        There's a few in the replies, one of which insists science is a cult. Public schools need more funding.

        Science shows public schrools have been getting more funding and they are getting worse so cut funding.

        Schrool is a @rushlimbaugh pronouncing of the term 'school' to indicate how it's a cruel waste-of-time.

        That you agree with the opinions of someone as bigoted as Mr. Limbaugh speaks volumes.

        That you love the word 'bigoted' and are a schrool teacher only speaks a short obituary-like paragraph.

        I don't love the word "bigoted," but I do know the difference between quotation marks and apostrophes.
