“The View” hosts hit a hot button topic when they discussed teacher tenure on Monday night’s show.
Co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Jenny McCarthy had a passionate conversation with guests Kayleigh McEnany and Nicole Wallace regarding whether or not teachers should be protected by tenure.
“On the heels of parents suing the board of education for their policies on teacher tenure that protect teachers from being fired,” Goldberg began, “it will most likely become the big issue in 2016’s presidential elections. Now no one wants a teacher in the classroom who isn’t teaching, who isn’t a good teaching – teacher, but do people really need to sue over that?”
The women were unanimous in their agreement that it was worthy of a lawsuit. Teachers should only remain teachers when they actually do their job.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, locked in multiple legal battles with his own school board over Common Core education standards, has has made a new, ambitious legal claim.
Common Core, he says, is not merely bad policy, but a violation of federal law. It’s an allegation that could encourage lawsuits against the standards in other states currently implementing the standards.
In a brief submitted Wednesday as part of a lawsuit against Louisiana’s Board for Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE), Jindal’s attorneys claim that a consortium used to create multistate standardized tests aligned with Common Core was transformed into a cudgel to force states to obey federal edicts on education.
The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) is a consortium of more than a dozen states who are working together to create common assessments built around Common Core. Louisiana was an early member of the consortium, and until two months ago was preparing to use PARCC materials for the state’s 2015 standardized tests.
Such plans collapsed into chaos, though, when Jindal issued a set of executive orders declaring that the state’s contract with PARCC violated state law and required the creation of a brand new contract to craft standardized tests, which Jindal said should not be aligned with Common Core. BESE has alleged that Jindal’s actions are illegal, and has vowed to continue forward with Common Core-derived tests while joining a lawsuit against the governor.

If you want to understand the Islamic totalitarian and jihadist mentality, it’s best to simply allow them to express themselves in their own words.
