Dear Valerie Jarrett: Take Your “Teachable Moment” and Shove It

   

Dear Valerie Jarrett,

You smugly describe Roseanne Barr’s firing from ABC as a “teachable moment”.

Exactly what will it teach? And to whom?

“Education” implies free will and choice. Obama’s administration was all about coercion. Whether it was socialized medicine, opening America’s borders via executive fiat to give your party more power, seizing control of the Internet, threatening to raise taxes by executive order or threatening to imprison people who disagree with your party on climate change or Islam — it was all about coercion.

Coercion and education are opposites, Ms. Jarrett. If nothing else, you should be intelligent enough to know that.

You don't have to post the first three paragraphs.  You can skip over the boring crap and post a hot segment to get people to read the article....

You seek a world where everyone agrees with you, and those who do not — well, they must pretend to agree.

Valerie Jarrett does not have the market cornered on this idea.

I always found the term 'teachable moment' irritatingly condescending. Which is probably why the Obama team is so fond of using it.
