It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
It's not the worst thing in sheer killing or war crimes, but he made 's education "reforms" WORSE and actually amplified the harm they did.
As an educator, I will curse Arne Duncan's name forever.
Could you go into more detail? This sounds interesting, but it’s not something I really know much about.
had "No Child Left Behind" which forcibly dismantled public schools by punishing underfunded schools in impoverished areas by tying future funding to standardized testing performance.
made that worse with "Race To The Top" and a few related programs which more aggressively accelerated that process. Many private "academies" replaced those impoverished schools in a growing cancer of privatization that started under "No Child Left Behind" but actually expanded and got worse under "Race To The Top." Also, "Common Core" while superficially nice sounding was just a normalization of the modern teacher's obligation to spend 90% of class time humoring whatever textbook companies want to drill students with, often deliberately wanting them to fail or give up so even more schools can be privatized.
Also, Arne Duncan got the job under because, according to , Arne Duncan played a mean game of basketball.
Thanks!
