I really wish rich, out-of-touch folks who nothing about education would just stop. 1) Read the fine print. THIS IS A GOVT VOUCHER PROGRAM. Voucher programs have not been shown to improve results for poor Black children because most cannot get into high-quality private schools. 2) Read the fine print. All of the money is coming from taxpayers, ie. the government. Roc Nation is not funding this, it is just launching an educational campaign that maybe it is being paid to do. I'm researching. But certainly, it's involvement is to convince poor Black parents to leave the public schools. 3) What do you think that $300 million could do for improving those low-performing public schools? 4) It is a lie that these programs do not take from public-school funding. Fewer kids in the classroom means fewer dollars to the school. 5) This is a windfall to the city's private schools at the expense of the public ones that most kids attend.

I'll take this one.

The idea that affirmative action or diversity, equity & inclusion policies equal lower standards is something that a lot of people believe.

Instead of citing what "I believe" like Elon did, let's use facts & a something I like to called "math"

Report for America, which funds of hundreds of local journalists, will no longer support positions at Gannett, Alden, or any newspapers owned by private equity or hedge funds because "that business model isn’t the future for robust local news." https://t.co/dVAE42a1M9

“We did remote learning for one and a half years, I don’t see why people are making such a big deal of one day,” said Spencer Katz, a 16-year-old junior. “It wasn’t sunshine and rainbows for them [migrant families] either. It wasn’t a handout, it was like basic human needs."

This is Amy Hadley & her kids, Kayla & Noah. In June 2022, police tossed dozens of tear gas bombs into their home, smashed windows, punched holes in the wall & more.

A cop's error led them to Amy's home. She hadn't committed a crime.

The gov't won't pay her back. A thread.

Alaska has the third-highest suicide rate in the nation, and the numbers are especially high in the northwest Arctic. But what if all of those "suicides" are not actually suicide? @kylehopkinsAK digs in: https://t.co/RrUPBxZD1P

A Mississippi mother who spent 7 months searching for her son discovered that an off-duty officer ran him over less than an hour after he left the house.

Authorities then buried him without notifying his family https://t.co/jMEgn4NeVX

Because a 19 year old didn't say the word journey which is what he meant to say, we are going to act like Keon didn't give us his all while he was MSU? Yall mad at the wrong guy.
