I hopped on Truth Social (don’t…it’s a cesspool of misinfo!) to see if Trump’s “truths” were real. After 10 mins of scrolling, all I could think was: “Sure, grandpa…let’s get you back to bed.” 😬 It’s just rambling. Can any y’all who support him explain how this communication style works for you?

I want kids to ❤️reading, not just score well on reading tests. The “Mississippi Miracle” showed early gains, but they faded when funding dipped. There’s no miracle fix. We must invest in schools, support teachers, & help kids find the joy of reading.

And here’s the rare MAGA (Sen. Hawley of Missouri) & Bernie collab!
They’re both right, which why the Rs in control of the govt need to divorce themselves of the idea that compromise is a bad thing.

Back in the classroom, if a student didn’t get a concept, I’d try another way to explain. Same here: Maybe this simple graphic can help folks see the Trump Shutdown is on him & his party, not Democrats. Don’t forget…if you’re explaining (like pro-Regime folks) you’re losing.

Stitt wants to appoint the state super.
That’s a NO from me.
The Gov already has too much power (thx to GOP in ‘19). If we change anything, it should be electing State Board of Ed members & letting them hire a qualified super…like local school boards do.

Wary as I am of Stitt steering the cleanup of the mess he himself made, think he got it right with Lindel Fields. Fields isn’t chasing politics…he’s focused on rebuilding trust between the state, local schools, & parents. Actions > words, but I’m lovin’ the words & am looking forward to the actions!

While hopeful about Lindel Fields as state supe, I am seeing old-school “data-driven reform” buzzwords floatin’ about. That usually means more testing, blaming teachers, & profiteering.
Yuck! 🤢
Public schools can’t be run like a business & kids aren’t widgets, full stop. 🛑
Watching! 👀

I don’t know Gov. Stitt’s pick, Lindel Fields, but trusted folks in my circles say good things. He’s got Career Tech chops, and while I’d prefer K-12 experience, I’m cautiously optimistic he can clean up the Walters mess & bring back professionalism, at the very least. As ever…I’ll be watching! 👀

Seeing lots of conservative hootin’ & hollerin’ (like this follower of mine) about the Trump Shutdown. But a shutdown on the GOP’s watch won’t make America stronger…it’ll speed up their political demise. The only crow eaten’ll be by the party in total control right now: The GOP.

Seeing quite a few of my Republican colleagues & many other Republican electeds explaining how the government shutting down isn’t on them, which, with the government under full control of Republicans, it’s definitely on them. Wait a minute…Ronald Reagan himself has somethin’ to say about that! 👀 ⬇️

I don’t know this general, but his thousand yard stare is ALL of us since this Regime began. Imagine having to sit through Trump floating using the military on Americans & his Secretary of “War” ranting about fat soldiers & grooming. It gave seriously awkward SNL skit vibes. 😳

It’s officially official, y’all. End of that 💩 era, beginning of a (HOPEFULLY) better chapter, with a focus on the education of our kids, our most precious resource. 🙏

Was scrolling round the socials when this caught my eye! Just look at all the 😂 reacts when outgoing state superintendent Ryan Walters posted his final email to parents (touting his “accomplishments”, which was all BS, so I blurred it) on the State Department of Education’s Facebook page!!
😂😂😂

The Red Pen of Truth tackled this final email from Ryan Walters to parents…lots of red because of a lack of truth (no surprise), except for “this chapter is closing”. 😊
I’m ready for a state super who can at the VERY LEAST be honest. Here’s to the end of this reign of error!

Walters WILL be resigning, so let’s turn to the next chapter: The appointee.
Rep. Lowe: “Kids first.” Board member Mike Tinney: Ethical, honest, works w/ Board.”
Yes to all!
They also need experience as a super/leading a state agency so they can clean up the mess/get us back on track swiftly.

For those doubting if Mr. Incompetent is really resigning…Matt Langston (Walters’ TX/OK puppet master & waste of taxpayer $) confirmed he’ll officially resign tomorrow, right before joining his “anti-union” teachers union. Fear not, y’all…it’s happening.

Ok, ok…no matter how ya feel about the outgoing state superintendent, this pic (supposed to make him look mean & strong 😂) really does give strong standing-up-quickly-because-he-couldn’t-tell-if-he-farted-or-pooped vibes and it’s mildly disturbing lol. Who’s his media expert?? 💨 or 💩??

Walters thought he was the main character, but he was just the Umbridge of OK politics: hated for his words, actions & idiotic policies. And like in HP, Umbridge’s fall didn’t end the story…Voldemort was still out there. The anti-public school crowd is too. Stay vigilant, always!

Saw this on my fellow Oregon Trail generation buddy’s page & it’s a good warning. I’ll be the first to say that I’m not a medical expert, but neither is RFK, Jr. nor most anybody within the Regime. Your trusted medical professional should have the final say on medical advice. Be safe out there!

The “OK lawmaker” is my colleague Rep. Ellen Pogemiller…she raised alarms on Walters long ago & brought receipts. Back then, no action. Now that he’s off to lead the “Teacher Freedom Alliance” (one of the orgs he boosted in his emails)…the evidence has gotta be there now, yeah?

The absolute best part of the middle school-level trolling by Gov. Gavin Newsom (toward Trump, but also toward 2028 presidential hopefuls, like DeSantis) is the conservative-leaning news coverage!! I mean…just look at this glorious headline!!!

Don’t know if y’all caught this, but President Trump has announced that he’s releasing the files, like the overwhelming majority of Americans have asked for him to do!*

Wanna fix the system? Same! Let’s not belittle & disparage teachers (they’re indeed miracle workers as Dr. Brad states), focus less on forcing outcomes, invest in an army of mental health counselors (& other holistic supports) for our students, & the outcomes will take care of themselves, I promise!

For this Federal Issues Friday: The Red Pen of Truth wants to remind y’all that only one party runs the govt: the U.S. House, U.S. Senate, the President, SCOTUS…are all Republican. If there’s a shutdown, it’s bc Rs apparently can’t govern, not on Democrats.
