The Hypocrisy Of A Celebrity
Another liberal elite useful idiot, backs public schools, won’t enroll his own kids in one.
Actor Matt Damon is a strong supporter of America’s public schools. Just two years ago, the star spoke passionately about the importance of public schools at a Washington DC “Save our Schools” rally. In fact, the actor is so impressed with public school teachers that he has demanded they receive a pay raise. That passion and conviction, however, does not apply to Damon’s own children who willnot be enrolled into the Los Angeles public school system.
In an interview with the Guardian published Saturday, Damon revealed that he had just moved to Los Angeles from New York, but that he didn’t “have a choice” when it came to putting his four daughters into private schools. The multi-millionaire did say that it was “a major moral dilemma” and then made the bizarre excuse that the public schools aren’t “progressive” enough.
This would probably mark the first time anyone has ever complained that America’s public schools, especially in Los Angeles, aren’t left-wing enough.
The Guardian interview is part of the 42 year-old actors promotional tour for his upcoming sci-fi tentpole “Elysium,” which opens Friday.
According to early reviews, “Elysium” is a big-budget action film that condemns a future Los Angeles where the super-rich use their wealth and privilege to separate themselves and their families from the city’s poor.
Nice, that kind of movie should pull the country together…assholes.

Frankly, if I were “super-rich” I wouldn’t want to live in South LA or even the State of Californa for that matter.
Why would I want my family subjected to the savage culture of the Crips & Bloods when I could live comfortably elsewhere.
Show me one Liberal, progressive asshat Hollywood type that would even consider dwelling with or sending their kids to school with the “common folk”.
Obama’s girls go to an exclusive private school so I guess if you can afford it because you have the brain power to amass a huge amount of wealth that same brain power will tell you to talk the Liberal talk, but walk the Capitalist walk.
Toejam – Just surprising these celebrities have their collective fists in the air about something then do exactly the opposite when it confronts them personally. Why not just be filthy rich and keep your trap shut. Then you won’t be questioned when you do what normal super rich people do.
