Brother - I am sure that you can see the faceitiousness in the questions
made by Bro. Bassett.  No one is mocking caring sensitive committed
teachers.  We are mocking the Goals 2000 program which is humanistic,
socialistic and against Biblical principles.  Mr. Dole said it well
during his acceptance speech.  Paraphrasing it was something like this:
"I am not against teachers but against the teacher's unions who's views
do not even represent the majority of teachers.  Lighten up a little and
accept the attempt at satirical comment.
