Great piece. My favorite quote from it: “If it can’t be memed, it can’t survive.” This is so true, especially in K-12 education.

As a teacher educator who has prepared hundreds of graduate students for certification, this sickens me. The destructive force of this administration (if you can call it that) knows no bounds.
