Kentucky, elect Trump / Bevin / McConnell / Paul, and this is what you get…
LOL…and where’s DeVos? On a yacht somewhere enjoying a fruity beverage paid for by a Christian charter school lobbyist?
Kentucky has schools?!?!?!?!
A coordinated campaign is underway in Kentucky to smear Teachers in their efforts to protect Education.
State republicans in the legislature are partnering with the radical right-wing Bluegrass Institute for Public Policy Solutions in order to specifically suppress teacher organizing efforts and to impugn their character.
The governor also directed the state police to lock out all but a few protesters from the capital building.
There are things I would suggest changing in the culture and management of public schools. I worked in the field for a long time. But JFC it’s a simple and provably true concept that you get what you damn well pay for when you hire teachers. Good teachers and good administrators give you better results no matter what. The culture at home matters too, of course, but even in disadvantaged places good schools matter. Paying for them is the best thing a state can do for itself, and cheaping out is among the worst.
