Thanks to @JamesTHarris for inviting me on his show today to address Superintendent @RealTomHorne's concerns about my op-ed urging him to fight back against AG @KrisMayes's attack on AZ's education choice policy (ESAs). I stand by my critique. A 🧵 1/11

kfyi.iheart.com/featured/the-c… As I explained in the @amerdailyindy, AG Mayes sent a letter to the AZ Dept of Education demanding that they impose new restrictions on the ESA program that make it harder for parents to use. ADE is capitulating to those demands. 2/

There’s a long history of conspiracy theories in the Arab world re: animals that Israel has supposedly trained to spy on or attack Arabs.

In this 🧵 I’ll share several. Feel free to add more. What’s your favorite? Most famous is the Mossad’s spy dolphin, Lt. Col. Flipper. Image

The new Harvard-Harris poll shows just how much CRT has rotted the brains of America's youth.

Universities and K­–12 schools are pushing a Marxist worldview that divides everyone into two categories: “oppressors” and the “oppressed.” 🧵 1/6

Image CRT primes its adherents to adopt antisemitic beliefs. Instead of celebrating the success of minority groups, CRT treats any success as inherently suspicious. If Jews are disproportionately successful, CRT says that they must be disproportionately oppressive. 2/ Image

Students at @Princeton today were shouting “globalize the intifada” and “there is only one [final?] solution: intifada revolution!”

Hamas showed us what “intifada” means: mass murder, beheading children, gang rape, taking hostage babies, women, and the elderly. #TheWestIsNext They also shouted “by any means necessary” — again, Hamas showed us what “any means” means.

And they threw is false accusations that Jews are “settler-colonialists” on the Jewish homeland where Jews have lived continuously for 3,500+ years.

U.S. academics at top universities are serving as "useful idiots" for Hamas.

For those wondering how Jew-hatred has gotten so rampant in universities, a big part of the problem is federal funding of antisemitic programming. A 🧵 1/14

Arizona Gov. @katiehobbs wants you to believe school choice is “bankrupting the state.” If anything, the Empowerment Scholarship Accounts policy saves money. A 🧵 Image With an ESA, parents can use a portion of their child’s state education funds—typically about $8,000 a year—to pay for private-school tuition, tutoring, textbooks, online courses, home-school curricula, special-needs therapy and other expenses.

As education choice policies sweep the nation, critics are raising concerns about the potential for waste, fraud, and abuse. Yet a closer look reveals that these policies offer a model for accountability. A 🧵 A dozen states now have K-12 education savings account (ESA) policies that allow families to customize their kids' education. ESAs can pay for private school tuition, tutoring, textbooks, homeschool curricula, special needs therapy, and more.

Opponents of school choice claim that K-12 education savings accounts only benefit families whose kids were already in private schools, but their data is outdated and distorted.

The reality is that most school choice students would otherwise have been attending public school. 🧵 Image Choice opponents have claimed that 70% to 89% of school choice students were already in private school. That is completely false.

In fact, the majority of kids in school choice programs were not previously enrolled in a private school.

The @nytimes has taken a brake from bashing Jews to distort Judaism to push a radical ideology. But anyone who has a basic knowledge of Jewish law knows that this is absolutely false. 🧵 Image Judaism recognizes two sexes, period. "And God created man in His image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." - Genesis 1:27

Jewish law also recognizes the existence of several aberrations. All relate to physical traits that are not chosen.

BREAKING: Florida's House Bill 1 will expand K-12 education savings accounts to ALL Florida students.

Opponents of school choice claim that (1) it doesn't benefit rural kids b/c there are no alternatives to the district schools and that (2) it hurts district schools because so many kids would leave for those alternatives.

What's the truth? 🧵 1/11 These claims are mutually exclusive. They can't both be true simultaneously.

But as @matthewladner & I detail in a new @Heritage report, they both can be--and actually are--false. 2/

On Friday, @sos_arizona declared a “historic victory.”

But by Monday, SOS was conceding defeat.

What happened? The parent-led #DeclineToSign movement thwarted SOS's attempts to block the expansion of education choice, then SOS torched their credibility at a press conference. 1/ SOS claimed they handed in 142K signatures to put the Empowerment Scholarship Account expansion on the ballot. They needed 119K.

But according to a tally by @GoldwaterInst & @azpolicy, SOS actually turned in fewer than 90K. 2/

Earlier this week, the NY Times launched an assault on Hasidic yeshivas, claiming they leave students unprepared to earn a living.

Yesterday's SCOTUS decision in Carson v. Makin was rightly decided but not revolutionary. Indeed, the justices themselves emphasized how "unremarkable" it was, given that it flowed directly from the logic of the Trinity Lutheran and Espinoza decisions. 1/ The core of the decision was this line from Espinoza: "A State need not subsidize private education. But once a State decides to do so, it cannot disqualify some private schools solely because they are religious."

Yesterday, SCOTUS merely said, "Yes, we really meant that." 2/
