Did you know school principals can issue warrants and their school resource officers can arrest parents for something like recording staff abusing their children? Me either.

Here's my question for these boomers rushing to criticize the only educational tools and helpers parents have now that the government has complete failed us: if online learning, homeschooling, and parental control of children is so bad, why is there such a desperate need to overstate it?

We're taking the predictions of scientists seriously, which means we're pulling out all stops to minimize risk of exposure to this damned scary public health crisis. Constantly hearing it will "get worst before it gets better" is one hell of a motivator.

Even though research says otherwise, teachers unions fund constant communications efforts that frame the fight for school choice as a policy battle between grassroots defenders of public education (who only want to preserve the public's schools) and the cigar-smoking corporate fatcats who fund campaigns to "destroy" America's most vital child-serving institutions. 

Big dollar donors are having an influence on our major institutions. But why do "journalists" only follow the money when it leads to conservatives?
