One listener responds to last week’s discussion about vouchers and reports from the dark side in FL about what it’s like for parents who can’t trust the education system under Desantis. Then, is the USDOE really trolling us online with their insane social media posts? Yes. Yes, they are. What an utter embarrassment to the office and the profession. Lastly, we celebrate the people of Colorado voting to increase taxes on higher income folks in their state in order to preserve universal free meals in schools . In the face of so much right wing insanity, this is an important proof point that the people will support progressive, justice orientated legislation, even if it means making wealthier folks pay more.
