When Johnny Can’t Read or Write No More

When Johnny Can’t Read or Write No More
(To the tune of When Johnny Comes Marching Home)

Huck.Konopacki Labor Cartoons

When Johnny can’t read or write no more 
Hurrah! Hurrah!       
We’ll send him to Iraq once more
Hurrah! Hurrah!
He’ll be useless as a wage slave
Or wind up in an early grave
When we attack our public ed-u-ca-tion

When Johnny can’t think or problem-solve
Hurrah! Hurrah!
He’ll end up with a lousy job
Huck.Konopacki Labor Cartoons
Hurrah! Hurrah!
He’ll be overworked and underpaid
Or scraping by on government aid
When we attack our public ed-u-ca-tion

But, if teachers are allowed to teach
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Free from tests and corporate reach
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The kids will grow, they’ll learn and strive
Their future is better when they’re alive
When we support our public ed-u-ca-tion


Thanks to EdNotes Online for inspiring me with their reposting of the Cathy Black Attack parody
