Why can’t Johnny read? Thank the MAGA WAR ON EDUCATION.

MAGA war on education

Are your kids struggling at school? Thank the MAGA WAR ON EDUCATION.

As MAGA is making it harder for people to read, I’m going to use a lot of pictures and cartoons in this blog.

How are Republicans killing public education? How does banning books, closing libraries and firing teachers fit into their scheme? Should tax payers be forced to fund private Christian religious schools that teach kids how to hate others? Why whitewash history? Force teachers to persecute LGBTQ? Follow the pictures in this infographic. The details are in short words with cartoons so Johnny can understand why he’s struggling to learn!

MAGA War on education makes America dumber

MAGA Republicans are destroying our public schools

“Our public schools are not just physical structures. They are the embodiment of our civic values and ideals. Those values include the fact that education opens doors for all, and it must be free and available to all without exception; that all young people should have the opportunity to go to a safe, welcoming school that prepares them for college, a career and life; and that their school experience should support them academically, socially and emotionally.

But some people want that cornerstone of our society – the schools at the center of our communities, that don’t just educate our kids but often feed them, teach them understanding and tolerance, and prepare them to engage in our democracy – to crumble, and they’re wielding sledgehammers to make it happen.” – Randi Weingarten in USA Today

Republicans defund public schools to fund private religious schools

What Happened When One Community Defunded Its Library

“Conservatives across the country began targeting public libraries during the backlash to the sweeping social justice movements that took hold in 2020 in the aftermath of the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Using the guise of “parental rights,” conservatives whipped up a moral panic: first about children learning about the United States’ racist past and then about kids learning about LGBTQ+ rights, falsely asserting that members of the LGBTQ+ community were preying on children or that books about gay or trans people should be treated like pornography.” – HuffPost

TakeAway: Protect the freedom for your children to get a free, quality education. Vote for President Biden and democrats.
