Idk the guy talking right now is supporting mayoral control and calling what it used to be "a mess".

I submitted detailed written testimony in favor of mayoral control. I’m sure I’m not the only parent.

I sure hope WTU is enjoying the chickens coming home to roost. Pre-pandemic this never would have been on my radar. Now I woke up early in the morning to write a detailed bill analysis to make sure WTU never gets any more power than it has.

This is so funny to me. You think the current system is a mess, and yet you are loudly proclaiming that we should keep it.

No, I think WTU should be even more marginalized than it is, since it fought the mayor to keep schools closed. Do you not realize that I actually read the bills? Is your level of reasoning “schools bad, we need school board!”

I don't think my students teachers should have workplace protections, because I disagree with their policies

I don’t think they should have workforce protections they are going to use to harm my kid and close schools.

This is the point that several seem to be missing -- change doesn't always mean that things will get better. They could get much worse. This proposal is simply about change and not about improvement.

And the change doesn't even address the problems! It was infuriating to watch Robert White try and say to Shannon Hodge that she had no urgency about helping kids, while she was talking about a research initiative on what would help improve students' education. And then he says that because he care about urgency he wants to....change a governance structure. God it was so gross.

Let me preface this by saying that I don't think the people for change here are Trumpers, but that IS how we got Trump. A lot of people voted for him because they wanted a major change, any change. Obviously that was the wrong choice. Throwing a brick is easy, but not usually helpful.

I don't see the strawman. I see bolded points saying exactly that
