Charlie Kirk relentlessly mocked and belittled higher education his entire podcasting career, repeatedly calling it a "scam" - and these MAGA cultists hang a banner of his face on the Department of Education?

What a disgrace.

A country that can instantly fund endless wars but debates every dime for healthcare and education doesn’t have a budget issue—it has a values issue.

Aren't they like the organized homeschools that have been around for years? I think children miss out on many student-teacher interactions.

Native Leaders Organize to Defend Alaska’s Ranked Choice Voting System The Alaska Federation of Natives is hoping to defeat a November ballot measure that would repeal the state’s new election rules, adopted just four years ago.

In 2024, Bolts wrote about voter education on ranked-choice voting in remote areas of Alaska.

AOC: It’s beyond just the American service members who have tragically died in this, and our hearts do go out in prayer to their families, but also the over 100 Iranian schoolgirls who have been killed in these attacks, and the countless people who are affected, possibly displaced as well.

Let’s be super clear: Just like his vouchers for private religious schools, Taxpayer-funded religious charter schools has been @GovBillLee’s plan all along.

His education privatization push is about “advancing God’s kingdom”, as Betsy Devos openly said.

this project, of course, includes preventing people at high school age or above from learning history to a more truthful or complicated degree than what's taught in grade school

Yup and this is related to Hegseth's whole thing yesterday about the military not sending people to prestigous grad schools anymore. The implication is that vets go to college and end up questioning the institutions they've been a part of

And you know, you can extend from this to a real important corallary to "Everyone is 12 Now" theory is "There has been a generation-long project to keep people 12."

Conservative news and opinon outlets, regressive mass audience entertainment products, etc. all propagandize a chilidish worldview.

Good to sound the alarm about Indianapolis schools. Isn't it essential to point out that privatization is about profits as well as control? And the "disenfranchisement" is of voters, destroying democratic control of schools.

A Hurricane in Indianapolis Indiana is facing hurricane level takeover of its public school system without the use of an actual hurricane.

So often it starts with someone who got 5 weeks of training with Teach for America, worked a year or two, and called themselves an education expert.
