They stole from medically needy children in Florida to bankroll their campaign against the marijuana amendment. Moody was at best complicit, at worst, an orchestrator. Then DeSantis appointed her to the US Senate. These people should be in prison.

ICYMI: Ashley Moody is complicit in misuse of ten million dollars meant for healthcare for low-income children, that instead ended up in a political action committee controlled by DeSantis. Moody, as Attorney General, approved the agreement authorizing the movement of this money.

Jennifer Berkshire @BisforBerkshire on @KnowYrEnemyPod had a brilliant analysis of failed centrist Democratic ideas about education and economic redistribution, specific to Youngkin's win in VA. I'm very interested in how it applies to midterms results. dissentmagazine.org/blog/kno…

I’m reading through these proposed changes to Virginia’s K-12 curriculum & it’s despicable. They are unabashedly whitewashing history & will be forcing teachers to commit educational malpractice by not allowing them to teach honest history.

What has education come to? Talented, experienced teachers who love teaching are leaving in droves. You want to fix the Teacher Shortage? Fix this. #TBATs .@AFTBATcaucus .@MIBATS .@NEABATCaucus .@PennBat .@OhioBATs .@BATsDelaware .@VirginiaBATs .@BATs_DC .@WVBats .@VirginiaBATs

Charter schools are businesses. They pick their Board Members. They can hide their finances. They can choose the easiest & cheapest kids to educate. #TBATs .@OhioBATs .@BATsDelaware .@BATs_DC .@VirginiaBATs .@PennBat .@MarylandBAT .@MIBATS .@KentuckyBATs .@MemphisbatBa

Poll after poll shows that 90% of the public LOVE their public schools. Let's show the candidates in November that we won't support them, if they don't support our schools. #TBATs .@BATs_DC .@VirginiaBATs .@MIBATS .@AFTBATcaucus .@OhioBATs .@NEABATCaucus .@PennBat .@BATsDelaware
