PREDICTION: Shadrack McGill, Alabama State Senator, Says Keeping Teacher Pay Low "A Biblical Princip

Subject: Origin of Shadrack
There's that Teaching Theme in the news. I showed Rebecca that clip from "Bad Teacher" and was pointing out all those redheads in the movie like her. She's from Alabama, and Front Page News says that an Alabama State Senator was making a comment about teacher's pay :D
-----------------
On a side note, did you know there's a 1930s song "Shadrack" by ROBERTs MacGimsey. It was performed by Louis Armstrong born 8/4 like Barack Obama. I told Rebecca yesterday that if you take Barack born 8/4 and subtract his wife Michelle born 1/17, you get 7/-13 or 7/13 when ALABAMA rejoined the U.S. after the Civil War. I said that (O)bama = (ALA)bama. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadrack_%28Robert_MacGimsey_song%29
I'd also point out that Louis Armstrong died on 7/6, which is President George W. Bush's birthday. He defeated AL Gore in the 2000 Presidential Election. That AL looks a lot like the postal abbreviation for Alabama. Technically, AL Gore should've won Florida and the Presidential Election, but Fox News announced ahead of everyone that Bush won even though Gore actually won the State of Florida. So history changed or was altered. Some even think that if Gore had been elected, the U.S. would not have invaded Iraq and gone after Saddam Hussein born 4/28 (like Raci Staci) and when Maryland became a State. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W._Bush
I'm researching the origin of the name Shadrack. It looks like the religious roots are tied to Shadrach as one of the 3 that disobeyed King Nebuchadnezzar II believing that God's Higher Law overrules other laws. Martin Luther King, Jr. referenced this in his Letter from the Birmingham Jail on 4/16 of 1963. Our current Pope Benedict XVI is born 4/16. Shadrack McGill most likely was named by his parents who sound religious and could be the reason why he made a comment like that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_from_Birmingham_Jail

Shadrack McGill, Alabama State Senator, Says Keeping Teacher Pay Low "A Biblical Principle"

Someone alert the unions: raising teacher pay will actually make for worse teachers--according to one GOP lawmaker.
Alabama state Sen. Shadrack McGill said that increasing teacher pay is against "a biblical principle" because it might attract people who otherwise wouldn't do the job.
"Teachers need to make the money that they need to make," McGill said, according to the Times-Journal. "If you double a teacher's pay scale, you'll attract people who aren't called to teach ... and these teachers that are called to teach, regardless of the pay scale, they would teach. It's just in them to do. It's the ability that God give 'em."
McGill's comments came at a prayer breakfast this week in Fort Payne, Ala. State legislators are currently weighing raising teacher pay. One GOP leader proposed raising salaries of newer teachers by 2.5 percent, but critics argue that it isn't fair to longer-serving educators, according to the Montgomery Advertiser.
A recent report might justify critics' worries, showing that Alabama is actually leading the nation in starting teacher salaries, while lagging behind in average teacher pay, the Dothan Eagle reports.
The national average starting salary for a teacher is $39,000. New York Times columnist Nick Kristof has argued that paying teachers more would help attract better people to the profession, and U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan has repeatedly vocalized his assertion that teachers should have salaries starting at $60,000 and the opportunity to make up to $150,000 based on performance.
