AWESOME. Let the teachers TEACH not indoctrinate. Teachers will be celebrating (privately). Teaching is a calling like nursing is. They may be free to thrive and flower. Of course some of them will need to move to a state that gets it right.
I'm a teacher and I feel a great sense of relief with this. The entire system needs to be destroyed and rebuilt. I am hoping to make it in my career until this new system is in place, a system where kids learn what they need to know to be successful and don't feel they are in prison all day.
I grew up with school cafeterias and school buses in the 50s and 60s. There was nothing terrible about it. It was simple food and simple transportation, and no one got up in a whirl about it. I have more memories of the classrooms than of these aspects.
My prescription is to return largely to the course content and textbooks of my father's generation in the 1930s. I read his textbook on grammar. College level, with details about what punctuation marks there are and how to use them. I read a textbook on home economics (cooking) and it was almost like reading a chemistry text, explaining what goes on in the chemistry of baking bread. There is a very clear and substantial thesis that, once it was accepted that everyone needed to go to college, the high schools relaxed all their standards. The prior attitude was that a high school diploma was as far as most children would go in their formal education, so the idea was to cram in as much as possible. My high school taught courses in English Literature, Mathematics up to calculus, Geography & History, French, German, Spanish, and Latin, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Shopwork. Not to mention electives in Art, Music, and Theater. The marching band was the pride of the town. Today, its music building is a demolished memory.
When you realize who Robert Maxwell is and what businesses he owned, you realize our educators have a LONG journey ahead of them.

Under the plan I’m announcing today, we will take the billions and billions of dollars that we will collect by taxing, fining, and suing excessively large private university endowments, and we will then use that money to endow a new institution called the American Academy.
Under the plan I’m announcing today, we will take the billions and billions of dollars that we will collect by taxing, fining, and suing excessively large private university endowments, and we will then use that money to endow a new institution called the American Academy…a world-class education available to every American, free of charge, and do it without adding a single dime to the federal debt.
We have entered a whole new world of education. We must break the shackles of indoctrination to save our young people.
Removing the Department of Education and returning the responsibility to the States and We The People, just as our US Constitution directs, is an excellent step.
Providing alternative education systems to the big private woke liberal behemoths is fantastic news as well.

My heart sings for you.
School cafeteria and food like prison, buses like prisoner transport...the whole system needs to go

Here Here! 50’s and 60’s were the best.
I could go on about this all day. I’ve got way too much to say it adequately here.
hilarious username, fren!!
Well I hope everyone says it. I want to change towns education but need to draw on everyone's knowledge.
Sounds good to me and you can help make it happen…. 🙏
I'm certain you felt out of place for so long with the liberals ruling over this whole system.
Here is a reminder from Trump about a year ago.

This is awesome. Thanks for sharing this.
You are very welcome!

School is for learning, not indoctrinating!
Amen. This is an exciting time to be alive.
Liberal "teachers" are scared and screaming. I love it. Send education back to being locally controlled. Parents involved heavily.
Absolutely correct gal!
