Really?? Because

That's why.

Their end goal is (and always has been) to eliminate public education entirely and make school available only to the wealthy elite. An uneducated populace is easier to control.

I once interviewed at a non-profit for a DoD position and in the 3rd round they asked me to write a proposal for a $5M capital campaign which I would pitch to the Board. I said hire me & I’ll do it on salary, otherwise no thanks.

Can the Till family sue her in civil court, even just symbolically? I mean, not that they should have to traumatize themselves even further, but...?

Getting fired from a non-profit is the worst bc you feel like you failed at caring enough. I got fired bc I refused to continue doing unpaid evening & weekend hrs volunteering at events on top of working 40 hrs/wk. The CEO called this "insubordination"; I called it self-care.

All this is well and good and he deserves to be left penniless, but when exactly will he have to start paying? Alex Jones was ordered to pay $1Billion to Sandy Hook victims in 2023, but he hasn’t paid a cent. When will justice be served for these corrupt con men?

It’s not that they don’t understand. It’s that they don’t WANT TO understand. These are the same people who say there’s no such thing as systemic racism or police violence. It’s the privileged belief that THEY get to dictate the narrative, and truth/facts are irrelevant.
@AntonioArellano
This is a taunt. Abbott wants to provoke an arrest to rile up tRump's base even further. He should be arrested, but the Biden team is probably looking at more diplomatic options that tiptoe around this.

How would that even be history if it only goes back to the 1970s? Good for them. The students are the teachers and administration should take a lesson from them.

Can you share what year/level students these are, what the class was, and the assignment prompt? Also, can you describe where you teach? I wonder about transferability.
Robb Elementary has 576 students—and 84% are economically disadvantaged.
Now 19 were murdered, 17 have bullet wounds, & 538 are emotionally scarred the rest of their lives. The school has 1 Counselor. ONE. Yet, Uvalde Police is 40% of the town budget.
This Is A Failed System.

The fact that this was done in secret AND not a single Congressperson who attended alerted Congressional oversight to express concern shows they ALL knew what they were doing and should ALL be held accountable.

By the same token, Dems need to stop projecting their compassion, rationality, and integrity onto MAGAs. They just don't have any. There's no reasoning with them.

Not a surprise. Do we really need studies showing that better pay, flexible schedules, remote options, PTO, and work-life balance promote wellness? I'd be curious to know if this particular study focused on US workplaces or if it was global in scope.
@DonLew87
Part of me also wonders if this "son" actually exists. He's not in any family photo, he was not formally adopted, he did not take the Johnson surname, and now as an adult he could not be reached for comment. Yet Johnson touts his Black son as evidence of racial awareness. 🤔
@SethAbramson
Again, all of this took planning and coordination. I don’t think it’s conspiracy theory territory to surmise the two events are somehow related. It also coincidentally comes when the likelihood of a TFG indictment is ramping up.

Two reasons:
1) If Biden were to replace Garland at this critical moment, he'd worry that might be perceived as political*
2) He still, perhaps unrealistically, believes the checks & balances work and justice will prevail.
*Yes, I know, GQP will claim everything is political.
