6. "Teachers who hit kids" is the new...

"6 months to get a hip replacement" and is to the education debate what that trope was to the healthcare discussion.

No matter how many facts or whatever you throw at someone, when they resort to the example of schools "being able to fire a teacher who hits kids" you know that they have no fucking idea what they are talking about. Same thing with people who busted out the "hip surgery" stupidity. It's a talking point, based off of a miniscule, minute percentage of cases, trumped up to be the epitome of the problem.
