There was a scandal in Pueblo, CO where the superintendent of a charter school was getting paid more than any public school superintendent in the country

Friendly reminder that charter schools only exist to operate for profit and eliminate their accountability to any form of educational standards they didn’t set for themselves, while also siphoning tax revenue generated by families to rob both homeowners and their children’s future en masse.

I'm all for transparency, but the end goal here is forcing charter schools on people who cannot afford charter schools

This, combined with abortion being made illegal, is all part of a larger effort to create a poorly educated and underfunded population that can be used as a permanent socioeconomic underclass to serve the wealthy that have stolen both their present and their future for their own personal gain.

My deep-red #MAGA Trump/McConnell voting county has posted this on the county school system's landing page. Yes, our public schools are really struggling--we homeschool--but this is dirty pool. These schools suck by design because MAGA wants them to suck. MAGA hates #publicschools & #education

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

The promotion of pseudoscience about a supposed “cause” or “cure” of autism and the destruction of special education (and all of public education, really) are part of the same project. It is a fascist attempt to expel certain people from the body politic, based in eugenics.

100% this. Everyone connected to this needs to be brought up on the sort of “saying you just followed orders ain’t gonna save you” charges that’ll stop people from signing up for this sort of shit ever again.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.
