🧵 for #MIpol reporters: all fall I called Ducey MVP of #schoolvouchers and here he’s getting that actual award from Jeb Bush’s ExcelInEd
That group damage to #miched is huge. They’re behind 3rd Grade Fail modeled on #FloridaEd. Snyder gave them literal seat at the table

ExcelInEd will lead the fight against repeal of 3rd Grade Retention in the new #mileg. @PaulaMEAPres @mrobmused
Expect bogus “inside” stories like this one, which got started pre-Whitmer #migov and then released early in her term to keep foot on gas

ExcelInEd *seems* safe because they’re moderate relative to crazy Dixon-type book ban howls today and have impressive array of moderate funders you’d expect from a Bush-led org.
And as an org in many ways they are. I’d take them over @BetsyDeVos any day.

But the policies they push are DeVos-lite, and in a sense more destructive because harder to see their extremes.
It was impossible to work on MI #edpolicy circa 2014-15 in the lead up to 3rd grade passage without dealing with them.

Point is: outside groups have always taken interest in #miched and as here, much of within-state far-Right policy agendas from #azed to #floridaed are nationally coordinated strategy cloaked in ground-level parents rights rhetoric.
