“Big Education is probably going to be the most controversial one; teachers, professors, teachers unions. The ones who feel obligated to hit our children over the head with indoctrination are now going to be held accountable for the first time ever by new media.” ~ Andrew Breitbart
Publisher Andrew Breitbart is no stranger to controversy. Even when there isn’t a controversy, the media tend to keep him in their sights. So with the release of his new book, “Righteous Indignation: Excuse Me While I Save the World,” the media made sure to polish up their wrecking balls and sharpen their fangs.

The ones who feel obligated to hit our children over the head with indoctrination are now going to be held accountable for the first time ever by new media. It allows the exposure of the algebra teacher who rails against Sarah Palin for a half hour; let’s do a video expose.
