Covid a
Serious Public Health Issue That Conveniently Allows MDE and Local District
Incompetents to Mire Academic Abuse of Students in the Muck of Distraction

Erin---
Your
online under lingering Covid conditions article is serviceable but cowardly, as
always avoiding the most vexatious issues in public education. Perpetual
distractions
obscure
the academically important issues that would follow as streams from the
thematic river of your article >>>>>
>>>>>
Heather Mueller is an intellectual lightweight with not a single degree in a
major subject area;
>>>>>
Ed Graff and MPS curriculum decision makers have similarly slim credentials;
>>>>>
Students have not suffered academically under Covid online conditions because
the standard education received is knowledge-deficient and skill-deplete;
>>>>>
Deferring to local districts on Covid matters at this point jibes with abiding
preK-12 conditions in which national and state policy always gives way to
locally centralized reality, which undermines putative reforms, most of which
are pretenses anyway;
>>>>>
Under these actualities, public education produces ignorant citizens, maintains
degraded conditions at the urban core, induces violence born of frustration,
and sends potential societal jewels to prison.
And
you and Anthony and Mara persist in your cowardice and abominable ignorance to
merely parrot the utterances of those who academically abuse our precious young
people every day their feet hit the ground---
Conveyed
with the power of 50 years teaching young people of central cities---
