.@davidjollyfl wants to undermine school choice by pushing public school rules onto private schools.
That’s not what parents want and not what students deserve.
Instead, we should free government schools to compete in a market where parents are ALWAYS in charge.
Democratic governor candidate David Jolly’s plans for state vouchers undermine the very notion of school choice, writes advocate Erika Donalds, wife of Jolly’s opponent. sun-sentinel.com/2026/09/23/…

What’s fact and what’s fiction when it comes to the Department of Education? @DeAngelisCorey breaks it down ⬇️
As the Department of Education approaches its final days, many claims have been made about what its closure could mean for education in America.
Some argue that the Department plays a critical role in leveling the playing field for disadvantaged students and improving educational outcomes. Others warn that civil rights protections will be weakened and that Pell Grants and federal student loan programs will disappear.
@DeAngelisCorey, Research Fellow at the Center for Education Policy, joins us to debunk the myths surrounding the Department's closure and explain why the panic surrounding its dissolution is both misguided and counterproductive to ensuring that students across America receive the education they deserve.
The Department of Education's legacy is not one of educational improvement, but of bureaucratic waste, federal overreach, and declining student outcomes.

Very predictable, when you are part of a group where compensation is based not on merit but on group membership (union), why would anyone care whether the kids are actually learning?

That failing government school spends over $52,000 per student per year.

💰 $2.6 MILLION.
That's what two former Jacksonville teachers union leaders were ordered to repay after years of stealing from Duval Teachers United:
❌ Cashing out leave they never earned
❌ Unauthorized bonuses
❌ Fake reimbursements
Teachers deserve better. 🍎

FYI: Over roughly 15 minutes, Randi Weingarten invoked “authoritarian,” “authoritarianism” or “authoritarian backsliding” four times.
She spoke first about an “authoritarian project,” then “any kind of authoritarian project.”
Later came “beating authoritarianism” and “this kind of authoritarian backsliding.”
And she explicitly connected that argument to the Trump administration.

AFFT Senior Fellow @DeAngelisCorey speaks to recent posts by Dr. Uju Anya, who posted “Die first, white man, then ask yourself why I’m dancing" on social media.
Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh is reviewing recent social media posts by Anya, calling the remarks “hostile and threatening” following intense backlash.
As DeAngelis points out: "She needs to lose her job. She has no business influencing young adults and taxpayers shouldn't be forced to subsidize this hate."
