Arkansas has one of the worst performing public education systems in the country. But @jonathanhaidt.bsky.social is happy to provide cover for Hukabee on a policy that will make no meaningful difference on any of these metrics. www.edweek.org/policy-polit...
“You have one identity. The days of you having a different image for your work friends or co-workers and for the other people you know are probably coming to an end pretty quickly. Having two identities for yourself is an example of a lack of integrity.” -Mark Zuckerberg
