School Choice - It's Time

Americans spend their first 18 years falling behind the rest of the world. It doesn't have to be like that.
 
No it doesn't. But it won't get solved with meaningless slogans
School choice has no more boots on the ground meaning than Make America Great Again.

Pick an n educational model to discuss rather than
the examples we've seen here

Like I said, if it involves privatizing education count me con

Ten Republican Georgia state senators have signed onto a new bill that would prohibit the teaching of controversial race and gender subjects in schools. The twist, in this case, is that the senators are specifically targeting private schools, not public schools, and attempting to forcefully control what they're permitted to teach children regardless of parents' wishes.

This is not what it means to support "school choice" and "parents' rights," senators.

Greta Callahan, head of the Minneapolis teachers' union, says the district told them this morning that they had no offers. Says she's been doxxed but fight is all of them: "Our fight is against patriarchy, our fight is against capitalism, our fight is for the soul of our city."

Mr. Murphy is said to have presidential ambitions, and he doesn’t want to anger the powerful teachers unions that spent more than any other interest group to back his gubernatorial campaigns.

This explains Mr. Murphy’s appalling decision last month to block the expansion of New Jersey’s best-performing charter schools, including North Star Academy and Philips Academy, even while thousands of families wallow on waiting lists. A majority of residents in struggling cities like Newark and Camden are lower-income blacks and Hispanics, and high-quality public schools are a lifeline. Anyone yapping about equity while denying underprivileged minorities access to better schools deserves to be ignored.

Wasn't Murphy the guy who decided the bill of rights was cancelled, and when asked what authority he has to do that, responded with "that's above my pay grade"

We need to talk about what’s really behind this manufactured hysteria over

“CRT” & teacher “groomers”: they want to dismantle public education as a

part of their long struggle against school integration.

This is all a part of their white supremacist goals.

Take some time to bone up on the history of School Choice.
As in before it first crossed your radar.

If course ~ 81%~ of minority parents want their kids in schools where the teachers are paid a living wage and afforded school supplies.
Knock me over with a flower.

I agree, but this should show all who are interested that neither party can truly be trusted without constant vigilance.
