Means someone educated, and smart. In what planet do you live that "elitist" on the subject of EDUCATION is somehow a bad thing? Elitist, in the context, is biased towards intelligence. If you find this troubling, you're part of the problem. You know what “elitist” actually means, right? Means someone educated, and smart.

Let's please divide teachers' time even more and continue to make schools about everything BUT simple learning. After all, our education elitists are globalists, so why shouldn't the rest of us? It's all about being competitive in a GLOBAL marketplace, right? Never mind about skills we need here in America. Never mind that kids need good reading and math programs in the lower levels and great, civics and geography programs in the upper grades...Let kids become globalized AFTER the taxpayers are finished subsidizing them! Let's actually foster learning on the taxpayer dime! Great. Let’s please divide teachers’ time even more and continue to make schools about everything BUT simple learning.
