Even if you are not a Coulter fan, you really should read it.  It is full of great information on how the education system is screwing up our kids.<\/p>\n<p>I am in full agreement with Coulter on this fact.  When I hear teachers say &#8220;I had to take a summer job to make ends meet.&#8221; I laughed.  Because she responded the way I do.  I say &#8220;most people work 49 to 50 weeks a year, why do you think you, as a teacher, deserve anything different?<\/p>\n<p>The last 4 chapters were quite an in depth view of Darwinism.  Having read The Origin of Species years ago and being one of those who tries to balance evolution with religion, I found her information on the lack of a fossil record to prove Darwin&#8217;s theory quite interesting.<\/p>\n<p>I must also say that the bad rap Coulter gets for slamming the 911 Widows is way overblown.  She does deal them a nasty hand of slams but backs up the slams quite well.  Similarly, she tosses Cindy Sheehan to the sharks and, as Sheehan has done, Coulter uses Sheehan&#8217;s son to do it.  Nice turnaround Ann!!<\/p>\n<p>All in all, it was a good read and I give it a solid 8 screws out of 10.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Mini Screw\" id=\"image233\" src=\"https:\/\/officiallyscrewed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/06\/screwedbookscore.jpg\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Mini Screw\" id=\"image233\" src=\"https:\/\/officiallyscrewed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/06\/screwedbookscore.jpg\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Mini Screw\" id=\"image233\" src=\"https:\/\/officiallyscrewed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/06\/screwedbookscore.jpg\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Mini Screw\" id=\"image233\" src=\"https:\/\/officiallyscrewed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/06\/screwedbookscore.jpg\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Mini Screw\" id=\"image233\" src=\"https:\/\/officiallyscrewed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/06\/screwedbookscore.jpg\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Mini Screw\" id=\"image233\" src=\"https:\/\/officiallyscrewed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/06\/screwedbookscore.jpg\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Mini Screw\" id=\"image233\" src=\"https:\/\/officiallyscrewed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/06\/screwedbookscore.jpg\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Mini Screw\" id=\"image233\" src=\"https:\/\/officiallyscrewed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/06\/screwedbookscore.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As many know, you need to take Ann Coulter with a bit of salt, but not too much.
