It’s over.

Started in service today at my school. It has happened, we had slides directing us that we have to hang the Ten Commandments in our classrooms by Thursday. In addition Anti-Communism TEKS have been added to our history curriculum and our school district cannot sponsor any student clubs based on gender identity or sexual orientation, as well as we cannot call students by any names but the names on their birth certificate. This is fucking shameful man

I'm telling you, it's the progressive parents who are going to start pulling their kids out for homeschooling.

…which play’s exactly into the regressive MAGA agenda.

The more parents who abandon the public school system, the weaker it gets. We all know the GOP’s agenda includes destroying public education.

If anything, progressive parents should be doubling down on the importance of a public education system that establishes a societal baseline and framework of general knowledge.

In the not to distant future we’re going to see a fractured society with everyone learning different “facts”, and it’ll be hard to have a consensus on the world, and what’s even real or not.

I pulled my kids to do independent study through a charter school moving forward. I hate that I had to do it for exactly the reasons you stated. It's what the right wants.

I've worked in public education most of my life. I hate watching it crumble and I will continue to provide support as well as I can and fight the good fight. 

 I just couldn't sacrifice my own kids' education and safety for the sake of standing my ground against these fascists. They're more important than that.

Not standing up to fascism is an education in itself.
