Schools are being transformed from a public service into a private profit center.
This isn’t just a “the right ruins everything” problem. It’s happening in Washington State and New York and DC as quickly as anywhere else.
Look up Obama backed Michelle Rhee Chancellor of District of Columbia Public Schools from 2007 to 2010. She fired loads of teachers, imposed an onorous standardized testing regime, and then committed a ton of fraud to fake improvement in classes that had been wrecked by her tenure.
Hugely hyped by the Gates Foundation, which has been angling to privatized education for over a decade. Her regime was then replicated all across the Gulf Coast as Republicans latched on to her originally “liberal” ideas of school reform.
It’s not just the far right who do it on purpose. Like with society in general, it’s also the center right to right wing Neoliberals who don’t do enough to stop them. Though THAT might be on purpose too, depending on which owner donors the specific candidates are beholden to.
Just recently learned that republican congressmen and women, and more than likely democracts all have an AIPAC handler who whispers into their ears. If a foreign entity is pulling the strings of our elected officials, consider this country hijacked.
Yes to both.
With the caveat that, in most elections, there’s no option that doesn’t either overemphasize STEM or doesn’t mention schools at all.
Just like very few Americans have the opportunity to vote for a senator or congressperson who’s not an unconditional Zionist.
It’s not failing if it’s on purpose. The right has been trying to strangle public schools for decades
