More duck-talk about teacher testing today. Mallard has some unidentified newspaper and he is reading that "A lot of good teachers support subject-specific teacher testing, but they're often intimidated into silence... ...by teachers who'd have trouble reciting the alphabet!"
Wow! Mallard, do you actually have EVEN ONE SINGLE EXAMPLE of a teacher who doesn't know the alphabet? Come on Mr. Tinsley, give us the name and school of even ONE teacher.
The real target of his ire is the N.E.A. The last part of his cartoon says "Except of course... for the letters N.E.A." Oh surprise surprise, the duck doesn't like the teacher's union (does he like ANY unions?)
Do you Mallard/Tinsley, or you, gentle-reader, actually believe that the NEA is intimidating anyone to protect teachers who cannot recite the alphabet? If there were teachers like this, how are they able to write the check to pay their union dues? Let alone complete college and obtain their teaching certificates?
Maybe I'm being too hard on the -duck, after all, he's supposedly reading this out of a newspaper and of course EVERYTHING that's printed is honest, complete and unbiased (especially periodicals like the American Spectator) so it's easy to see how the duck could say something as patently stupid as he does today.
