The purpose is to destroy what’s left of Missouri public schools… we already pay our starting teachers at 50th in the nation and fund our classrooms at 49th in the nation. Now we will further defund schools to prop up private religious schools.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?
It's not because of immigrants, trans people, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.
It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

I’m already in love with what we will all build together. Learning from all the people who have come before us and did their work to dismantle white supremacy, capitalism, patriarchy, ableism (and all those other isms).
When this is over, there will be no one to thank. We will have saved this nation together, and the credit will belong to all of us.
The reward — a better nation that rejected white supremacy, wealth inequality, and patriarchy — will also belong to all of us, but especially to our children.

Why? Because they don't want one of the govt's most successful programs to work.
They want to pave the way for privatization so Wall Street can gamble with our retirement.
