How any person can be in a position of educational oversight and make a teachers job more difficult than it already is, does not care about the student body it serves.

Omissions of the very purpose of Twains writings, to create dialogue about views and relationships, is utterly undemocratic.

It’s probably the publishing company behind the changes. What better way to “have to” reprint them all! It’s always a grift.

History will not remember these people as the good guys.

Depends on who writes the histories.

Why are these people so afraid of truth??🤔

Authoritarians are always enemies of facts because facts usually punch holes in the rhetoric that empowers them.

TX and FL used to talk about seceding from the us. We are still waiting...

Red states doubling down on racism and misogyny. The handmaid's tale is actually a documentary.

Texas and Florida in a race to see which state can be the most despicable.

Their gerrymandered & corrupt leadership, yes.

They are preparing for a Holocaust.

I keep asking that same question

This is an opportunity for grassroots communities to come together with plays, songs, community gardens, etc around history and culture. We need multi generational wisdom and youthful strength to come together now more than ever.

This is wrong and they know it!

At this point, many of these states are at generations of education decline. Parents don’t know what students aren’t learning because they themselves weren’t taught it.

They are fooling themselves. Their kids will learn these things the same way I did, on the streets.

This is my school district. We have fought these assholes for years now.

Also have tons of PIR documents requested as a citizen using the Texas Open Meetings Act showing much worse 😡.

Watch out for Natalie Blasingame - she has higher political aspirations - she’s a hateful, vengeful cunt.

sjworrier.bsky.social•3 days ago

If I was a young person or a parent in Texas, I would be asking what the state is hiding from me. What is the state afraid I’ll learn? What information does Texas think is too dangerous for its citizens to even have the chance to read?
And I would want to read that stuff.

Dolores Umbridge would be proud.
