Don’t fall into the trap of thinking Republicans are doing dumb things with education policy because they don’t understand it, or are stupid, or some such.
This is a coordinated strategy. They planned this. They know exactly what they are doing: protecting and elevating the aristocracy by wrecking the social mobility provided by public education.
Don’t fall into the weeds arguing technical points about policy. They want you to waste time on minutiae.
A better political strategy is to point out the dark money. Point out the corruption. And better yet, point out their ultimate goal of desperate poverty for most Americans.
They don't care about the dark money, either, though, because the same has paid for some very effective propaganda. An effective education has become an assault on identity.
They don't believe us when we say the goal is poverty, they refuse to understand the history and instead lionize the very bastards who'll bepeasant them for the act of bepeasanting; their egos will not allow it.
@alexwild also, school board elections are thinly promoted, you're likely to only care about school policy if you have school age children, especially if you DON'T have time to spare to run for election, others with political ambitions, will. Especially if they are being quietly subsidized to run via dark money.
As you can tell by recent school policy and book-bashing activity in the news, it's been very effective.
@alexwild I think their main aim is to have state-funded religious schools. They can try to eliminate from the public education system things they don’t like (book bans, don’t say gay, no AP African-American history etc) but they can’t get public schools to teach Christianity.
Their solution is to wreck the public school system and to offer vouchers for private religious schools as an alternative. This brings them closer to having a state religion.
@alexwild True! It's organized crime conspiracy, committed by a criminal network, which deserves to be disqualified from holding any office in the United States.

There seem to be national security goals that are being undermined these days.
