An excellent op-ed by #ArneDuncan and #DavidPressman: "Universities are sending #Trump a dangerous message."

Yet it's not only the 🔴💀🔴 GOP. #ArneDuncan / #Obama 🔵🐀🔵 pissed on us (I taught for 30 years +) for 8 years enforcing #TestAndPunish. And #Biden broke his campaign promise on #StandardizedChildAbuse. #CorporateDemocrats are to blame for this state of affairs as well.
#StandardizedChildAbuse
- from 2014 yet #ArneDuncan 🔵🐀🔵 & #Obama & #Biden were as fucked as 🔴💀🔴 45/47 on this. #edusky
"Teachers are compelled to teach to the test, which stunts the mind...as opposed to the wealth of knowledge that could be, but cannot...thanks to continuous testing & test prep."
Sorry. The #EducationDepartment lost its legitimacy under the outrageous ignorance & perfidy of #Obama 's #K-12 hatchet man #ArneDuncan via the #bipartisan 💀🔵🔴💀 #NCLB 's #StandardizedChildAbuse / #StandardizedTeacherAbuse. I taught through those times & witnessed the destruction 1st hand. 🤬 #edusky
And instead - post the original 🤮 BIPARTISAN #NCLB in the early 2000s - we got #CorporateEducation deform via #TestAndPunish #StandardizedChildAbuse. The #DOE enforced this through economic blackmail. 1 of the villains in this was #Obama 's #ArneDuncan.
30+ year #teacher here (retired). #Edusky
The #Obama administration: 2009 to 2017.
In 2009, about 13.4% of #undergraduate students majored in education.
In 2016, about 10.4% of undergraduate students majored in education.
🔥Obama via #neoliberal hatchet-man
#ArneDuncan contributed BIGLY to teaching's destruction & #deprofessionalization.
#ArneDuncan so threatened states that pushed back against #standardizedtesting.
#Edusky
🔥🇺🇸🔥 This of course takes 🤑 to a whole new level. #protests #colleges
🔥🇺🇸🔥 #FelonRapistTrump is
COUNTING on this decree to provoke #violence so that he can roll out #martiallaw on his way to a #militarycoup.
The #DOE also holds states 🤑 hostage by making sure that they administer #StandardizedChildAbuse aka #StandardizedTesting each spring.
#ArneDuncan 😳 was the most aggressive enforcer of this under 🔵 #Obama.
The great potential of #IEPs & #specialeducation were destroyed by #NCLB & #ESSA. #Edusky

I loathed the Obama admin as well, especially for #ArneDuncan and yes, for the awful #ACA.
I strongly disagree with you re: Biden, however, for two main reasons: 1. #MerrickGarland 2. running for a second term given his age & unpopularity then having to be forced out which gave Harris/Walz 0 time.
This walkout should have been done during 🔵🐀🔵 the #ArneDuncan years. #CorporateDemocrats have been little to no better for teachers & students than 🛑💀🛑.

“One former Secretary of U.S. Department of Education compares Trump’s promise to get rid of the department to his ‘saying he’s going to build a wall and get Mexico to pay for it, which is stuff he says.’” bit.ly/3PIHICT #DeptofEducation, #TrumpAgenda, #LindaMcMahon, #MargaretSpelling, #ArneDuncan
Agreed. However, the very worst SOE ever was #ArneDuncan. Obama's minion was the relentless force behind 💀 #StandardizedChildAbuse 💀 for nearly 8 tortuous years. I taught through all of them. #edusky #Edusky

The Dept. of Ed. under 🔵 #ArneDuncan (over almost 8 awful years) was the main enforcer of the anti-education, 🔴🔵 bi-partisan #NCLB. 🤬 I lived it. Axing the #DOE itself would mean nothing to me. The loss of federally-mandated (but only partially funded) #specialeducation as a whole does.
The fucking #DOE was instrumental in destroying American education and turning it into Test-Test-Retest-Retest-Punish. I saw this happen first hand in my 30 year teaching career. Obama's scumbag #ArneDuncan was particularly putrid. #FuckTheDOE #StandardizedChildAbuse #StandardizedTeacherAbuse
