I know people who live in a house assessed at over $1 million. They send their kids to a private school. In a couple years, they will get $7600 for each kid.

Heidi and I could not afford to send the boys to private school even with the $7600 each we would get. A thread. 1/7

Some argue that Pell grants are federal dollars for kids to go to private colleges, but they forget Pell grants are only available to the most high need students — not the kids living in the $1 million house. 2/7

And speaking of money, take a look at who funded the Governor’s commercial, look at the donors to her and GOP legislators, look at Corey DeAngelis landing in Des Moines last night before it was all over and posting pictures from the Senate chamber. 3/7

Proponents of this say it is about funding students not systems. But it actually is about a system: their system. 4/7

A system of lining pockets of the wealthy who will continue to give to them… of partnering with big money special interests… a system of continuing to marginalize people… while they all sit at the top watching public schools and people crumble. 5/7

Often, when you reach the top, there is cheering. But there is nothing to cheer about today. Not for the majority of our state. We’re sickened yet again. 6/7

But we cannot give up. Not on our work. Not on our kids. Not on our state.

Keep answering the call: love the children. 7/7

The University of South Florida has adopted radical DEI programming that segregates students by race and promotes the idea that white students should think "I feel bad for being white" and "it's not my fault I’m white" as part of their "racial identity development."

Thread.🧵

I have obtained a trove of public documents exposing USF's radical DEI programming, much of which, according to the Wayback Machine, the university tried to delete from its website following Florida governor Ron DeSantis's recent request for information about university DEI.

The first step in this programming is the condemnation of American society. Following the death of George Floyd, nearly every appendage of USF condemned the United States for its supposed "systemic racism," "white supremacy," and "interlocking systems of oppression."

The university's DEI administrators offered the solution: racial reeducation. USF offered racially segregated counseling sessions and promoted "white identity development" materials for white students to confront their "white privilege," "white guilt," and "white fragility."

According to these materials, whites must first enter the process of "disintegration," experiencing "white guilt" and thinking, "I feel bad for being white." Next, after their identity is broken down, they enter a phase of "reintegration," thinking, "it's not my fault I’m white."

An informative meeting with actual experts led to this relic from Lancaster PA Dayspring Academy's EITC program.

*Blessings.*

The path we are on is already well-worn. Just because most of us haven't noticed does not mean it was not there.

“8 yrs ago the PA Legislature passed HB 996 creating an unprecedented opportunity for biz in PA to send their State tax bill to a scholarship organization, enabling thousands of students across the state to attend the private school of their choice. It’s known as…EITC”
