Valerie Strauss reviews the flap-flap over Bill Gates’ conclusion that poor people should raise chickens. She wonders what teachers would say to Gates if they had the chance, having suffered through his disastrous education theories and experiments for nearly 15 years.
The best line in her post is this one:
Some critics said the program was a publicity stunt and wouldn’t solve the underlying problems of poverty in Africa. “Our father, Who art Uncle Bill, Hallowed be thy whims …” Nigerian satirist and author Elnathan John wrote on Twitter.

However, it is obvious that Bill Gates would have preferred satire written this way: “Our Father, Who art Uncle Bill, Hallowed be Thy whims …”

Uncle Bill’s Chicken… How awkward. How humiliating. Look what you’ve done, Bill. We really have egg on our faces now. This is almost as bad as when you tried to replace the Civil Rights Movement with test scores. For finger-licking goodness, William Gates III, you need to stop. Stop. And you must take a sensitivity class. You need to learn some social skills, sir. You leave no choice but to assign you detention until you gain your manners.

In washingtonpost Gates said he partnered with Heifer International to donate more than 100,000 chickens in various countries, but not everybody was thrilled with the donation. In fact, one government minister was outright offended. http://www.projectsatbangalore.com
