Attacks on public education could swing elections in Democrats favor. After decades of conservatives defunding public education, there's a backlash brewing. And it’s happening in Oklahoma and other conservative states across the country.

1. Just curious about teacher pay???

Do teachers in private Christian schools get paid well? Are they able to unionize? Do they get paid time off for maternity leave? vacation? Some sort of retirement benefit?

3. One thing we can be sure of

After Covid and mandated home schooling, Many many parents want no more of that teaching stuff. And most can not afford private schools. So I think, just my opinion, very many are pissed about GQP plan to end public ed. except MAGA’s. They want no schools, but many of em like the free day care for Daryl and Daryl in their teens.

4. Huge issue in FL and everywhere--all about tax-payer money

transferred from public schools to private, corporate, (sometimes) religious schools that can make their own rules without public input. And our tax money then used by these groups to buy compliant Conservative politicians.

5. THE AWFUL BETSY DEVOS

As Trump's Secretary of Education she supported private schools and actually refused to visit any public schools. She knows nothing about public schools because she never attended one and her children all attended private schools. She has literally said that she opposes public schools because they don't teach religion.
