Florida is creating the playbook on education for at least half the country. Now, TFG has revealed his education plan, and he’s clearly going beyond even Florida. This is a deeply disturbing movement that more closely aligns with the Soviet Union or Germany under fascism. Yet, it’s getting a strong positive response in places. I don’t think educators or the opposition in general have figured out an effective alternative rhetoric. This is about dismantling education

77.7% of Black students borrow.

50% default within 12 years.

No one cares.

Much of the $1.6 trillion debt is held by Black students. Yes, I said trillion. With a "T." And yes, I said "debt held by Black kids," who are hired less and paid less.

The unspoken part of the US student loan forgiveness "debate," is racists thinking "I am fundamentally opposed to anything that would lower the suffering of Black people or prevent the siphoning of their wealth."

So I asked ChatGPT WHERE they found the the part in the license agreement that prohibits the use of the API for commercial purposes.. ChatGPT response.. here is the link (it redirects to a newer version) so it was using a pre-2020 version of the page (I think?) #chatgpt #openAI

The people shoveling billions of dollars at weapons we don't need or, quite often, don't even work are often the very same people who say we don't have enough money to ensure that hungry kids have a school lunch or working parents can afford healthcare.

This was exactly the trade-off of the Military Industrial Complex that Eisenhower warned us about.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies...a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

Listen

We are constantly pouring money into equipment we don't need because members of Congress don't want to lose those jobs in their district. Take the Abrams tanks, for example, this is from the 2nd time Congress overruled DOD, purchasing tanks we didn't need https://www.military.com/daily-news/2014/12/18/congress-again-buys-abrams-tanks-the-army-doesnt-want.html

In Ron DeSantis’s Florida, the girls are tracked, history is whitewashed, and books are banned.

Did you know that American police officers receive the fewest hours of training in the developed world? Are you aware that their training emphasizes violence much more than police training in other countries? Did you know that Americans are vastly more likely to die in the hands of police than citizens in any other democratic country--no matter what their race?

Those are just a few of the things I discovered researching this article.

Morning! Florida Republicans are in gaslighting mode, denying the book-banning. In reality, at least one county already is forming a volunteer police force to round up books they deem "woke." One book they hate? Michelle Obama's memoir. https://www.salon.com/2023/02/03/call-the-woke-busters-ron-desantis-sends-volunteer-army-to-snatch-books-from-students-hands/
