OTHER GREAT READS THIS WEEK FROM THE BIG EDUCATION APE
YESTERDAY
Governor DeSantis, or as I like to call him, "Duh-Santis," has been in the news lately for his latest feud with the College Board. Apparently, he's not a fan of their Advanced Placement courses on African American studies and psychology. Why, you ask? Well, according to Duh-Santis, they're promoting ideology over truth and violating Florida laws and regulations on teaching about race and LGBTQ i

Well, well, well, looks like California is in a bit of a pickle. The Golden State is experiencing a decline in student enrollment, and it's not because the kids are getting smarter and don't need school anymore (although one can always hope). No, no, no, it's because of corporate education reform and privatization. You see, there are these billionaires and their front groups and foundations who
GREAT NEWS CHIEF YOU GET TO KEEP YOUR KIDS SCOTUS UPHOLDS NATIVE AMERICAN ADOPTION LAW In a surprising turn of events, the Supreme Court has ruled in favor of Native American tribes being able to keep their own children. Yes, you read that right – apparently, some people thought it was okay to take Native American children away from their families and give them to non-Native American families for
Breaking news, folks! Governor Sanders, also known as Sick Sister Sarah, has made a bold move and ditched diversity for right-wing dogma at the University of Arkansas. That's right, the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is getting the boot and its resources and personnel will be spread out like peanut butter on bread to other departments across the university. Chancellor Charles
Ladies and gentlemen, gather around for a tale about the neoliberal education reform movement, AKA the "Destroy Public Education" movement. Yes, you heard that right. These folks are all about dismantling our beloved public education system and replacing it with something, well, quite terrifying. What's even scarier is that this movement has opened the door to Christian nationalist education and

BREAKING NEWS: TRUMP ADMONISHES THE FLOCK SEND MORE MONEY! Former President Donald Trump is at it again, folks. He's a 24/7/365 grifting machine, and he's not afraid to admit it. In fact, he recently told his supporters that grifting is better than money laundering or the gambling business. And why not? It's easier, and you don't have to worry about getting caught. Just ask his former lawyer, Mic
THE BROKEN WORLD OF CALIFORNIA ARTS EDUCATION SACRAMENTO WE MUST HAVE MORE COWBELLS Are you ready for a wild ride? Because we're about to do a deep dive into the broken world of California arts education. And let me tell you, it's a hot mess. According to California's state-mandated arts standard, students from grades first through sixth are supposed to receive instruction in dance, music, theate
Education is like a superpower that can change lives and transform societies. It can help people escape poverty, achieve equality, and enjoy freedom. However, millions of children and adults around the world are still denied their right to education due to various obstacles and challenges. What is the right to education?

BROOKINGS: RIGHT SIZING EDUCATION FOR PRIVATIZING AND DESTRUCTION Scaling impact in education for transformative change is a complex and multifaceted process that requires a systemic approach to achieve meaningful outcomes.

Are you ready to learn about the world of education rights? Buckle up, because we're about to explore the wild world of MAGA parents' rights versus student rights. And let me tell you, it's a real doozy. First up, we have the right-wing front groups. These include Moms for Liberty, Nation Parents Union, and a whole bunch of dark money groups. These groups are all about fighting against things li
OKLAHOMA STATE EDUCATION SUPERINTENDENT MY ASS MAGA HITMAN IS MORE LIKE In the world of education, there are those who prioritize the success of their students above all else. And then there's Oklahoma State Education Superintendent Ryan Walters, who seems to prioritize something else entirely: being a MAGA hitman. Yes, you read that right. According to some reports, Walters has been using his po

Former President Donald Trump has once again found himself in hot water, this time for allegedly illegally keeping classified documents at his Florida estate. But let's be real, is anyone surprised? Trump has been in more legal battles than a professional wrestler. The charges against Trump stem from an investigation into his handling of sensitive information during his presidency. Critics have
Right wing front groups like Moms for Liberty are like a mercenary army? Well, that's news to me! I mean, sure, they're organized, armed, and motivated by a political agenda, but are they really like a group of hired guns? Let's take a closer look. First of all, let's define what we mean by "right wing front groups". According to NPR, these are groups that promote extremist views such as white s
CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM SHOWING UP IS HALF THE BATTLE Are you a chronic absentee? Do you skip school more often than you attend? Well, don't worry, because according to the Stephen Hawking , just showing up is half of the battle. So, if you show up for half of your classes, you're good to go! But in all seriousness, chronic absenteeism is a real problem that affects millions of students and teachers

SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE AF CHRISTIAN NATIONALIST CHARTER SCHOOLS Are you ready to take a plunge into the wacky world of right-wing Christian nationalism and charter schools?

In a historic development that has left the nation in a state of shock, former President Donald Trump has been indicted on thirty-seven counts in the special counsel's classified documents probe.

Yes, you read
WTF: DON'T SAY HARVEY MILK? In a shocking turn of events, the Temecula school district is currently being investigated by the California Department of Education. Why, you may ask? Well, it seems that the school board made the grave mistake of blocking a curriculum that mentioned the iconic gay rights leader, Harvey Milk. Now, I know what you're thinking. "Why would they do such a thing?" And hone
Charter schools and religious institutions: A match made in heaven? More like a match made in the land of oxymorons. How can we possibly have religious charter schools? Isn't that like having a vegetarian steakhouse? Or a dry water park? It just doesn't make sense. But here we are, in a world where one person's mythology is another person's religion, and somehow, we're supposed to navigate this
Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Teaching and Learning: DOE's Practical and Policy-Based Recommendations Are you tired of teaching the same old lessons year after year?

The recent news of the Bible being banned from schools in Utah has caused quite a stir. But is the Bible really the filthiest story ever told? Let's take a deep dive and find out. Firstly, let's address the absurdity of book-banning in general. Who are these people who think they have the right to decide what others should or should not read? It's like they've never heard of freedom of speech or
