This piece is fine for what it is. What it and others are understating or flat out missing is the link between religious fanaticism and anti-democratic anti-election white supremacism in the school #privatization push

To give serious space to people like DeAngelis (a ~30 yo lobbyist-w/PhD) to give “thoughts” is appropriate for what the #vouchers movement is but to quote him intellectually rather than a political actor misses the role rightwing think-tanks have played in election denialism

It’s esp problematic given the only real offset to #DeVos/DeAngelis is Mann himself who’s been dead since 1859 and isn’t even directly quoted at that.

Mostly it’s another example of the mistake treating privatization as a serious intellectual disagreement about the need/purpose for education. Today it’s a political, anti-democracy movement linked directly to Trumpism @BisforBerkshire @Edu_Historian

That the edu-Right is still screaming about #teachers unions is but one main example of this. Whatever else they are, unions are today the last line of defense not just for individual #educators but the full privatization of US schools.

Writing about divergent purposes of education without focus on the edu-Right’s political anti-democratic objectives is like writing a crime novel without naming the culprit or the victim. #edpolicy #edpolitics #vouchers #azed #miched #oklaed #wved #nhed
