1638314313676095489 | @BisforBerkshire Arizona's universal expansion resulted in an unbudgeted cost of $200M+, more than $170M above estimates at the time of enactment. Why? It doesn't just fund students who leave public school, it subsidizes those who never went. https://t.co/qlzMyGr3PW | 5 |

1639688499300278279 | @BisforBerkshire In Michigan, the @MIGOP has quadrupled down, with incredibly poor results. | 38 |
1639999026748887040 | @BisforBerkshire @prof_shelton @jacobin I’m very worried right now that the Dems’ recognition of the political failure of the education myth will simply mean they no longer talk about education at all, since they perceive it as a political loser. /1 | 34 |
1638917213687103490 | In many ways, the situation is deeply alarming. But we manage to end on a somewhat hopeful note: As @BisforBerkshire emphasizes, the majority of Americans is opposed to the dismantling of public education – and to the dismantling of democracy more broadly. | 30 |
1639035186556936193 | @BisforBerkshire I love that they want a classical education, but only a classical education with pants. Not that classically naked stuff. | 26 |

1639999331364397058 | @BisforBerkshire @prof_shelton @jacobin As you rightly say at the end, they have no language other than that of workforce development with which to talk about it, so if that doesn’t work, better just move on (notwithstanding the massive damage they caused to the education system & to the people chewed up by it). /2 | 18 |
