Why Johnny Can't Read

If you read blogs or other internet forums or you listen to people being interviewed on news programs, you're probably aware that there are serious deficiencies in our educational system. The politicians and teachers unions always come up with the same answer -- more money.

Well, here's what that money will go for in Wisconsin. The teachers union has asked a judge to order the school board in Madison to include coverage for Viagra in its health care plan. They say that excluding Viagra is discriminatory against men. They say that Viagra is a "necessary treatment." The school board says that Viagra is not necessary as it is used primarily for "recreational sex." I have news for all those men with ED -- sex isn't a have-to thing. You can live without it! And if you don't think you can, pay for your own Viagra.

So maybe that's why Johnny can't read -- instead of doing lesson plans, all the teachers are out having recreational sex -- or at least thinking about it.
