I actually read all 216 pages of Florida's new state social studies standards, and the enslaved-people-benefitting-from-slavery is not even the worst part. They basically created a K-12 course in Caucasian Race Theory

Here's the top 10 problems I found:

@citygirl622 Workers in the arts are unionizing. Art Institute did already and Museum is Science and Industry staff have launched a drive. I think both are with AFSCME. I know Art Institute workers are

1. I think it's cool to have NASCAR in Chicago. I've never said otherwise. However, it's highly questionable that any of these metrics translates to an economic win ...

Linda Jennings has been living in South Shore for 64 years - she and her fellow homeowners are struggling more and more with rising property taxes, HOA fees, and compliance with city regulations

Here’s what the #Voucher pushers don’t want you to know:

*Even if* I paid $7k in taxes per kid for K12 (which I don’t because only the uber rich do), only a tiny fraction of that goes to “my child’s education.” The rest is used for shared expenses that benefit other kids —

Awful. Awful way to die. The anxiety they must have had getting on to it in the first place. The noises the vessel inevitably made before it tore apart. The families not knowing what happened, and may never truly know.

Those poor migrants. They only wanted a better life.

[Jes Cerdeña, MD, PhD (she/her) @jes_cerdena]

My biggest takeaway from the Titan story is that we absolutely could have coordinated, multinational efforts to ensure no migrant dies crossing the sea and we choose not to.

Wrong as always Paul, this letter explains it all. “We should be using our tax dollars to support schools that do not discriminate. Private school subsidies undermine our underfunded public education system. The Invest in Kids program should sunset.”

@slucy I would be ok if 5 days didn’t roll over or if there was some limit to total days that could accumulate

With the end of the Public Health Emergency, the CDC has removed the COVID transmission map from their website.

This is how you manufacture the disappearance of a pandemic.

In a letter signed by 141 local school council members, @ILRaiseYourHand calls on the Chicago school board to push back this week's deadline to finalize school budgets to May 24.
This year's timeline did not give local school councils enough time to vet budgets, they argue.

Feels like these are strategic actions to control narrative, prevent dissent and protest, limit public participation and democracy

[Deb Hass @BlueSkiesdeb]

Just like last year, seems like a calculated move to diminish and resist one of the most critical functions of LSC. Info session timed after sign up to speak at BOE meeting, tight timeframe limits press time to report, school and neighborhood community time to engage

[Raise Your Hand @ILRaiseYourHand]

At the CPS Citywide LSC meeting now... they want LSC members to approve budget by 5/4 (best practice is at least 2 sessions). Curious - have you seen your school's budget?

[Deb Hass @BlueSkiesdeb]

Plus, CPS not publicly listing school budget amounts. Do we have to FOIA to see them for all schools? Definitely not time for that. And, lots of CPS talking points about more $ without addressing whether increases will keep pace with inflation. May well not be more in real terms
