Far-Right Candidates Are Trying To Take Over Public Schools Across The Country

[Lesh]

Vouchers are never enough to fund an education.

They make it cheaper for people already PAYING for a private school but they never cover what it actually costs

 

[Billiejeens]

The infra structure has been paid for. By US

INCLUDING education of the teachers

That's not true, of course.

 

[candycorn]

That has to be satire...right?

Not at all. In a few years we’ll hear a story about how the OK school boards are approving Text Books that say Trump won the 2020 election, how the earth is 4,000 years old, and Alabama is on the Eastern Seaboard.

Just watch.

"Competent officials" who are overseeing the continued decline of American educational achievements. It's truly embarrassing that we spend far more per pupil than the rest of the world and are constantly outperformed by them. Let's give the far right's emphasis on the basics of learning a chance to succeed.

I guarantee you that we’ll have the best HS football talent ever. And the world’s greatest ditch diggers. That’ll be something to hang our hats on.

I am sure that you believe that post to be clever.
It is really just massive ignorance regarding the country and its people.

A lot of the country is massively ignornat. Of which you’re in that population.

And if you allow the right to run the schools, they'll be able to read, write and do arithmetic. What a great deal. As it is now, we have students entering college who can't finish books. When someone is failing, get someone else to do the job. That's why Kamala (what have I been doing for 4 years?) Harris is the democrat nominee, the party thought she wouldn't mess it up worse than Quid Pro Joe would.

That is not a resounding endorsement of the left running the education system.

Consequential school board races in North Carolina, Maryland and other states could change the education system as we know it.​

Over the last few years, elections for public education officials have gone from overlooked and low-profile to heated and politicized affairs, a shift that’s due in large part to conservatives increasingly eyeing schools as places where they can wield significant influence and enact a specific agenda.

Moms for Liberty, a far-right group that popped up in Florida during the COVID pandemic and has since campaigned nationwide for a variety of conservative causes, is a significant driver of this shift. The so-called “parental rights” organization has thrown its support behind school board candidates across the country who have gone on to ban books, pass policies that hurt LGBTQ+ kids, and limit what teachers can do and say in their classrooms.

In 2022, more than half of the candidates endorsed by Moms for Liberty won their races, with those in Florida seeing particular success. But the following year, the group’s high-profile attempts in Pennsylvania were largely a dud.

This year, the group said it has identified 77 candidates for endorsements but has not publicly released the list.

“We continue to strive to have all voters across the country engage in their local school board elections and get to know the candidates because we know that change happens at the local level,” Moms for Liberty co-founders Tiffany Justice and Tina Descovich said in an emailed statement to HuffPost. “We have seen an incredible win rate the past two years that shows the power of our grassroots organization and we are excited to see that same kind of win rate this year.”

But even as the group keeps a lower public profile than it has during previous elections, its impact is clear. Across the country, far-right extremists are looking to get on school boards and reshape public schooling.
The blueprint for a right-wing, Moms for Liberty-style candidate has been made, and conservatives are following it. These candidates typically rail against “critical race theory,” a college-level academic framework for understanding structural racism that has been co-opted by conservatives to mean talking about race at all and making white people feel uncomfortable. They falsely claim books about gender or sexual identity are inherently pornographic. They may smear teachers as groomers, and make sure transgender children are targeted and ostracized at school.

Parental rights and fighting to keep trans kids from playing sports are now Republican talking points at all levels of government.

“The work of Moms for Liberty hasn’t been as visible. But the rhetoric they use and their candidates are very much visible,” Tamika Walker Kelly, the president of the North Carolina Association of Educators, told HuffPost.

In blue, red, and purple states alike, this election is shaping up to have dozens of hotly contested school board races that feature right-wing candidates going up against their more liberal counterparts and hoping to shape the next generation of public school students.

Scary stuff. They've been operating mostly under the radar - and they are dangerous! What do you think?

Well, that beats the shit out of trannies and queers who perversely parade their sexuality in front of children who should never have to deal with that.

I am absolutely not.

Not regurgitating the stupidity of your echo chamber does equate to ignorance.

ignornat.- Hilarious of course

What a dream. You should wake up.

The end result will be pretty much like we have now. Some exceptional schools, most in the middle of the pack, and several failing ones.

Parents are the key to a student’s success. As long as we are having kids giving birth to kids (moreso now thanks to your blob), we’re going to have a steady decline overall.

Meanwhile the next book your blob reads will be the first book he’s ever read.

Okay, so no good reason to oppose it then.

Which is why homeschooling is the resounding success it is. It requires parental commitment and involvement to do it right, and parents are doing it. Their kids are bypassing their government school counterparts. I notice you produced no studies showing homeschooled kids on average were falling behind government schooled kids.

Meanwhile the next book your blob reads will be the first book he’s ever read.

There you go again, fantasizing about blobs as if they're significant.

How amazing does a student have to be to get a degree from Wharton without even reading a book! Is Wharton really that bad of a school? Asking for a friend.

Plenty of good reasons to oppose it. For one, the GOP does not live in reality. They think your blob won the 2020 election.

Mostly False.

Nor do I intend to. Its a mixed bag.

There you go again, fantasizing about blobs as if they're significant.

There you go again, throwing a tantrum that I criticized your cult leader.

LOL... the best degree money can buy. (PS: you have no friends).

There's little to no daylight between education and indoctrination in the centralized federal DOE.
The OP cries, "Take Over" describing the ACTUAL notion of rescuing the future generations from this retarded MARXIST cycle of SOCIAL ENGENERRING.

Never have to deal with “queers”?

Hey asshole

There’s gay folks everywhere. Always has been

Yehbut not in openly homo teachers in elementary schools, brah.
That's OK for the gay bar, not for mainstream everybody's kids n stuff.
In 8th grade grade, we had a queer teacher.
If they proclaimed that back then they were fired on the spot.
I gotta give that man credit. Ol' Cuban boy was giving him the business trying to get him to slip, but he didn't. He held fast, and he was a good teacher. I will not mention my hot friend's sister in the class.
Yeah, she was right next to me on the left. Pretty girl. Beautiful. No, that's friend's hot sister.. Yeah.
Blonde hair, blue eyes, looking like everything a woman should be. Smelling good, too.
Yeah, she liked the dark ones. It is what it is. I'm still good friends with him, messing with his sister was always a no-no for me anyhow.
Oh! But the queer teacher. Yeah. Sexuality was not allowed in the schools in those days. Of any kind.
He was queer as a $3 bill and we all knew it, but unless he broadcast it, and went about his job, then he'd be OK. Opening up homosexuality to children like that sometimes before natural sexuality, even. That's some crazy stuff.
Probably Obama did that. He's a faggot.
Education and America was better for it, too.
We learned how to read and write and arithmetic too!
Before Bush and Obama.

I happen to know 306 is more than 232. You seem to have missed that truth.

 

[lennypartiv]

Hopefully right wing candidate win these election. Amazingly we've let these problems happen in our schools since the sixties. Liberal teachers taught students to rebel against authority. The students then started protests and cost us any chance we had to win the Vietnam War.

By student loans and grants you mean?
