It is a tragedy what DCPS is doing. Ripping books from teachers and students alike. The thing is, it didn’t have to happen the way it did. If DCPS would have just reached out to the state, they would have learned classroom libraries didn’t have to be cleared or cataloged till May 31st when the school year is basically over, or maybe they did and all this chaos and consternation is by design.
Does it matter if Greene is a homophobe attacking the LGBTQ community or just going along with what she believes the state wants, too cowardly to stand up for some of our most vulnerable children? No, it doesn’t because the results are the same.
Does it matter if Greene thinks veteran teachers aren’t worth protecting or defending, or aren’t worth treating fairly, or if she just mindlessly went along with the state's scheme to cut their salaries to raise starting salaries? No, it doesn’t because the results are the same.
Does it matter if Greene thinks the whitewashing of history or limiting how teachers can teach is a good thing or if she believes the governor walks on water and can do no wrong? No, because the result of kids not getting the education they deserve is the same.
So at the end of the day does it matter if the Greene administration was just incompetent by purging classroom libraries 5 months before they needed to or just mean by purging classroom libraries 5 months before they needed to? No, because the result is the same, a district in chaos with rudderless leadership.
Friends, I couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried.
We could and should be doing better.
