Those who foisted unproven and […]

Always comical for @BetsyDeVos trolls whining that teachers contribute to us.

Aren’t privatizer billions enough for them?

We will block vouchers again with the powerful teacher/preacher dynamic duo!

Thank you @TexasAFT @OfficialATPE @UEATexas @txstateteachers @texascta! #txed

As MN seems about to adopt a drill and kill phonics fundamentalist literacy curriculum it's worth examining that now “There’s a whole generation of kids who associate reading with assessment" and have come to hate it https://www.theatlantic.com/books/archive/2023/03/children-reading-books-english-middle-grade/673457/

The privatize-schools crowd talks about #parents rights while pushing 3rd grade retention laws taking that decision away from parents and #teachers.

Don’t ever mistake attacks on #publiceducation for #parents rights.

I’m glad our #migov #mileg know the difference. https://twitter.com/SenPolehanki/status/1639328314966802447

Congratulations on your decision to run for public office. We need more women- especially in the Senate of Virginia! https://twitter.com/lvstodance/status/1638883713684520964

@SenLouiseLucas @vademocrats I have filed to run against Senator Obenshain. Long odds, but folks should have a choice. He shouldn't run unopposed.
