School choice champion Corey DeAngelis destroys group that tried to smear him as a pedophile

As Twitchy reported this week, a group called Texas Public Heritage posted a tweet and video smearing school choice crusader Corey DeAngelis, asking if anyone else found his “obsession with children” a little strange, and calling Republicans’ obsession with your kids “creepy and weird,” like DeAngelis. Yes, Texas Public Heritage says DeAngelis and Republicans, and not public schools and teachers’ unions, are after your kids, at the same time queer public school teachers are asking their students to call them “mom.”

DeAngelis proves every time that the loudest voices trying to shout down school choice always either attended private school or send their own kids to private school. It never fails.

"Texas Public Heritage" launched a desperate smear campaign against me with a defamatory video.

Internet sleuths already found evidence linking this group to the Texas affiliate of Randi Weingarten’s union.

When you are an organization like the NEA or UFT & you realize the game is over & you’re on your way to history’s dustbin, you’ll do anything to milk the final morsels of power, influence and, most importantly to these frauds, money. Money, not education, is their real purpose.

By hiding behind the @TexasHeritage_ profile, @eat_pray_lev shows Ben Levison is a #betacuck.

What grooming lessons are his children being taught? Likely none, bc as with most beta male elites, he likely sends his kids to private school. #schoolchoice

The “pandemic” exposed more than anyone could have imagined relative to institutions’ attitudes toward citizens, incl. parents & children. There is no going back. Seeing is believing. Actions/inactions have costs. Regardless of the fact that our own taxes r being used to harm us.

If public schools are so awesome, why are unions so afraid that parents will start sending their kids to private schools? We know … the only thing holding public schools back from being so awesome is a lack of money, so they can’t let you choose where your money goes. But they certainly can donate to Democrat candidates who’ll argue against school choice.
