2. I think he does it to illustrate
That those liberal public schools don't educate children, therefore they can't even pronounce "school" correctly.

Of course he'd never mention that its because of Republicans slashing every dollar from education that kids are still using textbooks from the Eisenhower administration.

You could also make the argument he's doing one of his vauge racist comments, like using "ax" for "ask".

11. you kinda got it down
I know you are speaking figurtively but you are mostly right on the textbooks I speak from experience. Now the history text is fairly new but my brother used the same history text I did and it was old when I used it. My brother was in 6th grade last year and I was in 10th same goes for the state history book in 4th grade. Hey Rush get a life,

6. Think "screw-el."
He thinks its because our educational system is screwing our children.

And, because he's an ass.

7. It's a racist jab
He's mocking an African American in the Clinton administration who didn't pronounce school the way most white folks do.

Just showing off his bigoted self.

8. Same reason schedule is pronounced
Sed-u-al, British-like. I think he loves to hear his own voice, but at times gets bored with it and gets something in his head and goes with it. And, since he can make up the rules and facts as he goes along it great fun for him to invent his own little Rush-speak.

9. His syphilis induced deafness most likely to blame
If he can't hear his own speech then he has no way to correct his pronounciation errors.
