Those moves in 2020 to keep kids away from their schools and their friends wasn't that bad, really. Right wingers are to blame for the "moral panic." Unbelievable.
My God. The comment section of that piece of garbage he has the audacity to call journalism is enough to make me want to start smoking again after 15 years without a cigarette. Lord forgive me for what I would do to any one of these people in a locked room and with no consequences....
Closing schools was the single most draconian measure of covid “protocols.” The negative impact to a whole generation will reverberate for decades. The fools who implemented it KNOW THIS but will never admit to a mistake that literally destroyed lives because their conscience died with covid.
I'm heartened to hear about Moms for Liberty demanding that parents determine children's curriculum. My vision of education in my caret system does the same, with children choosing some and earning the right to choose more based on taking responsibility in the home.
In my ultra liberal town, the rate of kids with chronic school absence is now at 30%. 30%! Since I want this system to fail, especially the university-driven curricula, that makes me happy. Let it crash and burn.
outrageously misinformed and simplistic viewpoint espoused by crotchety Mr. Ehrenreich.
"The decline (in satisfaction with schools in general) was entirely among Republican and Republican-leaning nonparents. Since nonparents don’t generally have any direct experience of the schools, the decline in their approval must have been shaped by what they heard and read in the media and social media or heard from politicians."
Most likely this miserable old man has no interaction with other people. If he did, he could recognize that educational failures impact an entire community. That's why we all pay taxes to support local schools, not just parents. Childless business owners and managers and their organizations are negatively impacted when schools fail to produce "graduates" capable of basic written and spoken communication and math skills. Ehrenreich is very clearly living in a Marxist vacuum, parroting the party line, divorced from reality.
