Are you telling me that for profit schools are more worried about profit than education? I just can’t believe that.

I just have to admit I had a very good experience with PALCS cyber school as a parent. The curriculum was rigorous and there was good communication. A lot of resources to help the students do better. It was my goal as a parent to take full advantage of the system, and it took a lot of work on my part.

Is this something favored by the GOP? Then you are telling us something we already knew.

Reply to comment by Jackwilltellyou in Best Chinese food around Exton ?,West Chester, Coatesville? by Jackwilltellyou
Yes. It's in the same shopping center as Crop's Market, Dunkin, etc. on 322. We've been going there for years. Super quick, quality is always good (they make almost everything in-house as far as we can tell, so it's not the same repackaged takeout stuff you get at a lot of other places), and the people are really nice. After that, and if you want to stay closer to Exton, I'd say Hot Wok.

This is a load of shit. Death sentence is only expensive because of a bunch of bureaucracy. This will embolden people like the asshole parkland shooter and the asshole buffalo shooter.

Nope, not bullshit logic at all. Test/performance anxiety is a very real thing and is very well documented. People shouldn't be punished for their inability to perform under pressure, especially not kids.
Also, this Bill did NOT create pathways for schools to teach nothing and still grant diplomas. You're thinking of No Child Left Behind which ROYALLY fucked up the education system in the US. This created the "teach to the test" doctrine as a means of ensuring funding for the school which leaves kids with abilities to solve the problems on the tests they're taught, but no critical thinking skills to apply them to anything of value.
Furthermore, if you want to throw shit about political bullshit regarding the Department of Education and how it operates, Republicans are trying to literally abolish the Department of Education entirely. And it isn't the first time they've proposed this idea either. There have been multiple instances of these asshats trying to cripple the education system in the US, even if just for show. Trump, Rubio, Massie, MTG, and more have all shown support for this and DeVos did her best to hamstring it to make it easier to privatize. Oh and Reagan tried to get rid of it, or at least wanted to get rid of it, back in like the early 80s.

From your own source:
"In a press conference on Tuesday, Governor Mike DeWine said before deciding to implement the controlled release, he and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro spoke with representatives from the railroad who recommended that the controlled release was the best option for the safety of the residents."
""We made the decision to go ahead with the controlled release,” DeWine said."

Blinders my ass. You're twisting the reality that Norfolk Southern was careless, and lacked control of the situation, and as Shapiro asserts, misled both DeWine and himself:

If it's not a talking point, it's never uttered, and rarely understood even if it is. As long as it's repeated!

I hate this because I am, through and through, on the side of ecological justice but this is misleading and wrong.
Norfolk Southern suuucks and this is very bad, but it is not nearly as bad as folks on the left (and right) want this to be.
Yes, press is being boxed out and we don't know shit. So... Guess what folks, we still hardly know shit about the overall impact. That's very bad, but that doesn't mean we need to be Chicken Little-ing all the live long day. Either get on the ground and test yourself, or wait for the data.

It's a video clip of Shapiro speaking unedited. You're going to keep the blinders on regardless, though.

You are literally reposting truth social adjacent BS like it's any better.
Rumble is an online video platform and cloud services business[[2]](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumble_(website)#cite_note-2)[[3]](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumble_(website)#cite_note-3) headquartered in Toronto, Ontario with its U.S. headquarters in Longboat Key, Florida.[[4]](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumble_(website)#cite_note-4) It was founded in October 2013 by Chris Pavlovski, a Canadian technology entrepreneur.[[5]](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumble_(website)#cite_note-:0-5) The cloud services business hosts Truth Social, and the video platform is popular among American right and far-right users. The platform has been described as part of "alt-tech".
So... Maybe no media is without bias and you should shut the truck up

This is from Gov. Shapiro’s Facebook page. “In the face of Norfolk Southern’s failures, I want you to know we are fighting back with every tool we have. Today, I stood alongside the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as they ordered Norfolk Southern to pay to clean up the mess they created. Nothing can make up for the damage already done — but what the people of Pennsylvania and Ohio deserve now is accountability. This is an important step that will give our communities confidence that they will not be on the hook to clean up a multi-billion dollar company’s mess.” I believe Gov. Shapiro is going to hold their feet to the fire. He’s doing a great job.
