23:19:55.392-07:002013-06-02T23:19:55.392-07:00Anytime the elite manage to shift the burden of ta...Anytime the elite manage to shift the burden of taxes by avoiding them and piling them on you- it is class warfare. They win and you lose.<br /><br />Anytime corporate America can privatize profits and socialize losses, it is class warfare.<br /><br />Anytime the elite can avoid sending their children to war while sending yours instead- it is class warfare.<br /><br />You can ignore, deny it, call it something else. But right now in 'merica Cheryl it has never been worse. Even Warren Buffet himself said that the elite declared war on the middle class and they won. <br /><br />I am always amazed when I stumble upon someone that says class warfare does not exist or that it isn't important. You literally have to ignore everything going on in the world to buy into that meme. Here's the important part. I don't begrudge GE's right to make billions- but not paying tax 107 billion over eight years?? Warren Buffet's secretary paying a higher tax % than he?? How can you possibly deny the facts?? <br /><br />Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11009623520148094685noreply@blogger.com
