Middle Age Riot tweet of the morning:

[tblue37]

Republicans think it's a good idea to give teachers less money, more students, fewer books, fewer resources, more parents in the classroom, more standardized tests, more scrutiny, more pressure, and a gun.

1. The GOP focused on filling positions on Boards of Education across the country back in the 80s.

They've been playing the long game.

"As people do better, they start voting like Republicans - unless they have too much education and vote Democratic, which proves there can be too much of a good thing." ~Karl Rove

3. I'm going to stitch this on a pillow and give it to my SIL.

She's a former trumper (she HATES him) whose daughter is a teacher.

5. I can see the headline now . . .

Librarian waves gun at school board meeting while holding a copy of Catcher in the Rye screaming, "From my cold dead hands!"

8. A Threat

GOP is a threat to our national security.......................they need to be stopped!!

9. Women may come through for us, but this issue would ride back in

on the back of Roe v Wade. Depending on what’s on the ballot, of course.

But if Roe v Wade gets more women voting, maybe we’ll have enough “friendlies” winning decision-maker jobs that other things will be taken care of in due course after everybody’s sworn in for the new terms in January.

11. Surprise! There is now a teacher shortage.

Who would have guessed?

Area colleges are running ads for people with degrees in various fields to take teaching jobs and the colleges will assist them in completing the course work to get certified.

And that is in liberal NY.

[Skittles]

[Blue Owl]

13. There it is... the GOP platform

[czarjak]

15. More wealth for the wealthy too.

14. Repugs are workng overtime to destroy free education.

Now that all these poor destitute babies will be born, they want them all to be uneducated so they will work for pennies after they have ended the minimum wage requirement.
