Topics
Corey DeAngelis: 长期以来,美国K-12教育体系中存在着家长与既有权力之间的严重失衡。在过去两年中,这种失衡在COVID-19疫情期间暴露无遗。远程学习不仅导致学习损失,还让家长们有机会了解学校课程,并意识到课程是否符合他们的价值观。这激发了家长们在学校董事会会议上发声,反对他们认为不符合其价值观的课程。与此同时,教师工会利用其在教育体系中的垄断地位,将资金用于增加人员而不是提高教师薪资,并利用其政治影响力来推进与学校重开无关的政治议程。学校选择政策能够改变这种失衡,让资金跟随学生,而不是跟随系统。这将促进教育市场的竞争,提高教育质量,并最终使家长和学生受益。此外,学校选择对教师也有利,因为它增加了教师的薪资。 DeAngelis还强调了'资助学生而不是系统'这一口号的重要性,认为这将迫使反对者解释为什么应该资助建筑物而不是孩子。他认为,除了K-12教育之外,其他所有教育和社会项目都遵循'资助个人'的原则,只有K-12教育例外,这是因为既得利益者试图维护其垄断地位。他指出,佛罗里达州和亚利桑那州是学校选择的领导者,并在2021年取得了重大进展,许多州扩大了或制定了资助学生的项目。他还驳斥了学校选择会让穷孩子落后的说法,认为所有群体都从学校选择中受益,并且竞争会使公立学校变得更好。 Christopher Bedford: 埃隆·马斯克收购推特及其在推特上的行为对言论自由和新闻业产生了重大影响。蓝V记者对马斯克收购推特的反应非常强烈,这暴露了他们对言论自由的立场。他们认为推特是一个武器,马斯克将利用它来压制异见。然而,马斯克表示,他将使用《权利法案》作为推特的言论准则,并打击机器人账号,揭露算法审查。政府对马斯克收购推特的反应也同样强烈,拜登政府宣布成立一个新的“真理部”,这可能会使其在第一修正案方面面临法律困境。Bedford还讨论了亚马逊网络服务(AWS)在言论自由问题上的立场,认为AWS曾取消了Parler等社交媒体平台的服务,这表明其并非言论自由的拥护者。他认为,如果马斯克将被封禁的账号恢复,AWS可能会对推特采取行动。他还认为,现在是言论自由支持者购买媒体,对抗审查制度的好时机。他认为,由于政治分歧日益加剧,正在形成一个“第二互联网”和“第二经济”。
