John Kerry joins the staff of Yale U to teach diplomacy.
As a WE reporter quipped, asking Kerry to teach diplomacy is like asking Bill Clinton to teach ethics.

After reciting the litany of world disorder occurring during his term as Sec of State, she asked what insights he could possibly pass on to students.
What not to do?

Well if you learn by your mistakes......

Be careful about this a comment as it will come back to bite you.  Russia is expanding and threatening and the new SecState has major ties to Russia.

Mmm ... not an unusual move at all for an American at that level of government. Why post this nonsense?

Litany of world disorder? With the exception of Clinton's first term, Obama's second term was the most quiet chapter in recent US history. Just think: no US wars.

With the exception of Syria and all its problems, and the Ukraine, the world is comparatively peaceful. Europe and the US are on a program of stable economic growth.

This is the "chaos" Trump has inherited.

Those that can't teach become education bureaucrats.

Imagine an Education Secretary that knows NOTHING about schools...

Then again, imagine a President that knows nothing about being PResident.

Happens all the time. The bureaucrats decide how much time will be spent on what subjects. How much for the 3 R's, how much for gender diversification studies.

What does Trump have to do with Kerry joining Yale? You are getting increasingly paranoid. Everything, according to you, revolves around Trump. ;)

What? The fact he is closing the EPA? Oh that was false.

AGW is Trump's fault? Nah.

Oroville Dam is Trump's fault? Nah.

You sound so ridiculous. :D :D :D :D :D :D

Nice try at deflection... you still NEVER criticise Trump.

Also, he put the clown in charge of the EPA that has taken court action against EPA numerous times and who is totally in the pocket of the oil and gas industry.

But no, you'd never criticise that. you never criticise ANYTHING about Trump.

Why would I criticise Trump in a thread in which he is not a player?

It just shows it is NOT all about Trump.

Why should I go off topic for you?

You cant and probably never will do it. It is a bit of an indictment on you. After all he appoints an ANTI-ENVIRONMENT person to the EPA, a person with zero experience with schools into Education. And it goes on....

Really? Because he stood up for his State's rights?

You mean like in Australia? Julia Gillard, Simon Crean? :D :D :D :D :D
