This is a USA Today headline I just saw that demonstrates everything that is wrong with The News these days:

β€œGOP star Ron #DeSantis is overhauling education policy in #Florida.”

@ScottSoCal @GottaLaff As a teacher, I see his attack on education as shameful. He is taking the STUDENTS' RIGHTS to free and fair education. I don't even know what he means by CLASSICAL ED? It's truly a step back and the people of Florida need to understand the attack. He wants to disband the teachers union. So dangerous! Parents don't have Rights in FL. He is narrowing the parental rights by allowing singular challenges to ed. One parent makes the choice for a while school body? Unamerican

I think he's talking about the education I got in the 1970s, in Utah.
Slavery was probably pretty bad, at times, but we won't dwell on that. Manifest destiny was critical to the nation, hooray. Saving the heathens was a universal good.
US History skipped whole chapters, because the teacher just didn't see the point.

@ScottSoCal @GottaLaff I graduated Catholic HS in '99. Lowest 5% of my class. Hated school bc it never made sense to me. I received Classical Ed. It was horrible. Not until college in Hawaii did I fall in love with learning, so much so, I made it my career. #DietDonald doesn't get that America fell behind with classical Ed and education is not a one size fits all system. We want free thinkers who critically analyze subjects with facts and research. The kids of Florida are in trouble.
