    It’s so much worse than just turning the libraries into prisons - they even went as far as putting cameras in the classrooms to spy on the teachers to make sure they follow mike miles’ centralized learning plans and to dock their pay if they aren’t …

    These policies will fail, but I doubt they’ll change course because Republicans never want to admit they’re wrong.

      Failure is the goal. The next target is destroying the department of education.

      These people are ignorant disgraceful trash and if we don’t do something about them we are going to find ourselves in feudal America with serfs lords and kings again.

    One of Miles’ boldest projects has been a major restructuring of 28 underperforming schools, many of which are located in lower-income neighborhoods. Their teachers must now follow a centrally scripted curriculum, with in-classroom cameras monitoring their performance and pay based largely on standardized test scores.

    How does anyone think that institutionalizing the lives helps lower income neighborhoods ?

    How does making more authoritarianism help people that are all ready with more on them in the form of poverty ?

    I’m so done with the New American Warlord bullshit. We need to rip these crypto-Stalins asunder in public.

    This is just so sad and evil. Take away a learning space, punish kids, and force them to “learn” alone. That’s so messed up. How anyone thinks these people are helping anything is beyond me.
