The disrespect for teachers has been a fact of our society for decades.

It seems to me that the HBO comedian wanted to make a joke about what a racially biased test question might look like—and whiffed at it pretty terribly.

The system is built on the backs of teachers. And we are ready to collapse.

The resulting credibility vacuum has enabled unscrupulous politicians, agents of chaos, and other charlatans to position themselves as experts.

If someone else doesn't wear a mask, hasn't been vaccinated and hasn't taken the proper precautions, they can spread the Covid-19 virus through the air and infect whole classrooms of people.

However, test scores are effectively useless.

If we ban anything, it shouldn’t be Critical Race Theory—it should be school vouchers.

I am a public school teacher, activist and blogger who ran on change and getting things done— education, infrastructure, transportation, jobs, justice. Sounds like a slam dunk, right? Wrong.
