Amen. Let's pursue educational alternatives that work.
How about equity in Football and basketball? Woke doesn't want to talk about that! Whites are not wanted there!
Sixteen schools in Virginia now claiming they "forgot" to notify students of their merit awards. I think we're going to learn later that they only "forgot" to to notify the white and Asian students, that the students of other groups were notified.
It's not just public schools. Employers are jumping on the "diversity and inclusion" bandwagon as well. To make up for perceived past wrongs they're going to wrong you today and tomorrow, and the day after to make up for those past wrongs, promoting people based on the color of their skin and their gender identities over their skill sets. I'm glad I'm close to retirement soon as I might have to become a trangendered, black female to keep my job in the future otherwise.
U can't just turn a blind eye to what the left has done to the country.the house needs to indict these corupt democrats and stop play the lefts game .
My earlier comment was premature. The school choice bill in Iowa is through the hurdles of committee and may reach the state house floor as early as next week.
Equity
Believing you and Usain Bolt are in the same league
Except this is the agenda
It's the reason we need school choice
Imagine thinking you can run with Usain Bolt
Public schools are under attack from the Woke liberal agenda which is basically communist propaganda. That is why parents are home schooling or going to private schools and Christian schools. Many American families cannot afford alternatives and are forced to use public schools. That is a very sad situation. The teacher's union is corrupted by politics.
It’s sad how colleges are becoming so politicized
Look at the intellectual level of many teachers….they can’t talk using correct grammar. Please don’t herd senior citizens into the nasty old school buildings.
She's against it because her and her ilk want to inculcate your children to their world view. The only way they can do that is to take your children from you emotionally and physically. Public school gives them opportunity to teach the beastly life they promote.
I'm a grandfather now but years ago as a young dad my co-worker accussed me of being "unamerican" because I sent my kids to our local christian school. Being timid as I was all I could say was that I was trying to raise my children to be responsible citizens just like he was. What I should have said was, not only am I paying for all the cost to educate my kids, I'm paying for your children's education as well. Aside from that, Iowa legislature has just passed in both houses and education choice bill that is going to Gov. Reynolds that she most likely will sign. Giving parents choice in education fosters better education for all children, monopoly yields mediocrity.
My kid is absolutely brilliant he is an straight A student. what his school is doing is holding him back.
This is what happens when young metal patients with fragile feelings get a job in education.
Doctors in 2030: “I just got a good night sleep at the Holiday Inn.. but I failed every class miserably… however, thanks to EQUITY.. I was top of my class at Harvard Medical School Online.”
Education as an Antidote for Hunger
Recently, the UN, and several related organizations, marked two significant dates: the World Food Day and the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. International organizations for the poor and hungry have existed at least since the end of World War II, but neither poverty nor hunger have been eradicated. If anything, they have increased. What, then, are we doing wrong, and can we change the dismal reality?
The problem is not lack of food; there is plenty of it. In fact, much of the food that is produced gets thrown away and pollutes the water and the ground rather than feeding hungry mouths. So people are hungry not for lack of food, but because there is no interest in helping people get it.
The prevailing attitude is one of narcissism. We care only for ourselves and suspect everyone else’s intentions toward us. If we have any surplus funds, we use them to build walls and fences, not to help others. This is how we behave around the world as individuals and as nations.
To quiet our conscience, we create organizations to tend to the poor and hungry. We fund them generously and appoint functionaries and bureaucrats to deal with the problem.
But if our hearts were with the poor, we would not leave them in the hands of bureaucrats, just as we would not leave our children in the hands of social workers to see to their upbringing. We would see that the people we care about get what they need.
Because we do not care, we appoint uncaring people who present plans for dealing with the spreading poverty and hunger, and announce special days to bring the problem to public awareness. They do not do a thing about the actual problems, but simply justify their bloated salaries through professionally designed presentations and verbose speeches that glorify their (nonexistent) achievements.
If they truly wanted to solve the problem, which funds their lavish lifestyle, there would be many ways to do so. However, the surest way to lift people from poverty is education.
First, there are technologies that can increase the yield of fields by multiple times through sophisticated irrigation systems, controlled environments, and other means. Farmers need to be taught how to use these technologies, and should be given the means to acquire them. This step alone would lift countless people out of hunger and poverty.
Next, I think that organizations for eradication of poverty and hunger should use their budgets to buy lands where they will both grow crops for food that will be dedicated for the poor, and use some of the land to teach local farmers more efficient agriculture.
Additionally, these centers for agriculture and education should be used in order to provide general education. It is well known that educated people have more opportunities in life, are generally better off, and can provide for themselves and their families better than uneducated people. Therefore, as a means to eradicate poverty and hunger, these centers should also provide general knowledge and education.
Also, education should not be only about avoiding poverty. Poverty is not a personal matter, but a social one. Therefore, people who study at these education centers should also learn about solidarity, mutual responsibility, interdependence in today’s world, and other topics that will help them establish themselves as positive elements in a connected world.
In this way, we can create an agrarian transformation that will become a social and cultural transformation that can free people not only from the grip of poverty and hunger, but integrate them in the global society of the 21st century as confident and positive individuals. In turn, these people will help others rise from poverty, and the process will gain momentum.

Yes! It is scary for public school parents to forge new ground into homeschool pods and micro schools. At 51 years old I did it. And my child is so much better for it. Happy and singing and playing with her friends while public school children were moping on public campus, masked and depressed from being constantly yelled at for letting their mask slip. Leaving the public school system can be wonderful! Connect with your neighbors and local homeschool hubs, pods, etc. much love to all
The DEMS want to make US,s People DUMB so it,s Easier for them to GET the ONE party Dictatorship They Want.
