Given SC’s poor education rankings, we expected Ellen Weaver @ellenfored to be another bureaucratic politician defending the status quo. It was therefore refreshing to find that Ellen was very dedicated to the cause and completely identified with the DOGESC motto of looking at education improvements through “the eyes of a child”. Rom Reddy @RomReddySC , DOGESC Founder commented “It became quickly apparent that Ellen Weaver is a committed professional with bold, creative ideas. The problem is a broken system with multiple independent Boards, 79 school districts that can pre-empt state education policy, administrators that exceed teachers, ideological ratholes and a dysfunctional system for which our children pay a big price. Everyone is in charge, so no one is in charge. I truly believe that with modifying governance and some leadership in the executive branch, Ellen can be a light in the darkness of a failed education system.” Ellen believes in fixing governance,  using innovation and technology that adjusts to how a child learns,  simplifying qualifications for teachers, prioritizing teachers over administrators  and putting SC on a path to a top 20 state in 4 years. Her vision aligns perfectly with the Palmetto Revolution: Covenant 250, which believes that our children can only achieve economic freedom through a world class education. For her leadership and her commitment to education reform that puts students and parents first, Ellen Weaver has earned our support and a green check mark on our Three Column Page - dogesc.com/who-is-a-palmetto… She supports our mission to make South Carolina the freest, most citizen-first self-governing state in America — and that starts by prioritizing our children.

UNDER FIRE: Hillary Clinton is facing sharp backlash after promoting a new book that paints her political opponents as “fascists” — just one week after the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. In her post, Clinton praised teachers union chief Randi Weingarten's book, 'Why Fascists Fear Teachers,' as a “critical read for this moment,” saying authoritarians target education because “it’s a cornerstone of democracy.” Conservatives erupted on social media, accusing Clinton and Weingarten of fueling the same rhetoric they say contributed to Kirk’s death.

📚 Record reading achievement in South Carolina! A statewide effort to train K–3 teachers in phonics is paying off. Now, 60% of 3rd–8th graders are reading on grade level — the highest English Language Arts proficiency since the test began 10 years ago. Great work, @ellenfored!

This is 100% correct! Glad S.C. has chosen to restrict cell phone use during school hours!

Today, we're praying for Superintendent of Education @ellenfored. 1st Timothy 2:1-3 #prayforleaders #biblicalworldview
