The local meteorologist just asked, with complete seriousness, whether kids still use number 2 pencils. He’s the only one in the studio without kids and they are not letting him get out of this one 😂

Also still 🤯 that we have districts starting today. It’s July y’all. Wtf.

NC GOP lawmakers have created a cesspool: A NC EDU proposal that didn’t make it to a CMTE as scheduled Wed has riled supporters of trad. PE. Originally, leg. on student searches was the primary issue contained in Sen Bill 90. This week, lawmakers made additions that'd empower parents & could impact whether a SB fires superintendents or docks their pay. Potential impacts on students & parents: access to libraries/ extracurricular activities/MH svs./books🚨 -: thecentersquare.com/north_caro

"Parents Defending Education (PDE) presents itself as 'a national grassroots organization working to reclaim our schools from activists imposing harmful agendas'—namely 'ideologically driven curriculum with a concerning and often divisive emphasis on students’ group identities: race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation and gender.' But the group took hundreds of thousands of dollars from dark money groups and funds associated with influential conservatives who advocate for the privatization of public education."

The reason there’s no pushback from the on is that they don’t believe in .

Every time it happen the perception increases that public school is unsafe. It increases the likelihood that will . And the GOP is all about shifting the of entirely on parents.

Each shooting is analogous to murdering education.

The kids are just collateral damage to their goal.

A bill that would allow teachers and faculty members in Kentucky’s public schools to share their religious beliefs freely has passed through committee and will head to the House for a full vote.
House Bill 547 follows a United States Supreme Court ruling, which was made after a high school football coach in the state of Washington was fired for insisting on prayer for his players. The state bill will allow for prayer and religious programs at school and school-sanctioned events.
“This is a piece of legislation that will hopefully embolden these Christian teachers, who are not ashamed of their faith, but sometimes out of fear do not say anything about their faith, or hold prayer groups with other teachers,” said HB 547 sponsor, Representative Chris Fugate (R-84).

It’s no surprise Asra (a plot oval operative listed in the previous article 👆🏽) was getting paid by Parents Defending Education as their VP of “Strategy” and is now paid by the International Womens Forum to stir up trouble as a “concerned mom” who isn’t even a current VA parent.

It’s all a grift!

None of the bots/burners set up to harass me can dispute 20 years of research say :

❌ fund 💲 kids mostly in private school already
❌ cause huge academic 📉
❌ discriminate against vulnerable children.

But:
✅ funding has generational pay-off

The guy who co-authored Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s “parental rights” bill was just indicted for fraud, which is fitting given that they have defrauded the public w/ this Christo-fascist “parental rights” scam to destroy public schools. The “parental rights” slogan comes from proponents of private Christian schools & homeschooling—religious zealots who want to dismantle public education to create a Christian “Joshua generation.” salon.com/2022/01/12/parental-
