Why can't Johnny read? Because some "teachers" would rather kick back and show an R-rated movie to shove left-wing propaganda down Johnny's throat.
The latest educrat to be caught forcing pupils to watch the Bush-hating fantasy film "Fahrenheit 9/11": Suzanne Miller of Central High School in Knoxville, Tenn.

And what is her punishment? She is now getting a paycheck for doing nothing, after being put on paid "administrative leave."
Knoxville's government school monopoly requires that "under no circumstance" may R-rated movies be screened. After an "investigation" is completed, Miss Miller might receive no punishment at all but might be fired, the Knoxville News Sentinel reported.
The school's principal, Jon Miller, who is not related to Miss Miller, said he was "stunned" when he found out what she had done.
Cindy Stewart, a parent who blew the whistle on Miss Miller, said she was especially upset that parents had received no notification and were not asked to give permission.
"It was an R-rated movie. Absolutely we don't condone that," Mrs. Stewart told the newspaper. "I mean, I'm not crazy about the politics of it."
No word on whether educrats at that or any other government school will show "Stolen Honor," but take a wild guess.
