Goddamn, all these terms are so confusing.

I thought they were all called green cards.

Ted Cruz shut your dirty mouth!

I have no clue. I'm not well-versed in immigration policy.
You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

They're all the same "green card", but the categories are different. Saying "stop green cards" is a daft proposition.

Kasich, what you are suggesting is not to educate kids, is to make them little vocational cogs in the system.

I have objections about Common Core, but seriously?! Are all these idiots trying to make things like they were in 20 years ago?

True. I mean, I have also flirted with education myself (wanted to be a teacher at one point). Common Core is okay-ish, but it could be better.

That's generally how most educational reform efforts go.

Nah. Massive school cheating scandals aren't any worse than cheating scandals within our nuclear missile force. :p

I might be wrong, but I think there's been a retooling towards charter schools. Y'know, typical Republican shenanigans policies.
