This is exactly why I’m currently teaching my 6th grade art classes about propaganda and using art for advocacy. Teaching in the Deep South with a bunch of evangelicals means I need to tread lightly, but giving them the ability to see propaganda for what it is matters

As an art teacher working in a rural district at a Title 1 school, this terrifies me. SC’s state superintendent isn’t even a former teacher, just a “concerned” parent- so why would I want control of the education money back to the state? So they can push private schools with zero accountability?
