Public school advocate @AmyFrogge says school closures in Colorado are the result of privatization efforts (charters, vouchers) like the one @GovBillLee is spearheading here in Tennessee, “ignoring community and parent voices” 🎯

This is how it works. Charter school interests ignore community input and parent voices. Neighborhood schools must be closed to open the door to privatization (ie, charter schools).
Denver parents ask WHY is DPS planning to close schools. Enrollment is UP! Community VOICE must be heard! The money is there for neighborhood schools.@PublicEd412 @NPEaction @LisaforDenver @RussellHaythorn @qpyoungnews @palan57 @AllenCowgill @AmyFrogge

An Arizona private school run by Charlie Kirk’s group at a Christian Nationalist church has taken more than $2 million in voucher funds since 2022 https://t.co/CaUjWUyOto

As universal school voucher programs are sweeping the US, Arizona has led the way in diverting public funding to private schools.
Charlie Kirk calls on preachers to deliver sermons about how Democrats are evil: “I hope you give a Sunday sermon and you talk about how the Democrat Party believes everything that God hates."

Denver's charter school networks received millions from billionaires, while the DPS board targets neighborhood public schools for CLOSURE due to "lack of resources." @NPEaction @DianeRavitch @RepLorenaGarcia @MassPolProfMo @AmyFrogge @FLBaloney @JulieLB

Using a tangled web of astroturf groups, nonprofits, and training organizations, billionaires have hijacked the Denver Schools, leaving some schools, students, and democracy behind.

Tennessee, this is important…..so much for the helping poor kids in “low performing” schools argument…..
📰 NEW: “The poorer the ZIP code, the less often vouchers are being used. The richer, the more.” @propublica ❌ Vouchers were sold as a way to help low-income students, but that’s always been a false narrative. https://t.co/vhN5Yuj9zk

Another charter school scandal: Married NJ charter school leaders making $600k per year actually live in Florida. Pure grift. Nothing prevents this from happening in Tennessee- and in fact, we’ve had similar stories here.

A wife-and-husband team making nearly $600,000 in combined total compensation running a small, publicly funded charter school in Newark do not appear to live full-time in New Jersey and actually...

Declining enrollment in neighborhood schools is often due to expansion of charter schools not lower birth rates. @carolburris @NPEaction @DianeRavitch @MassPolProfMo @OhioPEP @AmyFrogge @4publicedva @FLBaloney @palan57 @Kubikhan @TrusteeFord @adv_project

The district's newly elected board, backed by pro-charter organizations and dark money groups, is moving forward with school closures.

The “school choice movement has also created instability, competition, ideological curricula, resource inequities, increased segregation, loss of community, and reduced funding for public neighborhood schools.”@FLBaloney @AmyFrogge @HeidiBeedle

One caller asked for help finding her brother. Another needed info about evacuation routes. A third worried if a nearby dam was about to burst. And many callers said "I'm just so proud of my neighbors." Local radio in western North Carolina is a literal lifeline right now 🧵

Join host Tiffany Boyd and guest Amy Frogge as they delve into the charter school scam and school choice. Charter schools are the first leg of school choice and their goal is to privatize education while taxpayers foot the bill and the students suffer the consequences. Listen as

And the Charter School Scam continues in Tn as this bill passed: “This bill is giving charter operators the ability to buy any decommissioned public school building. They get first shot. It won’t go to a local non-profit that works with the schools,” said Johnson. “Then, also in

We won’t gloat in @BetsyDeVos’ voucher guy’s moral failure. Human sin is a problem. Hers. His. Ours. Yours. But note this: The one accusing our godly #txed teachers of pornography to get vouchers was the very one producing it. @GregAbbott_TX, cut the hypocrisy! It’s wrong!
