Off with their heads!
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Today’s topic is courtesy of V for Vendetta who suggested the idea on yesterday’s post. Here’s the suggestion:
“Can we have a blog dedicated to the overthrowing of our state and local leaders? I suggest one for each metro county. Promote it among friends and neighbors. Only with strength of numbers will we be able to crack the stranglehold the tyrants have on education in this state.”
I’m not encouraging anarchy by any means, but this is an interesting question.
This school year is about half over and already we’ve seen a lot of leaders promoting controversial programs — the new math curriculum; uniforms and single-gender classes in Clayton; budget cuts and possible layoffs in DeKalb and Decatur; and Gwinnett’s plan to be freed from some state mandates.
Who would you “overthrow”? Who or what kind of person would you put in their place?
