Agree. But possibly, even an accomplished man of color running as a Dem may need the "Christian" handle to attract voters in Mississippi.
I'm hoping his position paper on key issues is available soon, in particular #PublicEd, healthcare, foreign policy & WOMEN! @trumpstaxes.com
Happening now: #union leaders urge #CTGeneralAssembly's budget-writing cmte boost investments in #paraprofessionals to assure all students & families can access vital #PublicEd services & supports. #FixTheFormula @aft.org @psrp-aft.bsky.social @afthighered.bsky.social @aaup.org @ctforall.bsky.social
Bush II helped kill them. His ridiculously unfair No Child Left Behind (NCLB) mandated-testing took precious time away from curriculum options in #PublicEd to prep & going forward.
Public schools/districts not meeting standards would lose funding.
*GWBush would NEVER have met the standards to pass!
Ohio's EdChoice voucher program is a scam. It siphons desperately needed funds from public schools & funnels them to unaccountable private schools that can reject students.
Prioritize ALL Ohio kids in public ed! #StopVouchers #FundOurSchools #PublicEd
1/5 🇨🇦 ALBERTA REVIVES FAILED P3 SCHOOL MODEL 🇨🇦
Despite abandoning the scheme twice before, the #UCP will again use public-private partnerships.
Critics warn taxpayers will pay much more in the long run.

Whether you have kids still in #PublicEd school or not, please pay attention/participate in your local school board & county/state Depts of Ed.
Changes in our Archivist will eventually impact curriculum & textbook choices.
Their goal is to erase & rewrite our history.
It CAN happen here. ⬇️

Agree. As a retired proud #PublicEd high school teacher, I can tell you some of my colleagues were VERY stressed during shooter drills.
(Also my big macho athletes that all 5'1" of me was expected to protect in those darkened locked classrooms)
THE FEAR IS REAL.
Worse now than ever for millions.

Agree. That's pretty common even in Blue states.
(Trust me. I know!)
But the FED govt dismantling #PublicEd by defunding it unless religion is allowed in schools-from daily prayer thru complete biblical integration into the curriculum is the threat we're facing.
IMO, all of your concerns are valid.
The Republican Party disagrees with both of us.
They do seek to redesign " #PublicEd " in their own image :
One Party-One belief system-One religion-One culture-One leader ...
Totalitarianism.
State by state, the Republican Party is trying to turn public schools into THEIR idea of religious schools.
They consider #PublicEd unconstitutional & a threat to their vision of America.

Quote from Einstein on the constitution. “The strength of the Constitution lies entirely in the determination of each citizen to defend it. Only if every single citizen feels duty bound to do his share in this defense are the constitutional rights secure.”

L’administration Trump accélère le démantèlement du Department of Education.
Une stratégie connue : assécher, déclarer “inefficace”, puis privatiser.
Soutien total aux collègues US.
Défendons l’école publique. ✊📚
