They drained the schools of money, vilified teachers. They ensured nobody would learn critical thinking so they’d be vulnerable to manipulation, American and otherwise. Now they want to turn schools into Wild West shootouts.
When they say they care about education, they mean they care how to monetize it, how to gerrymander curriculums like they do voter districts. They don’t care about students, about teachers, about the future, about safety.
They care about how education can be used to manipulate the future. They care about school the way someone cares about a fruit they plan to juice.
This arming teacher’s idea isn’t about safety. It’s about getting Blackwater and corporations into the schools with billion dollar contracts. It’s about exploiting a problem needing a solution.
Arming teachers is about further weakening public schools until nobody in their right mind wants to send their kids there and they can finally privatize the future.
We’ve had our elections infiltrated because of how we treat education. Our democracy and our very reality are endangered. And this is just another step in this cruel and unnecessary path.
Get assault rifles off the street and take the billions you’re so ready to spend on guns for teachers and invest it in raising their salaries and improving facilities.
