On Independence Day, President Trump signed the greatest expansion of the choice of universal private school in American history. In its reporting, the New York Times unnecessarily characterized a final-matches, which only tells the education savings accounts that opt-in as a “as”Wins for Democrats and Teachers Unions“Because blue states will not choose to participate.
However the President of the American Federation of Teachers and Recently resigned DNC members Randy Venningrton Blu State’s parents can see the school’s choice as “victory”, I suspect that the working class voters will agree.
In fact, it represents a political landmine for “victory” democrats.
I doubt Trump’s knowledge of the scheme of education savings accounts, but I should accept that I am only typing this sentence because I received a scholarship to participate in a private school many years ago.
When I was 16 years old, my drunken father committed suicide. I remember going to school on the first day after my father’s funeral, after being overwhelmed, numb and embarrassed. And I remember how my teachers felt safe and looked at me in such a way that the trajectory of my life changed.
My younger brother was not so lucky. He went to a separate school when our father died and joined a gang after leaving out.
I have first seen the effect of education dance on the edge of the razor of a child’s life. So I do what I do.
So I respect leaders like Democrat for Education Reform Chief George Elloza, who are arguing the voucher. But I have a healthy doubt about the implication of the public policy of scaling a wild-west National Education Savings Account Scheme with some regulatory railings to ensure educational quality-not to mention my faith in the separation of the separation of the state and state red flags or the promise of public education.
On the one hand, policy concerns, voters now face a Stark color-coded national partition-screen. In red states, you get free money for school of your choice. In blue states, you get what you get and you don’t worry.
Hearing the leaders of the teacher union and like the leaders of the teacher union His colleagueYou think the Charter School was “built as part of a secret conspiracy in an underground right -wing laboratory.Privatization“Public education. Was actually charter schools Originally proposed In 1988 by Al Shankar, the predecessor of his own American Federation of Teachers.
I worked in the White House for President Bill Clinton, which to be proud When only one was present in the US, Charter fled in schools. President Barack Obama later increased high quality charters as part of his bold Race at the top Agenda.
Charters are public schools, meaning that they are independent and secular, they cannot have admission requirements, and have strict regulatory controls Educational qualityThis is not like a Republican conspiracy to destroy public education for me.
I have been a long -time parents of a public school. My daughters have participated in our great neighborhood Los Angeles Unified School District School, as well as many high quality public charters. But we really had to do Win a lottery His charter to go to schools. This is because California Caps Charter Growth, because there are not many charters unions, as one In favor of Democratic Party Unions for teachers.
Between the progressive issues outside the education that WeaIngerton and I agree that Trump is a threat to democracy. This is why it is now time for a democratic moonlight to translate “high quality public schools” into a civil right.
To debate it Abundance moonlightOnas is on Democrats like me that doubts about education savings accounts to clarify a compelling option that can win back voters of working class.
Wingerton, which Biden and Kamla Harris have made the champion correctly in the Universal Prescool, Free Community College and Student Loan Relief. But the entire K-12 experience of a child is easily missing from that agenda.
In addition to scaling the choice of high-quality public school, our moonshot should be posted in the center of post-secondary, “equity” to “equity” from pivot, and parents-not party interests-at the center. This school begins with eliminating the presence boundaries that implicate children in unsuccessful schools; Extension of high quality careers and technical education; Universal tuition for Kovid generationSupport Reading scienceAnd finish the work Brown vs. Education Board By coding high quality public schools as one Civil rights For all children in America.
The good news for my party is that Democrats near A Strong bench The challenging party of national leaders with a record of conservative. This was a specialty-Bag-Fanklin Roosevelt of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama’s success only as two-period democratic presidents.
The bad news is that while Democrats have worked for a decade for a decade under Biden, Harris and Wingerton, Republicans are making a adventure for American education, Damocrates need to win back with a clear appeal to the same working class voters.
The ball is definitely in our court. Democratic leaders need a volley with a viable vision that speaks for the immediate needs of the working-class parents-to do the right thing only for children, but also to win power back.
For the sake of American democracy, Democrats should not accept education Independence Day for Trump.
