Interesting. <br /><br />Read a little about Lippmann on Wikipedia, yup, he was a great proponent of managing the low-foes.<br /><br />The CCR (Christy Christian Right) have got the game down to a science (having their own in-house and outhouse "Committee on Public Information").<br /><br />Sang-Froid Fassbender presents as a steely-eyed defender of the taxpayers interests. Iker, as a weak, reactionary neophyte, who neglects to put the crisis in BC public education into context. <br /><br />Progressives and especially,their representatives, must get up to warp-Lippmann-speed, using every media platform to shape the issues in our favour and expose the mercenary CCR's soulless husk. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-84969181687008799232014-06-24T22:39:20.270-07:002014-06-24T22:39:20.270-07:00SH--

Low-info British Columbians have swallowed Chr...SH<br /><br />Low-info British Columbians have swallowed Christy's talking points without choking.<br /><br />What emerged, and has been nourished by the pro-media, is the meme of the "irrational" demands of out of touch, entitled teachers within the context of a province with thousands of non-union, under-compensated plebes. As "stenographer" Bill Good, likes to point out, there are lots of graduate teachers to fill their jobs, market forces and all...<br /><br />Yet again, Christy appealed to the lowest common denominator and won. <br /><br />Iker is too laid back, he should have gone hard and raised questions about Christy's history of profligate spending on wrong priorities.<br /><br />The time has come for Iker to bow out gracefully, as Vince Ready effectively has. A new leader can re-message from the "moral" high-ground. <br /><br />The teachers can regain "credibility" with the low-foes, by tactically withdrawing from this battle in the "interest" of the children, all the while keeping their focus on the long game. <br /><br />Teachers do us all a favour, and resurrect the "Apple Campaign" if it results in anything close to the Golden Age of Davey you will forever be the champions of British Columbia. <br /><br /> <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
