"Public schools have always been the epicenter of the right-wing culture war since the Supreme Court ruled segregation was unconstitutional in Brown v. Board of Education. Abortion, feminism, and LGBTQ+ rights were eventually added to the never-ending list of right-wing grievances."

"Enough with unicorns and dinosaurs – show children the magic of real, living animals instead" - theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Congrats. We need more of these! And TROMnews is meant to bring such articles to light.
The real world is many times more mindblowing than any movie, book, or story humans have invented. Not to mention it is real. If we want people to care about it, then they have to know about it. Expose children to real wonders, real stories, real life.

Is anyone surprised that teacher vacancies in England are at a record high?
Teachers have been under-paid & over-worked, are treated by the press as enemies of a mythical idea of 'common-sense eduction', have been exposed (post-Covid) to worsening student behaviour in schools, and have working lives that allow little space for resetting or time away from work.
We have abused them & strangely fewer people want to become teachers, even as more leave.

A draft of the executive order that circulated on Wed recognizes that Trump does not have the #power to shutter the Education Dept. It would take an act of #Congress & 60 yes votes in the #Senate, which is unlikely given #Republicans hold only 53 seats.
