Michigan Democratic Party explains 'the purpose of a public education in a public school' — and gives away Dems' true intentions for our kids; UPDATED

We could sit here all day and try to tell you that the Democratic Party is ultimately not doing it for the children … or we could just sit back and let them tell you themselves.

So take it away, Michigan Democratic Party!

Democrats should absolutely run with this. All the way to the end. pic.twitter.com/Bi8y8PepYF

“What society needs them to know.”

"What society needs them to know" is not something high on my list of what educators should be teaching.

It’s still pretty unusual for Dems to be so open about their intentions, so obviously we had to see for ourselves if this was real.

And obviously, it is:

Oh no, they’ve said too much.

They're saying this stuff outloud now..

They always felt that way. They are now saying it openly.

We appreciate their honesty, at least. Finally.

Saw a teacher friend post this the other day to her Facebook, much to the delight of her fellow educators. The inability to “read the room” is staggering to behold.

Wow…just…wow. There is so much wrong here I don't know where to begin.

But the overarching theme here seems to have nothing to do with the betterment of the student which is…concerning. At best.

Not if we have anything to say about it.

Update:

Guess the Michigan Democratic Party’s big reveal didn’t go off as well as they’d planned:

they said the quiet part out loud and now they're backpedaling. pic.twitter.com/PrnapapKGe
