Right now, Trump Executive Order to kill public schools, slowly and surely.

[Alex4Martinez]

Listening to Trump right now live, Executive order = school choice to permit equal funding to parochial schools, home schools, charters, etc., and calling it a civil rights executive order.

Dressed up as something he's doing for the Hispanic community.

So-called "President Trump Signs an Executive Order on the White House Hispanic Prosperity Initiative"

3. They just closed 20 Catholic Schools in the lower Hudson Valley area...

no money is going to save them

Twenty Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of New York, including seven in the Lower Hudson Valley, will not reopen due to the financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic, the archdiocese said today.

Come the fall, three Catholic schools will merge into one, and 20 others will close down for good. These closures will impact approximately 2,500 students and 350 staff members, the archdiocese said in a statement.

Schools experienced a significantly lower rate of registration for the fall, according to the statement. Without public Masses and fundraising for scholarships, the archdiocese has seen a loss of parish contributions, which help support schools.

"Children are always the most innocent victims of any crisis, and this COVID-19 pandemic is no exception," said Timothy Cardinal Dolan, the Archbishop of New York. "Too many have lost parents and grandparents to this insidious virus, and now thousands will not see their beloved school again."

5. The Republicans hate public education.

and have been wanting to take a sledge hammer to it for decades. What's left to do after this? Social Security, Medicare, Food-stamps, voting needs work, and more judges of course...but the agencies have pretty much been decapitated. All those bothersome regulations are history. Things are looking really good for the GOP. A "Mission Accomplished" banner well deserved.
