Dear #UCP MLAs, At this point, I believe most Albertans can clearly see through the privatization playbook that echoes the tactics used in pre- and post-Brexit Britain and Trump-era America: #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #FireTheUCP #RecallThemAll #Alberta #SavePublicHealthcare #SavePublicEducation

History shows how this approach ultimately played out for the governing parties that employed it—public trust eroded, and electoral consequences followed. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #PublicHealthcare #Accountability #FireTheUCP #RecallThemAll #Alberta #SavePublicHealthcare #SavePublicEducation

Trump wants to shut down the Dept. of Education. That’s not reform—it’s sabotage.

Millions of kids will suffer. Inequality will grow.

This is a war on public schools, civil rights, and democracy itself.

Resist it. Loudly. Now.

Federal funding made up 18% of Texas' public school budget for the 2021-2022 school year, compared with 23% in Mississippi — the highest in the nation — and just 7% in New York, the lowest, per USA Facts. #savePublicEducation #ProtectEducationInvestments

Your MOSTLY daily reminder that a free, appropriate education is a human right. The demonizing of public education is a plan that snatches the gift of an education from the poor...and that is the goal. #teachers #savepubliceducation #saveourschools #righttoread #education #teacher #educationforall

Greg Abbott is a liar.

Well, he's much more than that, but I'll keep it clean.

SCOOP: Now that Linda McMahon is confirmed/sworn in as secretary, Trump will be imminently issuing an executive order eliminating the Department of Education.

I’ve obtained a draft of an email that McMahon will be sending to staff re: the EO and the department’s “final mission”.

Here is a portion:
After President Trump's inauguration last month, he has steadily signed a slate of executive orders to keep these education promises: combatting critical race theory, DEl, gender ideology extremism, and discrimination in admissions. President Trump has also been focused on eliminating wasteful bureaucracy and harmful programs in the federal government. To that end, today he signed [Executive Order XYZ, entitled "Eliminating the Department of Education,] which has given us a clear and final mission. We are to identify which of the Department's functions, programs, and offices are not mandated by statute, and eliminate them. This reorganization will impact staff, budgets, reporting, and more —and in coming months, we will determine how it can be accomplished with minimal delay and disruption. The President further tasked us with creating a plan to reallocate and reassign functions of the Department of Education that would be more effectively managed by other agencies. This plan will offer Congress a road map toward fulfilling the expectations of the President and the American people. The new vision—which I hope each of you will embrace going forward—can be expressed as four main convictions: Parents are the primary decision makers in their children's education. Students deserve to be protected from physical violence, racial discrimination, medical tyranny, and gender extremism ideology on campus. Postsecondary education should be a path to a well-paying career aligned with workforce needs. Taxpayer-funded education should refocus on meaningful learning: proficiency in math, reading, and core subjects, and patriotism in American history and civics. As we move to reduce the Department's middleman role in education, these four convictions must guide us toward conscientious and pragmatic action. The elimination of bureaucracy should free us, not limit us, in our pursuit of these goals Removing red tape and bureaucratic barriers will empower parents to make th

As a former educator I am saddened that teachers voted for this. The dismantling of public education only serves the wealthy. Literacy is a basic human right and fair does not always mean equal. #specialeducation #education #literacyisahumanright #savepubliceducation

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just confirmed Linda McMahon as Education Secretary—another unqualified billionaire who doesn't understand the Department she's tasked with leading and who is ready to grab the hatchet and help Trump destroy the Department of Education altogether.

They say cut the red tape - but they mean cut the lifeline.

Shutting down the Dept. of Education isn’t policy, it’s erasure. Of opportunity. Of accessibility. Of hope.

Read my latest poem, Department of Erasure: tinyurl.com/DepartmentOf...

#SavePublicEducation #FightBack
Department of Erasure They say, cut the red tape, But what they mean is cut the lifeline. A stroke of a pen, a signature in ink, Then just like that, Their foundations, Their futures, Begin to sink. They say, "States can handle it." That we don't need Big Government Breathing down our kids' necks. But tell me, when has a system built on ZIP codes and tax brackets ever been fair to the ones just tryna survive? The Department of Education, Not some faceless bureaucracy, But the only thing standing between kids with dreams and a school that says, "Sorry, we can't afford you." It's the reason the lunch tray still has food, Why your cousin with dyslexia has a classroom built for learning, Why college aid exists for kids who dare to believe that education is a right, not a white privilege They say: "Personal responsibility!" "Bootstraps!" "Self-reliance!" "Merit!" But: Who's gonna pull up the kid whose district can't afford textbooks? Who's gonna make sure the deaf child has an interpreter? Who's gonna tell the girl in the wheelchair, "Yes, you belong here too?" Oh, but they'll say: "It's about freedom." "Let states decide!" "Let parents choose!"
