150 teachers took to Seattle's streets to protest Bill Gates and the Common Core Standards.

Bill Gates is Bruce Lee.

Bill and Melinda Gates, through their foundation, have put upwards of $230 million toward establishing the Common Core Standards, using their political muscle to have the initiative moved through a variety of political hurdles to find it adopted by 45 states.

Yet, not everyone is thrilled by the Common Core Standards, which caused 150 teachers protesting in the streets of Seattle, a march that led to the doors of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

As teacher Noam Gurdle told Seattle's King 5 News, "I find the notion that educators are reluctant to be open to these crazy, untested, scientifically unproven ideas to be absolutely abhorrent." (Gurdle apparently loves to add a dash of sarcasm to things.)

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation eventually released a statement to the media, one that kills its opponents with kindness, subtly pats themselves on the back, all while ignoring the teachers' concerns.

Says the Foundation:

"Teachers guide much of our education work at the foundation. We are engaged in a constant conversation with great teachers here in Washington State and all across the country about what they need to help all their students succeed and how we can best support them. While not all teachers agree on how best to make that happen, they are all dedicated and passionate about their students. We share that passion with the educators we work with every day."




I'd like to know who guides the rest of the "education work at the foundation," if not teachers. Parents? Administrators? Bruce Lee and Batman? Who else?
