OTHER GREAT READS THIS WEEK FROM THE BIG EDUCATION APE
YESTERDAY
In a move that has left many scratching their heads, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has vowed to give birth to an all-new Jim Crow 2 tier education system. The plan involves replacing the current public education system with vouchers for private schools and more charter schools. Apparently, Abbott fears that Florida, Arkansas, and Oklahoma are going to destroy public schools before he can. So, he pl
Listen up, folks! It's time to talk about the most important subject in school: algebra. I know what you're thinking, "Ugh, math? No thanks." But hear me out, because algebra is not just any old math subject. It's the superhero of math subjects. It's the Batman to your Robin. The Wonder Woman to your Superman. The...well, you get the point. Now, I know some of you may be thinking, "But didn't th
In the latest episode of "As the Oklahoma Department of Education Turns," Superintendent Ryan Walters is once again making headlines for all the wrong reasons. This time, he's been caught on camera spouting off about "indoctrination" in schools and getting flipped off by a woman in the background. And frankly, we think everyone should follow her lead. It's no secret that Walters is a self-procla
SEP 28
Vaping in schools has become a hot topic lately, and not just because those kids look like they're on fire. More and more, the dangers of vaping for kids are being learned, and it's time to take action. First off, let's talk about the dangers. According to the CDC, vaping can expose users to harmful substances such as nicotine, heavy metals, volatile organic compounds, and ultrafine particles th
The Biden administration has finally taken a stand against the high-debt for-profit predatory college industry. And let's be honest, these schools are as bad as Trump University, which was sued, closed, and forced to pay restitution. It's like they brought the ethics of payday lending into public education. But fear not, my fellow Americans, because Biden is cracking down on these schools like a

In a bizarre turn of events, it seems that Okla Spi Ryan Rasputin Walters is at it again, harassing and bullying poor John Glenn Elementary School Principal Shane Murnan. Now, you might think that Walters is just a loudmouth MAGA hitman, but it turns out he's actually stirring up trouble to promote his own political aspirations. That's right, folks, he's hoping to replace Stitt as Governor and m
In a shocking turn of events, the Charleston County School District (CCSD) superintendent, Dr. Eric Gallien, has been placed on paid administrative leave pending an investigation. The five trustees who voted for his suspension are all endorsed by Moms for Liberty, a right-wing group that opposes mask mandates, critical race theory, and LGBTQ+ rights in schools. It seems like these MAGA moms are
In a stunning move, Tennessee lawmakers are considering rejecting nearly $1.9 billion in federal education funding. The reason? Concerns over the restrictions and mandates that come with the money. Apparently, Tennessee MAGA thinks they can do better on their own. House Speaker Cameron Sexton and Lt. Gov. Randy McNally announced the creation of a group of lawmakers to study the potential impact
Well, folks, it looks like the billionaires' playbook for destroying public schools has hit another snag. The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) has finally said "enough" to the sh*tshow that is charter school co-location in public schools. For those of you who don't know, charter schools are privately run schools that receive public funding. They often lease space on public school camp
SCREAMING SCREEN TIME KIDS AND THEIR PHONES Are you tired of your kids being glued to their phones all day? Do you miss the days when they actually talked to you instead of texting? Well, fear not, because I've got some hilarious tips to help you navigate the world of screen time and keep your kids from turning into phone zombies. First things first, let's talk about when to give your child their

Parents love to hate, hate to love, and love to laugh about transgender notification policies. It's a complicated issue, with many different opinions and viewpoints, but one thing is for sure: MAGA parents are the masters of contradictions. On one hand, they love the idea of schools informing them if their child identifies as transgender. It gives them a chance to feel like they're in control, t
Ah, the joys of parenthood! The sleepless nights, the endless diaper changes, and now, the struggle to find childcare on that elusive fifth day of the school week. Yes, my friends, we are living in a time where the four-day school week is becoming more and more popular. It's like a comedy of errors, where the punchline is that learning is optional and poor kids are left alone without food. Hilar
In a move that has left book-banning enthusiasts shaking in their boots, California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a bill that puts an end to their archaic practices. The bill, which imposes heavy fines on school districts that attempt to ban books featuring historically marginalized communities, including LGBTQ+ people, is a direct response to recent attempts by conservative areas in Californ
Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson has just released her new book, "Enough," and it's a doozy. In it, she exposes the desperate duplicity of the Trump administration and their stormtroopers in the Oval Office. Cassidy pulls no punches as she calls out Trump and his cronies for what they are: conniving cowards plotting the overthrow of democracy. According to Hutchinson, Trump is gearing
SEP 25
In a move that can only be described as "not to be outdone by Oklahoma," Florida has decided to defund voucher support for schools that teach Chinese language and culture. Because, you know, the Chinese supporting education programs in America is just too scary for some people. It seems that the fear of learning about world cultures, histories, and languages is enough to excite the base of polit
In a move that has left attorneys scratching their heads and educators running for cover, Florida has implemented a series of new education laws that are so bizarre and convoluted, they make Governor DeSantis' failing woke campaign for president look like a model of clarity and coherence. The new laws, which include the Stop Woke Act and the Parental Rights in Education law, have caused confusio
Houston, we have a problem. And his name is MeatAxe Mike Miles. The state-appointed superintendent of Houston ISD is on a mission to destroy the district and privatize the schools, and he's not even trying to hide it. In fact, he's hoping to do it much sooner than his estimated five-year plan. Miles has already made some diabolical moves, like cutting custodial staff because apparently dirty sch

Have you ever tried swinging a dead cat? Not that I recommend it, but apparently it's quite difficult to do without hitting a right wing astroturf front group. And if you're not careful, you might just find yourself partnered with the likes of the Koch brothers and the voucher vultures of public education. According to a 2016 report by Media Matters, the education reform movement is being backed
Oklahoma, the land of red people, where history textbooks have been playing a game of Chinese whispers for far too long. But fear not, my fellow readers, for I, the Disruptor of Mad Maga Monk Rasputin Walters (also known as SSPI of Oklahoma Education), am here to enlighten you with the hilarious absurdity that has been unfolding in our beloved state. You see, according to the great and mighty Wa
In a shocking turn of events, the conservative parent group Moms for Liberty has donated fake pocket Constitutions to Brevard Public Schools. The group, known for their opposition to mask mandates, critical race theory, and other progressive policies, has been caught red-handed trying to indoctrinate innocent children with their right-wing agenda. The pocket Constitutions, which include an "oath
