     From @kcivey: disappointing but I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised

     If Trump is going to make an example of schools that resist, we have to make an example of schools that capitulate.

     @Phosphenes @inthehands @pluralistic Not sure that's such a great idea. How long will it be before there are schools for MAGA kids and schools for everyone else? I think we need to keep politics out of schools altogether.

     “Keep politics out of schools” is a meaningless phrase that fails to understand what the word “politics” •means•. The existence of schools is political. Making school accessible to everyone is political. Policing what can and cannot be spoken in a school is political. Giving students and teachers freedom to speak what they like in a school is political. There does not exist an option here that is not political.

     “Keep politics out of schools” in practice means “schools should reflect •my• politics.” Sorry to be harsh, but I’m out of patience for this one.
