    It’s no secret what Republicans stand for. I worry that there might be enough of them to continue unraveling the basic fabric of this society.

      It’s really as simple as doing what you can to increase you areas local public education dollar.

      It’s just an education thing. We need to spend more on education, and the problem will slowly go away. Teachers need more money, schools need more money, our colleges need more money. It’s getting bad.

      There’s a reason Devos did what she did to public education, and it has everything to do with her brother being a founding member of Blackrock.

      The military spend is stupid and the education spend is a joke. But the lack of education breeds the voters who salute the military spend blindly.

        We should be allowed to sue these individuals for working against the agency they were put in charge of.

          I think there are mechanisms for that tbh. It’s disheartening.

          She should have never had a high level govt position with a family member so highly invested in something so political. Clear conflicts of interest.
