[Deuxcents]

1. Can't think of a better way to spend money for education 🤯

[LoisB]

2. Why not spend that money on some extra books? I hear that Tennessee has lost some due to

fire - maybe you could help them out.

3. Will they consider student and teacher safety?

Predators gawking at the kids, maybe capturing video.

Bad actors singling out students for crime or abduction.

Kooks waiting for a student or teacher to say something they don’t like.

4. Of course not

This is to make sure teachers don't say anything that'll offend one child's "deeply held religious beliefs."

Which they've had for all of one day.

And you do understand that a lot of kids will be using these kinds of laws to get rid of teachers they just don't like.

"Today, class, we will study the concept of latitude and longitude. Everyone please look at the globe. You will notice there are lines that go around the circumference of the globe. These are lines of latitude."

"Mrs. Smith, are you saying that you believe the earth is round?"

"That is correct, Johnny. The earth is indeed round."

"Well teacher, that conflicts with my deeply held religious belief that the earth is flat. I'm going to report you. You're going to be fined $10,000 and lose your teaching license for this."

(Teacher looks up...) "How did it ever come to this?"

5. Yeah, I hear you. I think too it's to insinuate there is

always something sinister going on in those evil Democratic public schools. They are intent on destroying an institution to further political goals and it’s disgusting. They want privatization of schools too, of course.
