Revenge of the COVID Moms

Article describes the anger many moms feel toward the officials, elected or otherwise, who abandoned their responsibilities to the children they were supposed to be teaching (and protecting). What will be the actual political fallout be from these angry moms? Hard to say. 

I would say that one effect the forced distance learning and the public stances of the teachers unions will be more States giving education funds to parents instead of the schools. Many States have already done so and many more will follow. Those States who don't, because of outsized political pull of the teachers unions, will, I predict, show consistently lower test results than the States who allow some form of school choice. 

Parents Are Not Domestic Terrorists

"Showing up to dress down school boards over their dereliction of duty isn't a crime. It's good parenting and good citizenship."

First off - shame on the FBI; shame on Merrick Garland; and shame on the Biden Administration.

Second off - kudos off to the author who actually was a person in this arena serving "two consecutive terms on Manhattan's largest school board."  I admit that I have neither the time nor the inclination to run for public office such as a school board but I also see the need for concerned parents to get involved by running for these posts. Many parents will also take a more active stance in their child's education by pulling them from public schools. Home schools, charter schools, and private school enrollment will boom in the next couple of years. 

Educational funding going to parents and not school districts is bound to become one of the more important issues in upcoming elections. Candidates will have to support educational funding going directly to parents to earn my vote. The more people who feel that way and the more vocal they make their feelings known - the more likely real change to how our kids are being educated can be effected.
