Okay, so he revoked the collective bargaining rights. He didn't revoke the ability to go out on strike, though. It just won't be an organized strike.

Weren't strikes the compromise to the other option, namely dragging the owners out of the factory and beating them in the streets? Maybe they just want to go back to the original system.

“For years, parents have been begging schools to focus on teaching their kids practical skills like reading, writing, and math, instead of pushing critical theory, rogue sex education and divisive ideologies—but their concerns have been brushed off, mocked, or shut down entirely,” said Tiffany Justice, Co-Founder of Moms for Liberty. “Parents, now is the time that you share the receipts of the betrayal that has happened in our public schools. This webpage demonstrates that President Trump’s Department of Education is putting power back in the hands of parents.”

"Moms for Liberty" is all you really need to know to understand this is bad news.

What I love is how the form is titled "schools should be focused on learning". What they mean is learning only the things that they feel you should learn to be a better drone.

Okay, I used to work for a supplement distributor, and I'm going to explain to you how the supplement industry works. You'll then be able to see how they intend to pull this kind of BS.

Determine whether you will sell to weight loss, skin care, or masculine fragility. Now go find yourself a Third World country, the usual is Brazil because it has a considerable population and a fairly large medical establishment. Find a study that was done that addresses in some fashion what you're trying to sell. The study will probably be of a small population and have a slight effect on a small percentage of that population.

Now you can go ahead and market your product and claim that a medical study says that some people will see an effect. Let your marketing people go ahead and spin that however they want, you've got your evidence.

Now do you see how the brainworm's CDC is going to go ahead and push whatever point of view he wants?

CNN's Katelyn Polantz reported that the White House circulated a memo to agency heads Thursday attacking the lawsuits as partisan impediments to president Donald Trump's agenda and encouraged them to invoke a procedural rule requiring plaintiffs to post money at the start of their court case to cover costs and damages if the government ultimately prevails.

This is like sovereign citizens saying they don't consent to being arrested. Did anybody hear us asking for permission?

Considering trump's efforts to put political officers in charge of all official communications, any such "news" must be considered suspect.
