Teachers told to keep silent, CA gives kids college savings accounts - Passing Period #75

Description This Week: We knew that the attacks on truthful teaching of history, on inclusive curriculum, and on discussion of so-called “controversial” topics would have a direct impact on the classroom, and now we’ve got the data to prove it. A new survey by the RAND Corporation shows that 1 in 4 teachers have been told to limit class talk on hot-button issues, even in cases where there are no laws being violated. The “chilling effect” is in full effect, and Manuel and Jeff get into it. Meanwhile in California, families can now access college savings accounts created in their children’s names. Is this free cash for college a sign that CA has gone full socialist, or are there some Wall St. shenanigans at play? Get your All of the Above swag, including your own “Teach the Truth” shirt!
