Rich families already have #schoolchoice. It's poor kids who need it most. Why are teachers unions selfishly standing in their way? #SCW

RED EYE - SEPTEMBER 6, 2014 FULL EPISODE

Greg welcomes guests Tom Shillue, Carley Shimkus and Will Rahn.

Teaching the neurotic Left to hate ISIS

Apparently the task of getting liberals worked up into a lather against ISIS has been farmed out to Secretary of State John Kerry.  I guess it's a good sign that the Administration thinks the Left needs to wake up to the ISIS threat, but it's strange that they would need this much hand-holding.  The genocide, beheadings, and efforts to build a global guild of throat-cutters weren't enough?

Here's today's installment, hot off the Twitter griddle:

Kerry says of ISIL, "it's time to put an an end to a group so extreme it bans math and social studies for children."
— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) September 19, 2014

Those bastards. We might be able to get over the crucifixions, mass graves, and posing for photos with severed heads, but we draw the line at messing with math and social studies classes! Has anyone given any thought to paralyzing ISIS by dropping Common Core math on them?

This put me in mind of SecState Kerry's encounter with Code Pink the other day. The last whacked-out remnant of the old "anti-war" movement – give them some credit for consistency, since their Bush-era comrades-in-disarm suddenly decided unilateral warfare is super awesome when Barack Obama does it – barged into a congressional hearing and interrupted Kerry's testimony. Kerry addressed the protesters thus:

"I respect the right of Code Pink to protest and to use that right," he said. "But you know what, I also know something about Code Pink. Code Pink was started by a woman, and women, who were opposed to war but who also thought that the government's job was to take care of people. And to give them health care and education and good jobs."

"And if that's what you believe in — and I believe it is — then you ought to care about fighting ISIL," Kerry continued. "Because ISIL is killing and raping and mutilating women. They believe women shouldn't have an education. They sell off girls to be sex slaves to jihadists. . . . And they're not offering anyone health care of any kind. They're not offering anyone education of any kind."

"Frankly, Code Pink and a lot of other people need to stop and think about how you stop them and deal with that," the secretary of state concluded.
