Could be good
Miraculously, Spokane's Board of Ed has approved plans for a new charter school. This will be the first charter in Wash state. Satan dba "Teachers Union" ruthlessly smashed charter plans in Seattle, but for some unknown reason Satan sheathed his bloody claws here in Spokane.
The new school has been assembled by a team of experienced teachers and educrats, so it's likely to operate on realistic expectations. Its curriculum will be fashionably focused on STEM, which could be a good thing if it's done properly or a useless thing if it's done the normal way. Properly, of course, means HANDS FIRST. The normal way means HEAD FIRST.
In either case ... good or useless ... at least a STEM curriculum won't be actively evil. Unlike, say, a "Transcultural arts" curriculum.

Update six months later: The mystery is solved. Satan allowed the school to go ahead because the school is Satan's own property.
