Jeb’s Greatest Education Hits - The Remix

yougotschooled2016:

Jeb Bush had quite the op-ed in the New York Post this morning. It didn’t make today’s cover, or the homepage, but we’ve pasted it for you below. Jeb makes more than a few claims about his expertise in education, but clearly this needed some #Fact checking. Jeb’s greatest education hits just got remixed.



But, is Success Academy all that great?

#Facts



Let’s keep going.



How do kids get to attend these magical schools?

#Facts



Back to Jeb…



Wait, the voucher systems in Florida were a disaster. Take the McKay voucher for example:

#Facts



Were the vouchers even constitutional?

#Facts



What’s next, Jeb?



Let’s see how special needs students actually did in these charter schools:

#Facts



If they’re admitted at all…

#MoreFacts

#Facts

Wait, how does Gov. Cuomo fit into all of this?

#Facts



Don’t worry, we’re almost done. Here comes the campaign pitch.

“Nine people were shot dead in a church in Charleston. How is it possible, while reading about the alleged killer, Dylann Storm Roof, posing darkly in a picture on his Facebook page, the flags of racist Rhodesia and apartheid South Africa sewn to his jacket, not to think that we have witnessed a lynching?”—David Remnick on Charleston and the Age of Obama (via newyorker)

New Data Offer First Infuriating Glimpse At How The Richest 0.001 Percent Pay Income Taxes

think-progress:

Tax day doesn’t sting much if you live at the gilded edge, according to new data on how the top one-hundredth of one percent and the top one-thousandth of a percent of all filers pay their income taxes. People who make tens of millions of dollars enjoyed falling income tax rates and ballooning wealth for a decade as middle-class taxpayers floundered.
