We are denuding the education of students from the South
Arkansas rejects AP African American Studies, cites Arkansas law on "prohibited topics"
There certainly are, but...
Why should that be created when we already a vehicle in place to promote the intelligence of a nation, public education?
@Madken65 Yes, if government intervention is left out of the operation of "public" schools.
My thoughts on this have been present for a bit. If I set up a store-front as a satellite unit of my business, people can opt-in by opening the door and entering, where they can purchase so-called prohibited-topic books or magazines. This could be just above cost, so that it could be reasonable for all. They can opt-out by not entering the store. Private busines vs. Public Education.
There's a Davey Crockett fighting at the Alamo part of this...
Why did Tennesseans help Texans?
They SAW a nation...
We are forgetting that part of what States do for a Nation
That's all I'm saying
@Madken65
As a fellow lifelong educator, I'm sure you feel as I do on this.
What's being done to public education in certain states is an absolute atrocity. They are purposefully raising new generations of bigots, because that is the voter base of the politicians who enact these policies.
I wonder if these states are violating the 14th amendment.
@Madken65 Prohibited topics?
Isn't there a way for a non-profit group to form a LLC that would be able to create mobile learning vehicles that could use Boys-and-Girls clubs or similar to present these topics & more to kids? Private entities after all.
