The ‘landslide' that wasn't:

Not a word Mr. and Mrs. Vichy Quisling say can ever be trusted again - not that those words ever should have been trusted. They are confidence tricksters - and grifters

Not panicked (fully) yet.

What should I be doing to prepare for the dismantling of public education?
Online programs?
Purchasing curriculums now?
I have 4 kids in public school and I worry what that will look like next year

I was surprised and asked why.
She said it was to know who she isn't safe around
