Salisbury News: Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. : An Ipad For Every Student
Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.) said he stood-by a proposal he made last week that could result in the federal government providing an Ipad for every student in the nation, despite a barrage of criticism he has suffered from the media in recent days.
"Let me be clear about a few things," Jackson said, brandishing both an Apple Ipad and an Amazon Kindle on the House floor. "These devices are revolutionizing our country-- and they will fundamentally alter how we will educate our children."

"fundamentally alter how we will educate our children"
I call bullshit, its a tool nothing more. Fundamental education only requires a teacher and ears to listen. If you have a failure for a teacher no iPad or other tool is going to change the outcome of the education the kid will get.

Why is there always money for war, but none for education?

Yeah, because it's full of assclowns who waste all their time with incoherent rants about iPads.

I was watching a TV show featuring a giant ball pit with a bunch of 8-year-olds yelling, "Are too! Are not!" Then I realized it was C-SPAN.

But they ARE creating new jobs...
...if you call the state of those welfare and handout-receiving serfs "jobs".
