@SenatorAument @DaveMcCormickPA Also, what is the Legislature doing to do away with the nonsense of requiring a date on mailed ballots? If it doesn’t arrive by Election Day, it doesn’t get counted. Period. If it arrives earlier, the date is irrelevant.
@SenatorAument @DaveMcCormickPA Please do better than citing Fox News. They are clearly a biased news source, and the fact that you are reposting this clip shows how much you yourself are willing to bend the truth.
@SenatorAument This is disingenuous and Republicans know it. Abbott’s showboating is an embarrassment for a country that was built by immigrants and has the capacity to do more for asylum seekers.
@SenatorAument Supporting the ridiculous — and dangerous — stunts of Governor Abbott is not the way forward. Why aren’t you leaning on your counterparts in the U.S. House to get serious about realistic compromises?
@SenatorAument Agreed. Equitable funding for PUBLIC education requires bold decision making like a new funding scheme and consolidation to countywide districts.
@SenatorAument What you call “a better path” is simply an excuse to ignore real issues of funding for public education and children’s welfare. We do not want taxpayer-funded vouchers.
@SenatorAument @RepJFleming@ExcelinEd Few disagree that parents should have some say, but SB7 is another indication that your party doesn’t trust librarians and teachers to do the work they have been trained to do.
It's #EarthDay and the start of #NationalParkWeek, so a perfect time to share a 🧵 about F&M alumna Janice Stroud-Settles ’00, the wildlife program manager for @ZionNPS in southern Utah.
@SenatorAument You want to redesign PA education? How about consolidating 500 school districts into a more manageable, more efficient county-based system. Watch the disparities between Hempfield and SDOL disappear overnight!
@SenatorAument Education ≠ job training. If employers have trouble finding experienced employees, maybe they need to rethink the incentives they are offering the labor force. Are we not a capitalist economy?
@SenatorAument “Student academic performance and readiness to enter our workforce has been declining for many years.” Cite your sources, please. I’m all for rethinking a system that prioritizes teaching to antiquated tests, but you seem to equate our children to cogs in a machine.
