What normal child would say yes.<br /><br />When I contacted the teacher and expressed my objections she agreed, and then the next week they brought home readings on the poaching of gorillas!<br /><br />What we are witnessing now is the culling by politicians and educrats, and Cuomo should win an Oscar for his performance...as he throws his partners in crime into the pits rather than take the blame, which the audience knows rests firmly in his lap, or up his behind.<br /><br />It would be wonderful to see a remake...the political culling of individuals such as Cuomo, who have done so much damage and destruction to our children, our public schools, and our communities...calling it the Elimination of Political Monsters so that All Children may Live!<br /><br />The leading actor: Andrew Cuomo<br /><br />Supporting cast:<br /><br />John King<br />Maryellen Elia<br />Meryl Tisch as the Pearly Observer<br /><br />The Broken Hearts Club as the orchestra playing the death march.<br /><br />Obama as the President of the Common Core Theatrical Association<br /><br />David Coleman as the theater manager<br /><br />And Bill Gates funding the show, to run on Broadway, scratching his face, wondering how this show will affect viewers for at least 10 years!<br /><br />To be followed by the sequel...the Culling of the Common Core!<br /><br />I am sure that more than 71.5% of the viewers would enjoy both shows.

In my school, 7th and 8th graders spend 6 months out of the 20 months combined in those grades reading literature and writing essays that are sympathetic to the plight of refugees. I used to wonder why our government has such a fetish for this topic, but in light of very recent events, I now know.

The emperor urged the artist to climb inside and demonstrate and when he did the lid was slammed shut and a fire started underneath. Did Mrs. Elia think coming to New York where Andrew Cuomo calls the shots was going to be good for her career? I think I just heard the bull's lid slamming shut. Silly Commissioner, thought Meryl Tisch could keep her safe.

We can only wish because then that means he'll stop doing what his financial backers are paying him for. If that is true. I can only wonder if Elia knows.
