Could be good? No, it will be evil.
Back in January I cautiously noted the founding of a charter school here in Spokane, the first in the state:
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.= = = = = After hearing a lengthy radio interview with the school's founder yesterday, I'm even more cautious. She is apparently getting support from "some foundations", which means Satan. She also claims to want community support, as in crowdfunding, but she'll have to drastically reshape her pitch if she really wants the latter. From her presentation the school sounds like the usual unionized poison, all Head and no Hands. Most of the emphasis will be on something called "active citizenship", which means pure reagent-quality adamantine Satanism-Leninism. Students will become missionaries for Die-Versity and Transcultural Arts and Critical Queer Theory. This may be an inaccurate deduction, but all the standard buzzwords were present in her pitch, and the specific meaning of "active citizenship" is unquestionable. Though unfamiliar here, it's common jargon in the bureaucracies and NGOs of the European Union. It means training students to destroy local autonomy, destroy normal civilization, and spread genocidal tyranny. Look it up for yourself. ¶ 3:40 AM
