Be informed about what’s happening in #uted. Out of 50 grants awarded, one #Utah school has been selected to participate in the agenda of this LGBTQ org: Layton, UT – Layton High School: Project will support a series of events during Pride Week. #utpol#utleg#usbe
UPDATE: Utah Governor @GovCox (R) went on radio trying to explain how actually he supports school choice even though he just said he would veto a school choice bill.
You can't have it both ways.
“Governor Cox should listen to parents instead of the teachers union,” DeAngelis said. “If Governor Cox throws parents under the bus, then the Republican Utah legislature should override his veto and empower families.”
Utah’s Republican Gov. Spencer Cox vowed to veto a school choice bill on Thursday as school choice advocates point out that the Governor accepted $75,000 in campaign funds from the nation’s largest teachers union #utleg#utpol https://t.co/MH5ZS4V97b
Conservatives on Twitter were quick to point out Cox had received a $75,000 campaign donation from the National Education Association, the nation's largest teacher union that has universally opposed school choice policies nationwide. #utpol#utleg https://t.co/ag5ozrp10t
@BenWinslow@GovCox@fox13 So, what he’s saying then is that he believes in choice, just not the choice of agonizing parents seeking to find a solution to meet their child’s unique and at times desperate education needs. #utpol#utleg
Translation: Nate believes in a two tier society, where there are those like him, who can exercise school choice and attend a private school, and no options for low-income families. We call this elitism. It's not new, but the remedy is true education pluralism for all students.
Low-income parents who may desperately need different education options for their child simply have little or no hope in providing those. How is that fair or right? #utleg#utpol@CandicePierucci@DeAngelisCorey

“With the climate over the past couple of years, I think there’s been a shift in what people think should be possible for their kids, (their) education and whether or not state dollars should follow that,” Cullimore said. #utpol#utleg

President Biden measuring education attainment by time, not learning outcomes. Time sitting in seats, not learning. That's the wrong end of the student. It's also 20th-century thinking, not type of thinking that will allow us to make the advances we need in 21st century.
SCOOP: A Cupertino elementary school forces third-graders to deconstruct their racial and sexual identities, then rank themselves according to their “power and privilege.”
I've obtained exclusive whistleblower documents from inside the classroom. They will shock you. 🧵
Opponents of #schoolchoice are losing their minds because thousands of parents are flocking to microschools like @prendalearn.
Hey @Empowered_AF, as a Black mom of children with special needs who attended Prenda, do you think it’s a “segregation academy”?
