Why? Because the governor wants to overhaul the system. And by overhaul, we mean systematically defund, destabilize, decentralize and ultimately devalue public education. And court orders don’t stop these maniacs. Rule of law is out. Autocracy is in.

The race to the bottom is so chaotic that we somehow aren’t even talking about the fact that the entire state of Ohio DOESN’T CURRENTLY HAVE A DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION! Y’all.

[Dayton 24/7 Now @dayton247now]

The Ohio Department of Education ceases to exist after a restraining order ruling by a Franklin County judge.

To invoke the tragedy of Parkland in order to expand a hyper militarized NYPD in schools is sick.

[Bernadette Hogan @bern_hogan]

The NYPD is working to boost security measures at city schools following a visit by department brass to the site of the 2018 Parkland, Fla., mass shooting.

Disrespectfully, @TTuberville, you and all your super pac cronies can kick rocks.

@TTuberville Fixed it: “The COVID really brought it out how bad our [legislative institutions] are and how bad our [elected officials] are…Most of them in the [congress], I don’t know how they got degrees.” (achoo: nepotism, white male privilege!)

“They want less [access to public goods and services], less [people alive],” he said. “It’s just, we’ve ruined [democratic rule of law] in this country. We don’t work at it anymore. We push [a white supremacist agenda].”

@NYCTSubway Any word on the Manhattan-bound q currently stopped at Parkside?

@pantryentry Two Zambonis and A Bearded Dragon? No, Just My Mother.

And just like that, our chance to finally make public education public and equal opportunity actually equal is trumped by greedy, opportunity-hoarding, boots-straps ideology.

Here's a full writeup of Chancellor Banks' comments, which come not long after his decision to double down on competitive admissions in middle and high schools:

Which is to say, there’s hope for us yet folks!

These kids know what’s up! And they’ve got an incredible model for advocacy, collective power and action. And truly powerful voices! #SolidarityNotScarcity #Education4Liberation #HotLaborSummer #FundOurSchools

Everything is terrible, truly. But this man right here (who I met on the street at Friday’s march) cuts through all of it and makes me feel hopeful, like actually hopeful. 1/

A few weeks ago, after a stream of unthinkable events-the subway shooting, Buffalo, then Uvalde-I wanted my students to feel something other than despair and have some understanding of how powerful organizing can be, so I introduced @Shut_downAmazon and his movement to them. 2/

Our kids, our vendors, our community deserve so much better. #defundthepolice #defundthenypd

This is what slashing @NYCParks and school budgets - while funneling tax payer dollars into a hyper militarized NYPD - looks like:

[Alyce @aaldige]

This is so disgusting and embarrassing, but this is the reality of an @ericadamsfornyc regime. And to every rep who ran on a progressive/defund platform, then reneged on their promise, shame on you.
