This is their leadership conference, where they're in a hotel having a leadership conference, singing songs together about kicking the governor in his toolbox. I wonder what they mean by that? But I can tell you I sense it would hurt. The arrogance, the greed, the self-interest, the lack of introspection, the lack of standards, and it hurts the great teachers just as much as it hurts our kids.

It's enlightening; it's enraging.
