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"
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.
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.
"leftists are the ones cancelling people" say the Republicans who drove a teacher out of her state for supporting queer people
And these coward conservatives will simultaneously get upset when we compare them to Nazis.
You couldn't pay me to live in Idaho. Or Florida.
Y'all are getting payed to live in shitty places?
Haven't you heard? Educating children is leftist commie 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.
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
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
Fascist America...
Nicely done. Let them rot
