Afterburner with Bill Whittle: Generations




This comment below was so startling, I thought I should post it here
So well said! I was an instructor at the Navy Test Pilot School, two tours in flight test, runner up for astronaut, and three engineering degrees, and flew 50 different aircraft, mostly fighters. When I tried to teach high school, I was told I was not qualified; that I would have to go back to school for two years, then 'intern' (work for free) for one before I could teach. Yet most of the local teachers couldn't even spell! I knew we were doomed then.

  2. Good Lord! Probably because you didn't fit their Marxist world view.
