Why are Democrats opposing school choice for 20,000,000 students?

rhy are Democrat governors expected to run for president opposing school choice? That's the question Glenn Youngkin asked in this NY Post op-ed. Youngkin opened his op-ed by stating "Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, along with just about every other Democratic governor across America, are currently blocking over 20 million students from life-changing education opportunities."

That's an easy answer and the unions know it. The unions aren't in this for the kids. The teachers are but the unions? Not so much. The unions are in this to enrich teachers and their executives. In 2023, American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten and her executive team made millions:

  1. $569,012: Randi Weingarten, President, $458,966:
  2. Federick C Ingram $376,332
  3. Evelyn DeJesus, EVP $357,174
  4. Darrin Nedrow, Director of Organization and Field S $354,603
  5. Jessica Smith, Director, AFT’s Union Leadership Ins $331,292
  6. Michael S Powell, Asst to President for Communications $330,063
  7. Tear Jones Murphy, Chief of Staff $319,337(
This is worth checking out:

This is interesing:
Despite what Hobbs, Newsom, Pritzker, Moore, Shapiro and their teachers-union friends might say, letting parents decide what educational pathway is best for their kids is not a controversial statement. In fact, it’s popular. According to Democrats for Education Reform, 61% of Democrats — including 63% of black voters and 68% of Hispanic voters — support these commonsense scholarships.
At some point, people will notice that Democrats are on the wrong side of another important issue. You can't continue falling on the wrong side of 70%-30% issues. At some point, you must start getting things right. Right now, Democrats must ignore the DSA and start getting things right, especially with scholarships.

Kendall Quall's big mistake

Image
A loyal reader of this blog just sent me a screenshot touting Kendall Qualls. The screenshot is short on truth. What it lacks in truth, it makes up for in fiction. Here's Kendall's fiction: Kendall Qualls should be ashamed for spewing this BS. First, Qualls knows better than this. Jeff Johnson and Lisa Demuth have both confirmed that they're abiding by the Convention's endorsement. This appears to be Qualls attempting to be something he isn't. While I'm not disputing whether Mr. Qualls will abide by the endorsement, I'm calling BS that he's THE ONLY GOP CANDIDATE who will abide by the endorsement. This brings into question whether Mr. Qualls is willing to say anything to win. We don't need another candidate who'll put together fiction to win. We've had too many candidates who fit that description throughout the years. Next, we need people who fit J.C. Watts' description of character. Watts said that "the definition of character is d...

Proof that Tim Walz doesn't care about fraud or other crime

Image
Anyone that thinks that Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, doesn't care about preventing crime or fraud hasn't read this article . Alpha News is reporting that "The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) has confirmed that Dylan Adams, the fiscal policy analyst caught on video vandalizing Teslas in Minneapolis, is still employed by the state — meaning Minnesota taxpayers are footing the bill for his salary. In response to Alpha News inquiries, a DHS spokesperson said: "Dylan Adams is a current employee." Apparently, the Walz administration doesn't care that it's employing a vandal in its Department of Human Services. As for whether Adams "has faced consequences for racking up more than $21,000 in damage during work hours , the agency offered little transparency. 'No public data exists with respect to disciplinary action,' the spokesperson said." This reminds me of the old phrase I coined, which says 'It's impossible to...
