Baltimore Sun trashes racist and classicist camp that wants to use the pandemic to ‘gut’ public school funding

That last sentence reads “despite the racism and classicism that suggests,” in case the tweet got cut off.

Their piece is in response to a bill in Maryland that would allow families to take their children's education dollars elsewhere if their school doesn't reopen in person:https://t.co/JcY2aoXWcc

“Maryland bill seeks to use the pandemic to gut public school funding.”

What kind of braindead editorial writer thinks *closed schools* are vital to collective well-being? https://t.co/Bw1UrxIytM

Love how they point out “Tax Burdens” but refuse to bring up how poorly public schools use the money given to them which is the real issue as currently there is no incentive to change that

Someone needs to point out that the Baltimore Public School System educates approximately 0% of students to proficiency every year.

It left out the Nazism and white supremacism. Unbelievable

Them: We've never been more unequal in the US than now.

Also them: The public school system reduces inequality.

Top notch straw man. Very useful when you have an editorial to write and are up against a deadline.

The schools themselves are not the tax burden, the bureaucracy of government education and every parasitic education NGO are the tax burdens.

Nonsensical. The tax burden would remain about the same if we funded students directly. What’s racist and classist is not giving all students the same opportunity for a quality education.

Yeah, it’s totally racist to suggest that poor people (and minorities) have choices that meet their individual needs. We’ve truly entered clown world.
