No but it will convince them to quit and they city can hire cheaper teachers that "aren't woke".
The city can hire cheaper people, but not teachers. That's been the problem the last few years - not enough teachers (because they're treated and paid like shit), so the requirements to stand in front of a class continue to drop.
Which is the GOPs plan: keep voters dumb enough to elect more Republicans.
I partly agree with you. Mostly on that on matters of this that they had a plan, and wasn't just wonton aggression against education. That is, their only plan was for the results, not the methodology.
Simple solution - just drop the requirement for having a teaching certification. Outsource teaching to a republican-owned corporation that holds a teaching license instead, while they rent out teachers at $10 an hour.
They've done the first part of that in Florida.
Not just Florida. Things got fucked under Trump.

Welcome to 5 years ago. Under Trump.

I have a feeling that we're already skewing this way nationally with low pay and high academic requirements.
