First, I understand there are many decent republicans who understand how hard it is to be a teacher and the important job that they do, but if they are being silent, if they are allowing all the attacks on teachers and public education to go unchecked, then they are just as bad as the ones spreading the filth. Their silence has gone from complicity to support.
Asked who the most dangerous person in the world was, former secretary of state and undoubtedly future presidential aspirant Mike Pompeo said Randi Weingarten, president of the teachers union.
Republicans have been running on demonizing and lying about public education for a couple of years now. When CRT began to lose steam, they pivoted to teachers grooming children to switch their gender identities both under a backdrop of teachers teaching kids to hate their country.
Irresponsible, egregious, and nothing but lies, and why? To gin up a willfully ignorant fact-free electorate, and they do it so they can assume power, not caring about the damage they do, the lives they kneecap, and sometimes destroy along the way.
Are there problems in public education? Absafreakinglutely but many of these problems are created by the same people who want to profit off of public education either monetarily or through the acquisition of power and both groups aren't above spreading lies to do so.
Pompey has the audacity to say, the "filth they are teaching our kids" when the reality, it is he and his party that is spreading filth, that are spreading lies, and that is spreading hate and shame on the so-called good republicans that know this and remain silent. Shame on them all.
So who really is is the most dangerous person in the world? It is a tie with all the people who would spread lies and demonize others just so they can benefit.
