What is the story about the PTA hatred?

[PBS Poll-435]

(Way, way lame copycat)

[taterguy]

1. It's a mindless game that promotes violence and other anti-social behavior

Oh wait, you said PTA, not GTA

Nevermind

[PVnRT]

2. Remember the X-Files episode where the PTA were devil worshippers?

My mom (an art teacher) found that hilarious.

3. 'cause they told my mama she was wearin' her dresses way too high.

She socked it to 'em, though...

4. Well, you gotta expect shit like that

from that buncha pious-assed hypocrites in Harper Valley.

5. yes but a good one

(I have issues) Some parents (one actually) decided to start a PTA in our school despite the fact that there was already a group that met not under official auspices. I attended their first meeting and asked what their goals were. I never got an answer but they wanted money up front for insurance right away. WTF? I think she went on her over-achieving way to become president (natch) and I think they sold popcorn in the hallways.

I don't get forming organizations for no reason.
