We all know how important acronyms, memes and nicknames are in securing public notice and marketplace separation. But what’s with this national group of activist, anti-Common Core curriculum teachers, including some 1,200 in Florida, who call themselves “BATs?” That stands for Badass Teachers Association. Granted, there are legitimate issues over national standards and over-testing, but calling yourself “Badasses” doesn’t add credibility to a cause. Especially not in this obnoxiously polarized political environment.
Somebody with attitude took some badass advice.
