Topics
Rachel Walden:我关注的是学校中批判性理论和身份政治的灌输。我的女儿刚上幼儿园,我就开始思考,她未来的世界将会是什么样子?我们教孩子们仇恨美国,教他们身份政治,却让他们无法学习阅读、写作和数学等基础知识。 我被研究生院开除是因为我拒绝接受后现代理论,他们要求我从种族和阶级的角度来写论文。这种灌输已经从研究生院蔓延到幼儿园,现在学校过分关注社会情感学习,导致对儿童进行与公共教育范围无关的提问。 我们需要采用行之有效的课程,例如Spalding Phonics和Saxon Math,并减少教师拥有的课程选择。一些在线学习平台存在色情链接,这些问题应该立即解决。 我将专注于让孩子们能够阅读、写作和进行数学运算。这是一个非党派问题,我们应该让学校回归基础教育。 Chuck Warren:学校董事会未能有效管理学校预算,导致教师薪资不足。学校系统中存在大量无用且浪费资源的管理职位。 家长对学校的参与度不足,教师工会通过资助竞选活动来影响学校董事会选举。 我们需要回归基础教育,让学校变得“无聊”一些,专注于让孩子们掌握阅读、写作和数学等基础技能。 共和党和保守派在教育问题上失败了,应该回归基础教育。 Sam Stone:中国学生的数学和科学成绩优异,这与他们在学校投入的时间和努力有关。美国学校应该将更多时间用于基础教育,其他非基础教育内容可以在课外学习。 凤凰城对所有城市雇员强制接种疫苗的规定可能是非法的,这将城市雇员置于联邦政府的控制之下,也侵犯了个人医疗自主权。自然免疫与疫苗接种的有效性存在争议,疫苗强制令没有限制,可能会导致更多强制措施。 要求提供医疗记录以获得医疗豁免是不合理的,凤凰城警力短缺严重,疫苗强制令将导致消防部门人员短缺。人们最关心的是交通安全问题。凤凰城商业界对疫苗强制令保持沉默。 是时候结束COVID-19相关的争议了,戴N95口罩是预防COVID-19最有效的方法。
