What happened to the good old days of just stuffing the kid in a locker?  

I slammed a locker on a bullys head when he slammed one on the girls hand next to my locker. He was a jerk from the 9th grade and we were in 7th. He took a short 😴. Always stood up for the less thans.

MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell interviewed Vice President Kamala Harris and, well, it was a masterpiece of misinformation.

 

Mitchell asked Harris to answer a question about DeSantis and his position on teaching slavery and the aftermath of slavery.

 

Except the question continued complete falsehoods and misrepresentations about what DeSantis believes.

 

“Let me ask you, what does Governor Ron DeSantis not know about Black history and the Black experience when he says that slavery and the aftermath of slavery should not be taught to Florida schoolchildren?” Mitchell asked.

 

The statement that Ron DeSantis does not want slavery and the aftermath of slavery taught in Florida schools is a complete, and easily disprovable lie.

 

A two second search of the Florida Department of Education’s website shows that far from being banned, teaching about slavery is a requirement.

• The following is in the required instruction statute, s. 1003.42(2)(h), F.S.
  • The history of African Americans, including:
    • the history of African peoples before the political conflicts that led to the development of slavery;
    • the passage to America;
    • the enslavement experience;
    • abolition; and
    • the history and contributions of Americans of the African diaspora to society.

It’s almost impossible to imagine a more inaccurate question.

Special education teacher, Alicia Messing, testified before the Arizona Senate Education Committee in opposition to Arizona bill SB1700. The bill would give parents greater insight into materials used by their schools and a procedure for objecting to material they find objectionable, especially those that are found to be ‘lewd or sexual in nature, that promote gender fluidity or gender pronouns or that groom children into normalizing pedophilia’.

Messing seemed quite confident that her master’s degree qualified her to make these decisions for parents.

 

She went even further to explain her philosophy with the following quote:

‘The purpose of public education is not to teach only what parents want their children to be taught. It is to teach them what society needs them to be taught.’

Let us think about that … hmm … yeah, that’s gonna be a big fat nope.

 

 

Guess what, Mrs. Messing? Your master’s degree in education doesn’t qualify YOU to determine what society ‘needs’ children to be taught. It qualifies you to TEACH what society decides children should be taught.

 

We hate to break it to you, Alicia, but we, the parents, are society.

 

Our children don’t belong to you. You work for us.

She is correct that public education is for teaching what the children "need".  But am pretty sure that word doesn't mean what she thinks it means.

Heads of Lib-tard educators in Florida are exploding

 

Experts alarmed over Florida GOP bill that would “result in a regime of censorship" at colleges (msn.com)

 

House Bill 999 filed by Representative Alex Andrade, R-Pensacola, would prohibit public colleges from funding any projects that "espouse diversity, equity, and inclusion or Critical Race Theory rhetoric" and also proposes that the board of trustees remain in charge of all faculty hiring. 

 

"Each constituent university may initiate a post-tenure review of a faculty member at any time with cause," the bill says. 

 

Not only does the bill limit majors and minors in Critical Race Theory, Gender Studies, or Intersectionality, but also proposes the exclusion of these subjects being taught as part of any course offering.

he should get his own statute if he can kill off what has become of "public education" in America

 

Florida will become the place where public higher education goes to die: education expert (msn.com)

 

"It's not even close to some of the other bills that we've seen in other places," Young explained. Many red states have fought to restrict education that teaches the truth about America's history of slavery and civil rights under the guise of white parents being triggered. "This bill would go beyond recent attempts to restrict classroom teaching and speech in higher education, classrooms and readings. It would restrict instead entire universities. Among other provisions, it would require that general education classes include only material that promotes, 'the values necessary to preserve the constitutional republic and traditional historically accurate course work' and ban general education courses based on, 'unproven theoretical or exploratory content.' This is a bill that would really end academic freedom in higher education. Not just certain course areas, but at all times, and all campuses everywhere. It really is a bill that would make Florida the place where public higher education goes to die."

You can't get rid of the DEI program

we haven't grown it big enough yet, to be untouchable 

 

 

Emotional meeting ends with DeSantis' New College of Florida board abolishing diversity office (msn.com)

 

New College of Florida's Board of Trustees abolished the office handling diversity, equity and inclusion programs during a contentious and emotional meeting Tuesday that included testimony from students worried that a board reshaped by Gov. Ron DeSantis is making the school unwelcoming to minorities.

 

Keenan wondered if the board was spending a lot of time and energy on something that was relatively limited in scope. She suggested that the effort spent weeding out DEI programs was out of proportion to the amount of DEI that actually exists on campus.

 

“This is not a very impressive DEI bureaucracy," Keenan said.

 

Keenan, Lipinski and Trustee Mary Ruiz voted against eliminating the diversity office.

 

 

Rufo and Trustee Matthew Spalding both suggested it is discriminatory to take race into account when setting the college's priorities.

 

"It treats people differently on the basis of their skin color," Rufo said.

 

“This is discrimination, it should be gone," Spalding added.

Florida bills would ban gender studies, transgender pronouns, tenure perks (msn.com)

 

 

“It’s a complete takeover of higher education,” said Kenneth Nunn,

 

Florida legislators have proposed a spate of new laws that would reshape K-12 and higher education in the state, from requiring teachers to use pronouns matching children’s sex as assigned at birth to establishing a universal school choice voucher program.

 

The half-dozen bills, filed by a cast of GOP state representatives and senators, come shortly before the launch of Florida’s legislative session Tuesday. Other proposals in the mix include eliminating college majors in gender studies, nixing diversity efforts at universities and job protections for tenured faculty, strengthening parents’ ability to veto K-12 class materials and extending a ban on teaching about gender and sexuality — from third grade up to eighth grade.

 

 

A sixth education-related bill, House Bill 1, co-introduced by Rep. Kaylee Tuck (R-Lake Placid) and Rep. Rene “Coach” Plasencia (R-Orange County), renders all parents eligible to receive state funds to send their children to private school, stripping away a previous low-income requirement. It comes as the school choice movement is surging nationally, with Republican-led states passing laws that grant state funds to parents who can spend the money on religious and private schools.

Translation: Many of us students have been here for 10-12 years.

no way is DeSantis derailing our gravy train.

 

 

 

New College of Florida students vow 'as long as we're here' DeSantis 'can't change the culture of this school' (msn.com)

 

 

"The main thing is the students. The students are still here. The students are still, you know, LGBT. The students still respect and encourage for a diverse array of studies and want to understand the truth about society. And as long as we're here they can't change the culture of the school," trans student Sam Sharf said.

DeSantis played a video at the briefing showing images from some of the books parents objected to that were being used in multiple Florida school districts.

 

WARNING: These videos contain graphic content.

 

Exposing to the public directly to what exactly these books are telling and showing children was smart enough.

 

But what was even more impressive was that a number of media outlets were forced to cut their feeds of the briefing because the images were too graphic.

 

DeSantis Exposes Graphic Content Aimed at Children

By forcing media outlets to show the content in books targeted to children, DeSantis exposed how absurd their arguments are.

 

If this content is too explicit to be shown to adults watching on television during a midday news broadcast, how in the world is it appropriate for children?

 

The answer, of course, is that it isn’t appropriate.

 

But media outlets have been attacking him and his efforts to protect children by inaccurately claiming he’s “banning books.”

 

This briefing showed that far from “banning books,” he’s ensuring pornography and graphic content isn’t available to children in schools.

BREAKING NEWS:  The FCC and Department of Education aren't the same thing.

 

Still...if I were President, and a truly malicious and conniving President (note: I wouldn't be), I'd be arresting DeSantis on federal child pornography charges or something similar.  I'm mildly surprised the FBI isn't already on it.

They want DeSantis to stay in the scope of Trump.  One benefit of Trump sparing with him. Media and Dems will leave him alone. Hmmmm, perhaps that is what that is all about.

“The New Normal”: New York to Lower Math and English Proficiency Standards Due to Poor Test Results

Quote

“A scoring committee that reports to the Board of Regents said Monday that they must take into account the results of last year’s tests for students in grades three through eight. Some schools posted shocking results — in Schenectady, no eighth grader who took the math test scored as proficient. And the scores for the third through eighth grade tests throughout the state were much lower in 2022 than in 2019, a result no doubt of the absence of in-person learning during the first year and beyond of the COVID-19 pandemic.”

 

I can tell you firsthand that, being in the trades, craftsmanship's days are numbered. In the not too distant future, you are not going to be able to find anyone who knows how to work with the delicacy that instills a quality product.
 

It is a trickle down effect that began back in the early '80's when they allowed the calculator to be brought into the math classroom.

https://www.outkick.com/ohio-school-with-terrible-report-card-were-going-to-4-day-school-week-to-avoid-teacher-burnout/

 

In one of the most preposterous moves in the history of educating children, an Ohio school district has voted to go to school LESS and the superintendent claims this plan “could save the profession of eduction.”

 

North College Hill, OH superintendent Eugene Blalock, who posts videos of himself leading workout routines at school, is currently in charge of the 597th ranked Ohio district. There are 607 Ohio school districts.

 

So let’s break this down in an easily digestible format:

1. Students will go to an actual school building four days a week
2. On Mondays, they’ll be expected to do schoolwork at home based on what they’re learning in class
3. Less direct instruction from teachers
4. Parents can still send their kids to school buildings to do their assigned work “under the watchful eye of staff members.”
5. Students can still eat lunch at school
6. In other words, Monday for K-8th graders will be one long day of study hall. This should work out real well

Excuse me while I try to figure out who this is helping. The superintendent and the teachers claim this will be great for them.
