Maybe as reporters and pundits learn that the vast majority of teachers have never taught critical race theory they'll also realize that Republican radicals spread these lies because they hate public schools and want to get rid of them.

Ironical element of right’s sudden fever to take back the school boards is that for orgs driving this bus, end goal isn’t just *teach more conservative stuff in schools* - it’s to get rid of public education as an institution, including school boards

The Tennessee State Board of Education has set the state’s minimum teacher salary at $38,000 for the upcoming school year. That’s $49 more than the current average minimum salary, according to a story in Chalkbeat. tnedreport.com/2021/06/snails…

Things are accelerating in a scary and awful way. But it's also true that we hear constantly from all sorts of people and organizations that teachers can't be trusted and so must be observed/measured/monitored for the *right* reasons

Wondering how school board protests morphed from anti-mask to anti-equity in 15 minutes? Lots of clues in this from @palan57 curmudgucation.blogspot.com/2021/07/moms-f…

"That’s right, school privatization is coming to TN in suburban and rural districts whether voters want it or not. While Lee’s voucher scheme is bogged down in court, Lee is acting unilaterally to charterize Tennessee’s public schools." -@TheAndySpears tnedreport.com/2021/05/welcom…

The ASD promised to raise the bottom 5% of schools in the state to the top 25% within 5 years. It raised one school to the bottom 6% and the rest remained bottom 5%. But the schools are now charter schools, which was the real goal all along. Don’t be fooled by the lies.
