"Because everyone deserves an education to have a fighting chance against those who would take advantage of them. Because every person deserves the critical thinking skills that naturally follow reading and writing.
Every person deserves an education."

Sad to think statements like this used to be rejected before they were published.
What are they trying to do?
(Make a good boy of you)
And do they know where it's at?
Don't criticize, they're old and wise
Do as they tell you to
Don't want the devil to
Come and put out your eyes
We don't need no 'ought control.
No dark sarcasm in the 'lassro'm.
Hey! Teacher!
Leave 'em kids alone!"
not that ww, the other ww
I listen to these Congressional hearing and sometimes I want them to use a 'talking stick'. And when they speak out of turn beat them over the head with it.
After all, Trump has determined that polished pottery, or Pol Pot if you prefer, is the goal of this administration.

Good life her her, but not for anyone else.

Think arrested development.
Christian values?
Hypocrisy written all over her.
Baby born July 2024,
Married to a rich real estate developer Jan 2025.
He didn’t propose till after she was pregnant. This won’t last long…
She’s going to age like the president (a real one) by the time this is over
Sounds like we need more doctors and nurses than plumbers and electricians.
It's time to take our country back. Article V of the Constitution gives us that right.
Remember when America was a meritocracy and social mobility our defining characteristic?
😞
Critical thinking doesn’t serve power, it threatens it.
Today: "We can re-wire your entire house and get it up to code for $40,000. It will take about 6-8 weeks."
In 10 years: "We can re-wire your entire house and get it up to code for $300,000. It will take 3 days.
Obama, and a generational change of educational standards straight in America's face? Or
Putin, with, strangely, the same, and the help of Trump's "nepo children, the Republican movement"

‘Build Back Better Act: The free community college initiative was notably excluded from the Build Back Better Act in 2021.’
“The attack on public education is older than I am and the goal is to create workers who can be exploited. Workers who won’t ask questions or join unions or demand better conditions.”
“I was paying attention.
I was listening.
I believed you.
I did what you told me to do and I became who you told me to become
And that's why I've found myself standing here wondering how you've become someone I no longer recognize” (John Pavlovitz)
It's good to see that there are some people and Organizations that will face down the whiner in chief.
My POV on a couple points:
1) Leavitt isn't irrational; she's a propagandist, intentionally blurring things
2) If you view their words through the prism that the only thing that really matters is making money, their disdain for "general education" is rational (if pathetic)
Having plumbers and people with PhD’s is not mutually exclusive
I’m glad you got people who want to be a Plumber where you’re at
Young men where I live, I like to be beggar on the street
Now nobody can find me.
I’ve left my chair, my house, my road,
My town and my world behind me.
I opened a book and made some friends.
I shared their tears and laughter
And followed their road with its bumps and bends
To the happily ever after."
The gaslighting is making me dizzy, FFS.
Not nursing school, but vocational school (AC & refrigeration) & then years later I finished my BS in civil engineering at Kansas State.
I enjoyed Comp II when the assignment was analyzing symbolism in essays. Everyone has unique interests & we should all get to learn what we want.
