Teacher Union Prez to Baptist clergy:
“Can you imagine if the members of the faith community would join with the NEA, and we go hand-in-hand, arm-in-arm, to members of Congress? That is one of the things I have been trying to do, get people to come together as partners, so we can go forward with one message of what is important to kids.”

Weaver said his definition of partnership is there is benefit for both parties. . .

[JJ's note: the parties AT the party, he means -- never mind the rights or needs of the supper they're sharing; he fudges it to make it seem the kids will be served, so we'll imagine them sitting at the table as important guests, the raison pour la fête, but no -- what he has in mind is kids ON the table AS the feast! Why concern themselves in the slightest over how the dishes might prefer to be cooked?]

Our children, in this scenario, are mere commodities that Congress will be instructed to bless and then carve up into standardized servings for both School and Church — a waste of good food though, since all evidence and experience tells us these lions are insatiable and Congress is probably next on the menu.
