I want to imagine Republicans actually care about driving out good teachers. But getting rid of education is probably just a win for them.
They are already driving out the doctors.
Idaho did a nice doctor purge during COVID. Then Idaho citizens ran to Washington and Oregon for medical care.
Only because they're astoundingly shortsighted. This sort of crap causes a brain drain, and absolutely obliterates economies long-term. What we're seeing right now is the beginning.
"Better to rule in Hell than serve in Heav'n"
If they also cared about long term issues, West Virginia would be better off
The venom is what they live for. They don't want to actually fix a single thing
It's why desantis is actively trying to make Florida schools worse. Education = Bad
We’re gonna have to see if they can hit a moving target at 20 yards before Republicans can determine if they’re a good teacher.
Is that with a football or a bullet? Both scenarios fit.
No surprise there.
I live in Idaho and a lot of my neighbors are so fucking dumb it seems like some sort of inside joke I'm not a part of.
I feel you. I'm Idaho born but have lived in CDA for 14 years and watched the community go from trying to distance itself from far right racism to barely dog whistling and trying to shut down the local collage.
Idaho born and raised, too. I left for good over ten years ago. Not coincidentally my social life and career have improved significantly in that time. They don’t deserve the good people that remain. They do deserve the enduring shitty national reputation they have thoroughly earned.
I grew up here. People seem proud of being dumb. It was always a select few of proud ignorant people but now more people are embracing it. It's very sad and disheartening.
Republicans are awful people. Not every Democrat or leftist is a good person - just look at Lemmygrad and Hexbear, or turds like Anthony Weiner. But every Republican has chosen to support a party which revolves around anger and bullying those who are vulnerable.
American conservatism is distilled cruelty.
And these coward conservatives will simultaneously get upset when we compare them to Nazis.
Haven't you heard? Educating children is leftist bullshit. They don't need math or science or logic just like their parents didn't have. Just keep them at home and thump the Bible at them every now and then, they'll turn out fine.
You couldn't pay me to live in Idaho. Or Florida.
Y'all are getting payed to live in shitty places?
As a Canadian about to be homeless due to housing costs, I'll take it
I hope you're white and heterosexual if you're planning on taking that Idaho home. And not a woman who is capable of bearing children.
I am sorry for your situation. Is there an equivalent of Social Services you can contact?
Nah it's Canada. Regular working people are ending up on the street in droves here due to housing and grocery prices.
Our government cares more about easy talking points like the dude I'm debating with than actual human needs. But hey at least we can be openly gay while we freeze to death on the street lol
Well, definitely don't come to Florida, then. We're having that issue, too. The heat index has been 110F+ for the last two weeks and I still see even more panhandlers than in recent years.
I used to call Florida a toilet because it was fun to shit on, but I think it's just a hellhole now. Vanishingly few benefits to living here, unless you have a lot of money.
Yeah I would avoid Florida just due to the weather. Much more comfortable freezing to death than of heat.
Every time someone like this flees, conservatives celebrate. One less vote against them and one step closer to their dream.
Yep. A country so shitty that 35 states are unlivable. But that still gets them 70 senators and enough Governors to change the Constitution
The article doesn't say where she taught. Post Falls. I'm not surprised. Sounds like Post Falls.
Post Falls is where my ultra conservative Catholic school was based. No surprise here
Fascist America...
Nicely done. Let them rot
