We Don't Need No Education Revolution

• Milt Shook:

  Does a nation that stands in line for a new smartphone when it comes out sound like a country that is aching for a revolution? When you walk down the street, for every person who’s handing out fliers calling for people to rise up against injustice, there are 100 who don’t see them because they’re staring at their smartphone and listening to Justin Bieber on their way home to turn on the TV to find out what happened to the Kardashians today.
  
  Bernie people, especially the PUBs and pro lefties, who dream of “revolution” because they’ve talked themselves into being pissed off about things they don’t even understand, are doing far more to hold back the progressive movement than to move it forward. If you want things to change, wishing for it will never work. It never has worked and it can’t work. Moving this country to the left is amazingly easy, but you’re doing it wrong. Giving people hope and asking them to vote is how you move a society and a nation forward, not by trying to piss people off and hoping that more people will react. It’s been more than 40 years; how much longer will you continue to do this type of thing before you figure out that change doesn’t happen that way?
  
  Create a political will and we can have anything we want.
