@davidho Maybe we should reform #PublicEducation so that we don’t have a country half-full of morons that vote for sociopaths?

Myself, as a young teacher during the Bicentennial. I'm glad I didn't know then how rife with homophobia and bigotry public education is. 1976. #publiceducation #bigotry #homophobia #racism #sexism #xenophobia #institutionalizedbigotry #humanist #humanists #education
A true #enlightened #man knows the benefits of #intellectualism, #romanticism & #socialism by way of mere inference.
Power in numbers cannot be understated, as it is the foundation of #democracy. #PublicEducation cannot be underrated, as it is the foundation of the #sciences. #Culture & #Congregation is there to fulfill basic needs that all humans have. Take away this and the man never grows.
The #manchild is merely a result of the environment being incapable of raising a boy to become a man

Dr. Gary Nixon was a respected leader and a fighter for high-quality public #education in #Tennessee. He will be missed, especially during this time when clownish #USpol ‘leaders’ “love the poorly educated.” https://www.dnj.com/obituaries/pokr1145866
@baardhaveland this is why the elite of the #US has been attacking and defunding public education in the #US - because people who lack education are easy to manipulate.
This is also why #PublicEducation is a must, a mandatory facet of a #democratic society.
A quotation from James Madison
Learned Institutions ought to be favorite objects with every free people. They throw that light over the public mind which is the best security against crafty & dangerous encroachments on the public liberty.
James Madison (1751-1836) American statesman, political theorist, US President (1809-17)
Letter (1822-08-04) to William T. Barry

Protecting Public Education: Combating Christian Nationalism and Defending Religious Freedom

In a memo sent to top #PublicEducation ofcls across the country, the #Education Dept said that #funding for schools w/high percentages of #LowIncome #students, known as #TitleI funding, was at risk pending compliance w/the #Trump admin’s directive.
The memo included a *certification* letter that state & local #school ofcls must sign & return within 10 days, even as the admin has struggled to define which programs would violate its *interpretation* of #CivilRights laws.
What do people think of a lecture series on how government works? Does anyone know of any groups doing this? I live in a very red, small town, rural area and would like to make it as politically neutral as possible. But it feels like a good chunk of the populace has no idea how government works, how to contact your congressionals, etc. Please contact me with any resources or ideas, thanks!

"Public schools have always been the epicenter of the right-wing culture war since the Supreme Court ruled segregation was unconstitutional in Brown v. Board of Education. Abortion, feminism, and LGBTQ+ rights were eventually added to the never-ending list of right-wing grievances."

#GOPMAGA wants to send the power of public education back to the states. Yeah, so segregation, neo-evangelical white nationalism, religious school vouchers can be installed with those taxpayer dollars.
OK, people, because clearly this needs clarifying:
The Big Blue Book is a WORKBOOK. You don't just read it, you use it to work on making yourself a better person.
1984 is NOT a workbook. You are not supposed to be using quotes from the most famous anti-fascist screed in history to bolster your case for interring innocent people in super-max prisons in some third-party country.
FFS I learned this in 6th grade. #PublicEducation people, it's value for dollar.
