LRT: Under no circumstances should public funds be going toward Windows or other proprietary software licenses, when Linux and other FOSS software is an option.

This should be true not only in #PublicEducation, but also in #government.

At a school district I worked at, a school board member was found to be sexting a student. Your local school board is not composed of academically minded people - they're mostly local business leaders ensuring they get a cut of district contracts.

And a lot of pedophiles.

‘God, you’re hot’ Tennessee school board member says to student during board meeting

Days after board members laughed at the exchange, the Washington County Board of Education called the comments “shocking,” saying “no explanation can justify that.”

Why it matters: This budget sets local priorities — more school funding and boosted public safety outlays change services residents rely on and shape tax and program choices for years to come.

Why it matters: School board members decide policies that shape classroom resources, equity, and accountability. Voters should know each candidate’s vision for funding, discipline, and support for students of color and low-income families.

Why it matters: This isn’t a random scare — it’s a violent act in a crowded transit system that endangers everyone and exposes gaps in how we handle repeat offenders and mental-health crises. Communities need accountability and better safety measures now.

Why it matters: Bullying isn't just a school problem — it's a governance problem when boards ignore students and parents. If local leaders don't act transparently and effectively, trust erodes and harm continues.

The biggest improvements we can make to #PublicEducation:

#Civics & #ParliamentaryProcedure (how government works, how to become part of it, #RobertsRulesOfOrder)

#FreshFood For All For Free (involve students in preparation + service)

#HomeEconomics & #IndustrialArts (domestic production + home maintenance)

#Accounting & #Bookkeeping (business + personal finance)

#Health, #Fitness, & #Wellness (physical + mental, not competition & abstinence)

Why it matters:
This wasn’t harmless enthusiasm — it was a plan to inject religion into public education using district resources. Allowing that would violate students' rights and blur church-state lines.
