Wait wait wait...does the @nytimes piece on the Providence schools being some sort of shining star of having buildings open really not mention it’s under state receivership?
I mean, it doesn’t even have a nodding acquaintance with local governance right now.
I know it’s cool to blame the teachers unions (as they say, that train is never late), but local governance has had a boatload to say about pandemic decisions, and Providence literally DOES NOT HAVE THAT ABILITY right now.
And an article lauding Raimondo that doesn’t talk about her having to apologize to the state superintendents?
Or that she offered to help parents sue their local school districts?
Or that she offered to help parents sue their local school districts?
Look, Providence is not my hometown, and honestly there are only so many governors being disappointed in me I can cope with at the same time, but it *is* right down the road, and “the noble Governor made the best decision for the wee bairns” storyline is a little rich.
