The Republican Party’s effort to defund public education, directing public dollars to privately owned schools, is the private theft of our public culture.
Not to mention the fact that when we separate students into private schools where they only have contact with individuals who share the same beliefs, we decrease the dialogue between individuals from diverse backgrounds. How can our country prosper when we do not challenge our children to consider the ideas of others as well as the differences that exist in our communities. Thank you for another great message, Phillip Gulley.
Thank you! I just copied and pasted some of your words to my Florida public office-holders, all so-called republicans. Surely there is a line, surely the tide will turn . . . .
This is a concise yet complete education on the matter of the Department of Education. As I read I could sense that behind a gossamer curtain there was a party going on, the Republican party, of course, and the people gathered to celebrate the anxiety and anger I am feeling. I’m not going to let them “win”, so will calm down and find my footing again. Anger is directed at myself and others who in the 90’s didn’t take seriously what the Republicans set as their goal: to get as. many on school boards and county commissions as possible. The warning was quite clear, yet we didn’t take it seriously enough to organize with the intention of stopping those for whom “creative thinking”, among other things, were marks of socialism
and had to be stopped. Project 2025 is designed to strip diversity, obviously, leaving me to wonder how and what teaching our most precious resources will have become. Thank you Phil for this. it is terrifying, and it is beautifully done.
