👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Great quote from Representative @BerylAmedee this morning. “Parents aren’t accountable to the government [when it comes to how they choose to educate their children]; the government is accountable to parents.” #lalege #lagov #schoolchoice
"We also celebrate the things that make Louisiana a unique place to live. But being the only state in the US to license florists is something we should find embarrassing, not celebrated. Florists in every other state in the US make weddings, funerals, bar and bat mitzvahs,…
NEW: Louisiana often lands near the bottom of education rankings — but in recovery from COVID learning loss, it ranks near the top. La. students are back to pre-pandemic reading levels & catching up in math, says new @HarvardCEPR @seda_data report. nola.com/news/education…
Potentially unpopular (controversial?) #EdReform opinion: One of the only things I find more disturbing than kids sitting in a government classroom for 6 hours a day / 5 days a week, is when I see kids wearing a VR headset in the name of " innovative learning." Kids need LESS…

Yet again, other candidates follow @NelsonforLA's lead. Good thing he's never missed a forum or debate he's been invited to- he gives them all their answers. #lagov #lalege

@WWLTV may keep me off the stage, but they can’t keep me out of the debate. I'll be responding live here tonight during the debate. #lagov #lalege You can also catch my reaction on the radio tomorrow: ➡️ 7:15AM with @brianhaldane ➡️ 7:33AM with @jeffcrouere ➡️ 9:30AM on…
.@WWLTV has decided, without explanation, to exclude a single candidate from their debate next week- despite their own poll showing @NelsonforLA in a statistical tie for 4th place. It's a shameful decision that does a disservice to the voters. #lagov #lalege

It's disappointing that @WWLTV @theadvocatebr @urbanleaguela @PARLouisiana chose to arbitrarily exclude me from Thursday's first debate. Excluding the only moderate candidate with the most detailed policy platform deprives the public of an inclusive, "robust" discussion. Luckily,…
@JSODonoghue @JeffLandry @NOLAnews @PARLouisiana @WWLTV They should let @NelsonforLA take his place and participate. I'm a Dem, but I like smart people who think for themselves and he'd def raise the bar on the debate.

@patrick_wall I agree. I don't, however, agree with the math, especially without seeing how the number was reached. A sensational headline but not sure how it's backed up. Does not align with other projections and, again, cost is what the lege appropriates, ultimately.
ICYMI: Voters oust lawmakers who favored the status quo over families who want more education options for their kids. #lalege
Tuesday night was a mandate for school choice in Texas. SIX anti-school choice incumbents were ousted. FOUR more were forced to runoffs 77% of the incumbents we challenged lost or were forced to runoffs. The largest political shift towards school choice in Texas history.

@CReneeAmar @TannerDMagee The young man worked for me, one day he said Mr. Shaun I can’t read your messages, I’m sorry. I was confused and ask, why, with tears in his eyes he said I can’t read. Damnit still hits me with emotion. He played football and graduated from fucking high school.
Today @cadebrumley was reappointed as Louisiana's State Supt. of Education. Former head of LA's largest school district, he became state supt. in 2020 & guided schools through COVID. He often tangled with previous @BESE_LA, but its newly elected members voted today to keep him.
The real issue is why are we paying school superintendents 1.7 million. They have collectively convinced school boards that they are worth this despite all evidence to the contrary. The disparity between the Super and the frontline teacher shouldn’t be that wide.

@seb4466 @MelindaDeslatte @NelsonforLA @JeffLandry No. He is one of the most talented legislators I have ever worked with. If you look at some of his proposed legislation, you would get a glimpse at the depth and breadth of his policy acumen.
@RandanMarie It's a terrible idea. May be suited to Med students for special classes in college. But not younger and not for the basics.
@RandanMarie VR is a fun addition to video games, after they get their homework done. Everything else, just stop
@RandanMarie “Now that we've finished filling you head with nonsense in the real world, we’ll immerse you in a fake world with even more nonsense.”
@RandanMarie Agreed! VR is a way to teach kids even less or less useful things at government schools.
