    As an educator, I wish I could be a radical Marxist. The good news is I keep seeing the good ol’ hammer and sickle on profile pics and etc so hopefully social media is doing a good job at educating them since I would get fired if I did.

    Edit: some kind Hexbear post the best h&s sticker, please!

    A NATIONAL (USA TODAY) BESTSELLER!

    ‘A great guide to help moms and dads take back control of their children’s education from the radical Marxists ruining our schools” — President Donald J. Trump

    From the leader of the online army in America’s parental rights movement comes the real story of how moms and dads across the country are turning the tide against radical activists in public schools.

    It’s no secret that our government-run public education system has held generations of Americans hostage. The teachers unions—the government’s stormtroopers—have been hard at work running a mass misinformation campaign to convince parents that because this is how it has always been, this is how it has to be. But here’s what you may not realize: the parents are winning, and we have entered the death spiral of the education dictatorship. The school choice revolution is here, and moms and dads are successfully restoring parental rights in education, one state, one school district at a time.

    In The Parent Revolution, Dr. Corey A. DeAngelis–public enemy #1 of the teachers’ unions – takes readers inside this movement like no one else can. As Vox reported in late 2023, DeAngelis has become “the public face” of the effort, “traveling from state to state, holding rallies, making media appearances, and tweeting constantly.” Or as another education voice put it, “No one in education policy, advocacy, or activism has ever lived rent-free in more heads at once than Corey DeAngelis.”

    As America’s most prominent and influential advocate of school choice, DeAngelis unapologetically argues why parents and political leaders must lean into the culture war taking place in schools. He exposes the hypocritical elites who are content to hold other people’s children captive to poorly run government schools while sending their own children to the best private and charter schools out there. And most importantly, he equips readers with the ability to make sure the potent forces of the educational industrial complex don’t regain their footing.

      The teachers unions—the government’s stormtroopers

      Yeah they’re on opposite sides of the bargaining table when it comes to a new contract getting signed but don’t let that fool you!

        One of the most scorching takes I ever saw from a my-hero cultist was that my-hero was actually working class because he works so hard and that teachers were the actual authoritarians.

          Working class: jeans, country music

          Elites: telling me how to write cursive

          (Does anyone seriously believe the “works so hard” canard? Actually, don’t answer that, I’m already quite sad)

            Even the Zucc does that shit. debord-tired

            Elites: telling me how to write cursive

            You’d be surprised how many people internalize that belief and take it into adulthood. Mrs. Meanface leaves an impression on some people.

            As a former educator, I personally am glad cursive is mostly phased out and probably isn’t going to be taught at all in most places anymore, that said.

    • But here’s what you may not realize: the parents are winning, and we have entered the death spiral of the education dictatorship.

      Sounds like it’s another example of the “tell people what they want to hear” grift.
