Replying to @ColleenDippel
It's close to reckless to misunderstand or knowingly mislead people to think that "billionaires" are selfishly sitting on a cash horde, or to delegitimize wealth creation that employs millions. Your "fair share" is consumer goods and services, and a rising standard of living.

It's not bigoted to refuse to wear an ideology or opinion.
🚨TRENDING: San Francisco Giants pitcher Sam Hentges declined to wear the team’s Pride Night cap on Friday night, infuriating some members of the fanbase. “It was equal parts bigoted and embarrassing, and blame deserves to shine throughout the organization,” Giants analyst Brady Klopfer wrote, noting that several other players wore the Pride hats but wrote biblical verses next to the logo.

This is what the superintendents of London County, San Francisco and Chicago Public Schools called "appropriate"on Capitol Hill this week.
Parents at Klahowya Secondary School are livid after they say a male substitute was allowed in the girls locker room because he sometimes considers himself "non-binary." He looks like a male, dresses like a male, and is in a relationship with a woman.

The survey did not have an option for eliminating the countless “teacher workdays” or “school planning days.” Public schools were once able to routinely have 5 day weeks and, shockingly, had better results.
🚨New: Fairfax County Public Schools is asking parents if they’re ok with eliminating Christmas in the school calendar, and other religious and cultural observances like Diwali, Eid al-Fitr, and Rosh Hashanah. FCPS has been under pressure recently to incorporate more five day school weeks.

📺Watch Now—This is important: Defending Ed asks the Trump Administration to rescind a Biden-era Title IX rule, a Congressional hearing with top school districts on parental rights, and the latest NAEP scores— @esanzi covers it all in this week's education breakdown.👇

My money is on "cave to union pressure" and it pains me to say it. He was once our greatest champion against unions and for parents — if he doesn't veto this bill, we know that person we thought we knew is long gone.
"Will the governor cave to union pressure, or will he keep his promise to Rhode Island voters?" My latest in @dcexaminer: washingtonexaminer.com/opini…

I find it hard to understand why people who point out divisiveness that is already there, are considered more trouble than the people who created divisiveness in the first place

“The university departments won’t hire anyone but leftists.” “Freedom of association. Make your own institutions.” “Okay” “And now we will spend millions to destroy your institutions.”
NEW: The Mellon Foundation gave $1.5 million to establish a "center for the defense of academic freedom." In audio I've obtained, the group's leader says his goal is to undermine the newly launched classical civics centers: "map who these f---ers are... and knock them out." 🧵

I talk with school board members across the country everyday. Every single one is in favor of adopting and implementing a high quality, knowledge-rich curriculum and few districts actually succeed. @rpondiscio nails the reasons why:
Knowledge-rich education doesn't merely challenge educational progressivism. It collides with some of the deepest commitments of American life: Individualism. Local control. Personalization. Choice. Distrust of authority. That's why it remains more admired than adopted. thenext30years.substack.com/…

My TDS addled colleagues passed a bill last night to prohibit RI from participating. This is a group of Democrats that inject "free Federal $" into their veins as a life-blood for their bloated programs - but let students have access to "free $" - NOPE, ORANGE MAN BAD.
Fixed it for you, @nytimes.

I can’t even process how insane up this is. WTF is happening? In this world of overprotective, safety-obsessed parents and Me Too overreach, how have we arrived at a point where the adults in charge put a teenage girl into a wrestling match with a boy, without her knowledge?
He shoved his fingers through her spandex, digitally penetrating her. The victim shouted to her mom that his fingers were inside her "c**chie." This is so disturbing. She's a 15-year-old girl & this young man assaulted her in public in a wrestling match.

There are a bunch of ways to cut the NAEP results. One of the more illuminating is to look at the percentage of students who score “below basic.” These are the kids who have fallen significantly below what is expected of them at that age. Here is what you see:

Teachers unions have destroyed the public school system in service of using it as another vehicle for corrosive woke politics. Kids will be paying for it for a generation.
🚨 One of the nation’s largest teachers, unions, @AFTunion (led by the infamous left-wing activist @RWeingarten), has made clear that political activism is its top priority — and that prioritization of politics, over the well being of its members, may have just landed Randi and her cronies in hot water 👇 Today, we’re calling on the Department of Labor to investigate whether @AFTunion is using its influence over teacher pension systems to advance a political agenda. Our belief is that @AFTunion’s political activism directly conflicts with the fiduciary obligations owed by public pension trustees (which the @AFTunion openly acknowledges it influences). There are a litany of examples of this. To name a few, @AFTunion and @RWeingarten have supported: - Pressure campaigns targeting firearm manufacturers - Fossil fuel divestment initiatives - Consumer boycotts against Target over its DEI policies - Threats of divestment from GM and Stellantis over union demands In 2025, Weingarten even demanded asset managers divest from Tesla, citing purely political concerns about @ElonMusk, claiming she was “safeguarding workers’ retirements.” (Tesla stock has increased by more than 40% since she made those comments.) It appears clear to us that union leadership is encouraging teachers and trustees to economically pressure companies that may also be generating returns for teacher retirement systems. We’re calling on @USDOL Acting Secretary @Sonderling47 to take a closer look to ensure that teachers’ retirement systems aren’t being used to push a political agenda.
