71% of tonight's #DemDebate participants sent their own kids to private schools or attended private schools themselves

So why do they fight against similar options for the less fortunate?🤔

• Biden
• Warren
• Steyer
• Buttigieg
• Yang
Elizabeth Warren sent her son to Haverford in Pennsylvania.

Yet she fights hard against private school choice for others.

Tuition: $40,400
Joe Biden sent his kids to Archmere Academy.

So why does he fight against school choice for others?🤔

Tuition: $28,800
Tom Steyer does not support private school choice for others.

BUT he sent his kids to San Francisco University High School ($49,496).

Why doesn't he want the least advantaged to have similar opportunities?🤔
Pete exclusively went to private schools.

His husband also taught at a private school that accepts low-income students using a school choice program.

So why does Pete oppose private school choice programs publicly?🤔

Yang graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy ($55,402).

Good for him!

Hey @AndrewYang how do you feel about universal basic EDUCATION income (Education Savings Accounts)?

If Yang supports private school choice for others he should say it proudly!

The Arizona school with the teacher linking conservative values to fascism and genocide is apparently trying to ignore the problem

From a student: "Multiple teachers concluded that the goal was to move on and sweep this away"
Another student:

"The plan is to bury this situation"
More information from the mother here:

The Arizona Department of Education just released personal identifying information of about 7,000 students using a school choice program -

To a group that's against the program.

This is a huge violation of federal student privacy laws.
More information here:
azcapitoltimes.com/news/2020/01/2…
"Save Our Schools" acquired the information on the 7,000 families.

This organization fights school choice as hard as possible.

I wonder why they wanted personal information on school choice families?🤔

This is a huge rights violation.

The school with the teacher linking conservative values to fascism and genocide BLAMED THE STUDENT

The "solution" is to move the student to another teacher.
The parents are thankfully fighting back (see email below).

But it shouldn't have to be like this.

All families should have an exit option

We need school choice now.
Students are messaging the parents

"That was the right thing to do"

"She has made some pretty bold statements which are completely untrue about the right side"

We took a gander at #DemDebate/#DemDebate8/#DemocraticDebate traffic for the Feb 7 debate. Volume was lower than the previous debate (peaks at 3.5K tweets/minute vs 5K), possibly due to the debate being on a Friday night. We saw little in the way of automation.

@ZellaQuixote Which candidates were discussed most during the 8th #DemDebate? @BernieSanders, followed by @PeteButtigieg, @JoeBiden, and @ewarren, with all seven participants showing up in more #DemDebate tweets than the candidates who didn't make the debate.
@ZellaQuixote @BernieSanders @PeteButtigieg @JoeBiden @ewarren Retweet network for #DemDebate etc. Traffic is split into a left-wing cluster and a right-wing cluster. The right-wing accounts focused on Biden and Buttigieg, while the left-wing accounts mostly discussed Sanders and Warren (who was behind Biden and Buttigieg in total volume.)

The #DemDebate is starting any minute now. I'll be live-tweeting again.
You know where I'm at for this #DemDebate: @KamalaHarris is my favorite. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing many of the other candidates, too, particularly Castro, Booker and Gillibrand.

Hopefully Gabbard drops out after tonight.
@KamalaHarris It's 5:12 and we just go to the first commercial break... before the opening statements.
