The Trump administration came to the Supreme Court on Wednesday morning, asking the justices to pause an order by a federal judge in Massachusetts that requires the Department of Education to reinstate more than $65 million in training grants meant to address teacher shortages that it terminated in February because they funded programs that have diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.

    They’re not. This would primarily be a blow to PUBLIC education, which is what this kleptocracy hates. Private schools will work to snap up teachers, and several dozen people who own the private school networks will get a little bit richer. The knock on effect of “uneducated people are easier to lie to and manipulate” is just that - an unintended knock on.

      Private schools pay shit wages, they’re much less than public schools in most places.

      And that sucks because all teachers get paid so much less as a whole than they should.

      Now that special education funds will be gone due to that money essentially solely coming from the federal government, public school teachers are going to have a MUCH harder time teaching without the special needs students not having the services they need. It ends up severely impacting the entire class.
