Truth In Education

Policy decisions have consequences, and taxpayers are only now beginning to see where some of those decisions lead. Homeschoolers beware! For every action, there is a consequence. Accepting government dollars today can mean government control tomorrow. @publicschoolext @TheRobertBshow @ALEXNEWMAN_JOU @thesamsorbo

This is why @TruthNEd has warned that the true impact of vouchers and ESAs goes far beyond school choice. Parents and taxpayers deserve to understand the long-term consequences of these policies before public dollars are permanently redirected into private systems with less transparency and accountability

When taxpayer dollars are moved into private education through vouchers or ESAs, who decides which schools qualify, what they teach, and how taxpayer money is used? Once public funding enters private systems, transparency decreases, and taxpayers will be forced to fund instruction they strongly oppose. @TheRobertBshow @ALEXNEWMAN_JOU @thesamsorbo @publicschoolext

Taxpayers will now pay $10,000 per Muslim child to attend an Islamic School in Texas We are literally forced to pay for our own takeover “Texas has now admitted for Islamic schools to their voucher program. This comes after a Barack Obama-appointed judge ruled that they had to extend their deadline to allow more private schools, mainly Islamic schools, to apply” “This comes after CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which has been designated or labeled as a terror organization by Governor Abbott in the state of Texas. This comes after they filed a lawsuit demanding taxpayer funds for these Islamic schools — They sued to make us pay them. — We now have to pay them to run their indoctrination centers,. This is not how this is supposed to go. We need a federal designation of the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. We need the federal designation and we need to get very serious about countering these threats right here in the homeland, because I'm gonna tell you, that's what I voted for.”

The Department Of Education posted this yesterday. Q: What is effectively the 5th largest bank in America? A: Department Of Education as student loan debt approaches 1.7 trillion.

🚨#BREAKING: A South Carolina mother just shared one of the most disturbing school gender transition stories I've read in a long time. Her 14-year-old son attended Beech Springs Middle School in Spartanburg SC. For OVER A YEAR, he was changing into girls' clothing at school, and changing back before his mom picked him up. It was apparently a daily operation, coordinating with another student to bring the clothes, multiple bathroom trips, and deliberate concealment from his parents every single day. Multiple staff members at school had to have seen this. You don't pull off daily clothing changes in a middle school without teachers noticing. But NOBODY called home to tell his parents. Nobody except one teacher. One teacher the previous year did her job, she noticed, she called the mom, and she followed South Carolina law H.4624, which explicitly requires school staff to notify parents when a student expresses gender identity confusion. That call is the only reason the family found out at all. They got their son into gender-related counseling over the summer of 2025. They were engaged, they were involved, they were actively trying to help their kid navigate something difficult. Then the school went silent again. The pattern continued into the next school year and nobody said a word. Fast forward to February 2026. The mom gets her son's hair cut. He cries in class. His teacher sits with him for 10 minutes while he tells her everything, that he wants long hair like a girl, that his parents won't affirm his gender identity, all of it. Again, South Carolina law H.4624 exists for exactly this moment. When a student expresses gender identity distress to a school employee, the law says the school SHALL notify the parents. But the teacher didn't call the mom. She called DSS. That same day, February 13, 2026, she filed a child protective services report against this family for "medical neglect..." Medical neglect because A) the boy allegedly coughed up blood and wasn't receiving care. B) Mental injury because the parents won't affirm a gender transition. And... I'm not even kidding C) making him do "manly chores." The mom asked her son what that meant. He said "cutting the grass." DSS showed up at their home on Valentine's Day weekend. Two days later, the family took their son and got a chest x-ray. His lungs were completely clear. He never coughed up blood. The allegation was fabricated. On February 19th, five days after the report was filed, DSS closed the case. Unfounded. No evidence of medical neglect. No evidence of mental injury. Nothing. So just to recap... A teacher had a 10-minute conversation with a 14-year-old, decided his parents' refusal to affirm a gender transition constituted child abuse, invented or wildly exaggerated a medical claim to make the report actionable, violated state law by never calling the parents, and weaponized DSS on a family over Valentine's Day weekend. And the school's response? The principal wrote back defending the teacher. Called the DSS report "appropriate based on medical neglect suspicion." The report that was closed completely unfounded in five days. The report based on a medical claim that was disproven with a chest x-ray. That report. Appropriate The principal also mentioned that staff had received "gender identity training" and that the school followed "applicable South Carolina statutes." But the H.4624 violation, the actual law that was actually broken, was never addressed. Not once. The superintendent promised a full investigation by a Chief Administrative Officer. Instead, the principal, the direct supervisor of the teacher in question, provided the only written response, and used it to defend her own employee. This school watched a student secretly change genders during the school day for over a year and chose not to tell his mother. That's not an accident. You don't miss daily clothing changes in a middle school. They saw it. They allowed it. They made a decision, collectively and repeatedly, that the parents didn't need to know. Then when that same family's values came up in a conversation, the response wasn't to pick up the phone and call mom like the law requires. The response was to report them for child abuse. The silence for a year and the DSS report aren't two separate events. They're the same event. They both reflect the same institutional decision: we know better than these parents, and we will act accordingly, whether that means hiding things from them or weaponizing the state against them. This family did everything right. They got their son counseling. They stayed engaged. They were present. They got a chest x-ray to disprove a fabricated allegation. DSS came into their home, looked at how they parent, and walked out five days later with literally nothing. But the school is STILL calling it appropriate. The mom has filed complaints with both the school and the South Carolina Department of Education. The school defended the teacher. The state has been silent for over a month. Her son is now homeschooled, by the way and she says he's thriving. The school literally weaponized the state against a family for cutting their son's hair. Let that sink in.

No parent should have to discover that their child has been living a double life at school—facilitated, concealed, and protected by the very adults entrusted with their care. When schools choose secrecy over transparency, they are not supporting children—they are separating them from their parents. What happened here is not just a failure of communication. It reflects a deeper shift in authority. When a school ignores a law requiring parental notification, allows ongoing concealment for over a year, and then escalates to a state report instead of calling the parent, it reveals something far more concerning than a single bad decision. It shows a system that increasingly sees parents as obstacles rather than partners. And when “gender identity training” is cited while actual state law is ignored, we have to ask: what is really guiding these decisions—a Marxist ideology? TIE agrees that children facing confusion or distress need care, support, and truth. But that care should never come at the expense of parental involvement, nor should the state be used as a weapon against families who are actively engaged and seeking help. When a school ignores a law requiring parental notification, allows concealment to continue for over a year, and then escalates to a state report instead of calling the parent, it reveals something far more concerning than a single bad decision. It shows a system that increasingly sees parents as obstacles rather than partners.

I didn't learn The Lord's Prayer in Sunday School. I LEARNED THE LORD'S PRAYER IN PUBLIC SCHOOL! We said it every morning, before the Pledge of Allegiance! We said a blessing before lunch, and read from Scripture. The 10 Commandments hung on the wall. And nobody got shot

@HeadWarriorTWM @sccenglish Equity is being used to operationalize the UN’s vision of education—where outcomes are aligned across populations, systems are standardized, and student data drives lifelong workforce placement.

@TruthNEd @sccenglish Equity. Destroys everything. It's heartbreaking.

@HeadWarriorTVM Barry, I agree—academic accountability matters. But when systems remove consequences and undermine teacher authority, even the best teachers are set up to fail. We hear from teachers every day who are deeply concerned about student performance, but their hands are tied. Teachers have anonymously shared with us that grades are being adjusted and discipline data is being deleted to protect school ratings with their state. Unfortunately, many teachers are too fearful to come forward and hold the system accountable. Truth In Education is calling on the National Association of Attorneys General @NatlAssnAttysGn to launch a formal investigation into this potential misconduct.

An 18-year-old (nearly 19) illegal immigrant from El Salvador, Israel Flores Ortiz, has been charged with nine counts of misdemeanor assault and battery after allegedly groping 12 female classmates at Fairfax High School in Virginia, about 20 miles outside Washington, D.C. Ortiz, enrolled as an 11th-grade junior, reportedly snuck up behind girls in crowded hallways during class changes and grabbed them between the legs. This is behavior parents say continued for months, far beyond “horseplay.” One victim’s mother described it as deliberate groping of private areas, with about 12 girls reporting similar incidents. The official offense date is February 25, 2026, but complaints predated that; he was arrested March 7 and appeared in court March 12. Parents criticized Fairfax County Public Schools for downplaying the acts—Principal Georgina Aye’s letter called them “touching students’ buttocks,” which families said was an attempted cover-up, minimized the severity and only came after demands for answers. The school stated it prioritizes safety and works with law enforcement, citing privacy laws for limited comment. Ortiz entered the U.S. illegally in 2024 and was released under Biden administration policy. ICE lodged a detainer for deportation, but the Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office did not honor it due to sanctuary policies under Gov. Abigail Spanberger. The prosecutor agreed that bail and release was fair. However, the judge denied bail after reviewing surveillance video, deeming release conditions insufficient for public safety. Charges carry up to one year in jail. Sources: dhs.gov official X account ice.gov official X account wjla.com abc news 7 YouTube foxnews.com

@stevemagness Classroom chaos isn’t random—it’s the result of policies that replaced discipline with ideology. Teachers are losing authority, and something else is stepping in. truthined.substack.com/p/georgia-teac…

Follow up with more info: The data isn't perfect. And yes, the x-axis needs fixed (it's not my graph.) But follow up data including 2023 and 2024, shows the same trend, where satisfaction does not increase. Why does this occur? What can we do? In no particular order: 1. Pay teachers more. Incentives should align for good teachers to keep teaching. 2. Increase the status of the profession. We need more & better talent. We've made teaching low status. 3. Address combative parenting-teacher relationships. 4. Behavior issues have skyrocketed 5. We've outsourced too much to schools. Schools have to do and handle everything. They become de-facto mental health, behavioral, etc. places. 6. Admin bloat. 7. Tech in the classroom was a mistake. Social media is ruining both kids and parents. Essentially, when you teach in a classroom, you've got: -People telling you that you're indoctrinating kids. -Parents in denial saying Jimmy would never do that. -Way too much bureaucracy, no autonomy. So the good talent leaves, because the pay sucks and environment sucks. We've essentially created environments that go against everything we know about motivation and thriving: autonomy, competency, and belonging. We've created spaces that are controlling, adversarial, with little room to grow. Politicians have made this worse. By using education as a lightning rod to create us vs. them. All while passing legislation that creates bureocracy and paperwork like crazy. This has occurred in every state, red and blue. In places with unions and without. Education is everyone's business. It makes for a better society. source: fs24.formsite.com/edweek/images/…

In 2008, 62% of teachers said they were very satisfied with their job. In 2022, that dropped to 12%. We've got a serious problem brewing in education...

@JamesAFurey Let’s pull back the curtain to the modern day classroom. open.substack.com/pub/truthined/…

Teachers have simultaneously: A) been stripped of the ability to do anything about poorly behaved students B) been pressured to pass students no matter what C) been tasks with taking on more and more responsibilities that used to belong to parents D) been vilified and blamed for every problem in society. So…why the job dissatisfaction? It’s a mystery!
