@polinaemm @chrisemdin Why are we mocking an educator reading a book to help better understand and build relationships with her students when so, so many white educators who teach in communities of color take the opposite approach?.

Why is the CDC meeting with any special interest groups at all? I legitimately don’t understand. There needs to be an explanation or resignations - and I say that as a Democrat.

@What46HasDone Hi, Democrat here. This isn’t accurate. Romney’s campaign was not incredibly divisive. The “moochers who want free government stuff” was a clip from a private fundraiser collected by an opposition researcher - it wasn’t the centrality of his campaign.

@HeatherScottID Super weird being a public elected official and posting a photo of a constituent(?) without permission, given that his behavior wasn't violent. This is literally the culture your party decries.

@DonaldJTrumpJr For example, if I told you my mother thinks you have a "crippling" cocaine addiction, the quotations around the word "crippling" aren't there to denote irony but to indicate that was the word she used.

@DonaldJTrumpJr You know what else would explain this? That the quotation marks indicate the word massacred was stated by a source who experienced the incident first hand. You know, in a quote.

If that $26,000 went directly to families, a learning pod master teacher with a group of 10 kids could make $200,000 a year with money left over for parents to spend on extracurriculars and high-impact tutoring.
Los Angeles public school funding per student:. 2019-20: $15,630.2020-21: $17,716.2021-22: $26,355. 69% increase since 2019-20.

This is ripped 100% from the talking points of the national teacher unions. Literally the bullet points on an internal slide deck, almost word for word. It's polarizing, political drivel and also just straight up wrong.

@SenClaireCelsi @DeAngelisCorey Shameful that you’d tweet this while virtue signaling with repeated tweets like what follows, especially given that Des Moines - your district and neighboring - has proficiency rates for Black children in the 40s, with some schools dropping to the low 30s.

@ezraklein San Francisco has the largest achievement gap between the education of white students and students of color of any city in California. We have a crisis of homelessness. If Silicoln Valley is solving problems, Ezra, they’re not the problems that actually matter for justice.

The 2020 master narrative of American education boils down to this: the virus has forced middle and high income families to grapple with the inadequacies of a system that previously were only understood by low-income families.

There's a story here for a national education reporter. Ravitch. Warren. Hoffman. So many others. Consistent pattern of white progressives who are the most myopic in opposing charters and broader choice policy having attended or sending their own kids to privates. NIMBY-esque.
She went to an elite private school. But what about private schooling for the less fortunate?🤔. Hoffman: "For our low-income families public schools are the best choice for our kids"

The aim of this op-ed isn't to hit conservatives. It's to try to peel moderate, centrist Democrats away from support of a parents' right to choose. That's been Berkshire's consistent goal and strategy; she played the exact same card in the weeks after Trump's victory in 2016.

@Scott_Wiener 1) It’s not just conservatives. We’re all sick of it. Along with crime. 2) Partially-aligned tactics that might potentially roll up to a solution if combined with other tactics don’t warrant a press conference, especially if that solution remains very far out of reach.
