Oregon Public Education – What a mess!!!!
Are our state leaders really stupid, completely incompetent, or just completely denying the reality that they have created. Oregon is ranked 45th in overall education quality as measured by testing, and 44th in school safety (https://wallethub.com/edu/e/states-with-the-best-schools/5335). Yet our Governor Tina Kotek insists on staying the course with this ridiculous DEI indoctrination agenda which is risking the loss of all $430M of federal education funding, and up to $1.5B if you include higher Education and Trade schools. Governor Kotek is doing this under the guise of ensuring “strong public education.” https://katu.com/news/local/governor-kotek-defends-oregons-education-funding-against-federal-threats Yet we are ranked 5th in overall education spending in the nation https://www.learner.com/blog/states-that-spend-the-most-on-education.
It seems that this political ideology of DEI indoctrination is so heavy in this state. Especially by a governor who is openly gay and most likely considers herself part of a marginalized class of citizens. Of which she appears to be willing to risk the education of all Oregon Public School Students and the jobs of the Teachers.
When is it enough, and when are we going to let our state government know that we want change, and what they are providing is not working?
