Academic powerhouse, though?

  1. Is she talking about Alabama University, or the state of Alabama? Either one is a stretch, but the Alabama’s public school ranking is consistently bottom 5.

  2. I’m not American and even *I* know how much of a dumb state Alabama is, lmaooo

  3. Instead of shaming the people wronged by the government and given a subpar education, we should attack the people who wronged them.

    Here’s to wrestling day at the government

  5. The administration is pushing people to be dumb. People are easier to control if ignorant.

  6. Isn’t Alabama ranked in the bottom two states when it comes to education?

  7. “California should model its ~~educational~~ football standards after ~~academic~~ gridiron powerhouses like Alabama.”

    FTFY, Liz.

  8. There’s like one town in Alabama doing all the heavy academic lifting.

  9. This can’t be real, can it? **No one** in America would use the term “academic powerhouse” to describe Alabama, including most Alabamans.

  10. As an Alabama teacher we are making gains. We are modeling ourselves off the practices of Mississippi. Id rather we not just insult states.

  11. I live in Alabama. What are you talking about? We need help with making our public schools better.

  12. This bitch is fed flash cards with answers to questions during every hearing I’ve seen her in. The incompetence is astounding.

  13. Odd statement seeing Alabama K-12 ranks between 37 to 50th place in academic achievement and the university’s are in the 100’s in achievement. No real evidence of overwhelming educational superiority or leadership bottom rung of the pack.

  14. Trump “loves the uneducated” and his Secretary of Education is trying to give Cheato Bandito more objects of his affection.

  15. Dumb in California is the same thing as a genius in Alabama.

    Stuff like that always reminds me of my older brother; when he was a Junior in high school, I am a decade younger, we moved from this tiny rural crap school to a much larger town and a much better school. He was top of his class in the small rural school, but was way behind once we got to the new school.

    I was young enough that it didn’t really impact me much, and I had far more time to grow.

  16. Stupid and ghoulish is apparently the way to go through life and then land a cushy government appointment.

  17. “Academic Powerhouse”? More like Academic Shithouse.

  18. Isn’t she the ai lady?? I mean steak sauce lady, a1?? She looks like she smells of Chanel, Ben gay, denture cream, and moth balls.

  19. I’m as liberal as they come, and the woman in the picture is right. She is talking about the Mississippi Miracle, wherein the state jumped from 49th in reading scores to 9th I a decade. The program was replicated in Alabama and Louisiana to similar effect.

    In a nutshell, they got serious about phonics and holding back students who were not succeeding, where more liberal states embraced Lucy Calkin’s BS approach.

  20. She got that line from A1, not AI—the steaksauce bottle….Yes, she is a moron.

  21. Haha…Alabama public schools have some of the lowest test scores in the nation 😂😂

  22. Alabama does have some high-tech space industry in it though, doesn’t it?

  23. The exceptional education quality in Amurica facilitated the election of our very first true Presidunce.

  24. I went to college in Alabama. We always used to say “49th in everything and thank god for Mississippi.”

  25. I live in Alabama.

    What in the name of the glorious spaghetti monster is she talking about?!?!?!

  26. I’m smarter than everyone running the country and I’m a fucking idiot. We’re doomed fam.

  27. Did you know that the university of Alabama invented the tooth brush? Because if any other school had invented it, it would have been named a teeth brush
