Public Education ATTACK Funded By Billionaire Repubs Trying To Create A Right Wing Christian Nation

Billionaire Republicans are spearheading an effort to dismantle public education. Their primary motive isn't educational reform but rather targeting teachers unions, which are significant donors to the Democratic party. Additionally, they aim to promote a right-wing Christian agenda by diverting resources to conservative schools using public funding.

Tennessee teacher here! You got it right!!! I left the public school because of the right wing bs. I've started the only secular inclusive high school with 50% of my students on 100% scholarship because I saw a massive need to bring this to my community of students. I adamantly opposed the voucher program too because it was not designed to help the students who actually need it.

[@Fruit17-ip4vl]

You are right Adriane! They have closed and consolidated several public schools in my state due to a dwindling population. There is a severe teacher shortage and many parents that are able to homeschool their children are doing that or they are sending their children to private schools! The gifted and talented students are in the Magnet schools. The rest of the students are left in regular public schools with dwindling funding . I was a teacher and it is devastating!

This is the richest County in Florida and they are cutting Teachers and mainly in Arts and Music and increasing classroom size. Planning on having only 1 Arts teacher to teach Orchestra, Jazz, Marching Band, etc. They are putting everything in place to make sure the Public School System in Florida fails. They are also moving funds using vouchers to private and religious schools. We are in a desperate situation.

[@knicheygil]

IMO. They want to eliminate tax funding education. Soon parents must pay to send kids to school. And if you can't pay and the child is at least 12, they join the workforce. This is why states are slow rolling with raising the minimum wage. Kids dont need minimum wages because they don't pay rent or mortgage but they CAN contribute to the household.

[@stewrobb2329]

And then they’ll wonder why the US is falling behind the rest of the world.

[@RupertLaLageIV]

@knicheygil Exactly. The Republican legislature in Austin, Tx. is considering doing away with property taxes for homeowners and other property owners who pay the bulk of education related taxes, not the corporations or large businesses which pay little or nothing in comparison. In Arkansas, Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is just fine with the elimination of child labor protections; large corporate farms and industries in her state employ migrant children--the cheapest of cheap labor. While the Republicans scream about immigration, they, since the Reagan-Bush era amnesty signing, have thumbed their noses at existing laws prohibiting businesses from hiring undocumented or illegal workers from Mexico and South America. The destruction of the middle class, the inability of others to attain it, the elimination of unions which built the middle class after WWII, and so-called 'right to work' laws, are each deliberate measures to keep wages stagnant and to control and exploit workers. Republicans want to take us back to the antebellum, and the robber baron days after the Civil War.

[@heathervandewalle8954]

Formerly people who wanted their kids to go to private school, whether religious or secular, had to pay for this themselves. It was a mistake to allow tax dollars to be taken from public schools to be used for private schools with "vouchers" and other methods. This creates substandard public education. But this group of politicians has been doing all they can to benefit the rich, the entitled and those who affiliate with certain religious groups. Many more taxpayers have their children go to the public schools than those in those "special not so special" groups. It also flies in the face of seperation of church and state. Tax dollars should not be used to fund religious schools or those that promote their own doctrine. They can teach their kids what they want in Sunday school.

[@RupertLaLageIV]

A little history: Texans have long been concerned about the education of their children. The Texas Declaration of Independence in 1836 listed the failure of the Mexican government "to establish any public system of education, although possessed of almost boundless resources..." among the reasons for severing political ties with Mexico. The first Anglo-American public school law in Texas was enacted in 1840 and provided for surveying and setting aside four leagues (17,712 acres) of land in each county to support public schools. Later, the state constitution of 1845 provided that one-tenth of the annual state tax revenue be set aside as a perpetual fund to support free public schools. In 1845, a new school law set aside as a permanent school fund $2 million of the $10 million in five-percent U.S. Indemnity bonds received in settlement of Texas' boundary claims against the United States. After the Civil War and Reconstruction, the new state constitution of 1876 set aside 45 million acres of public domain for school support and directed that the income from the new Permanent School Fund be invested in bonds. In 1884, the school law again was rewritten. The office of state superintendent was re-created, the state ad valorem tax was affirmed, and the Permanent School Fund was to be invested in county and other bonds to increase income. Almost 100 years later, in 1983, Texas voters approved a constitutional amendment that provides for the guarantee of school district bonds by the Permanent School Fund. On approval by the commissioner of education, bonds properly issued by a school district are fully guaranteed by the corpus of the Fund. (Source: TEA, Texas Education Agency.)
