Marco Rubio lo acaba de clavar como un martillo: «La violencia de la izquierda no es una “protesta”. Es una revuelta de lo peor contra lo mejor. Es la pataleta de los débiles, los mediocres y los cobardes contra los fuertes, los capaces y los buenos. Son aquellos que no saben construir, crear ni lograr nada grande… y por eso deciden vengarse del mundo destruyendo lo que otros levantaron con esfuerzo, talento y visión. Eso es el izquierdismo radical en su esencia más pura. Da igual la etiqueta del momento: anticapitalista, antiimperialista, comunista, anarquista, marxista, “progresista” o “activista climático”. El ADN es siempre el mismo. Es resentimiento venenoso disfrazado de “justicia social”. Es envidia podrida maquillada de “igualdad”. Es odio a la excelencia envuelto en banderas de “liberación”. Su único talento es destruir. Su única alegría es ensuciar lo hermoso. Su único objetivo es arrastrar todo hacia abajo para que nadie brille más que su propia mediocridad. A través de la violencia, el terror y la cancelación buscan imponer su fealdad espiritual sobre la sociedad. No es idealismo. No es utopía. Es nihilismo puro con sonrisa moralista. El viejo dogma se equivocó: esto no viene de gente que sueña con un mundo mejor, sino de gente que no soporta que el mundo sea mejor sin ellos. Y ya estamos hartos. La civilización no se defiende pidiendo perdón. Se defiende nombrando al enemigo por su nombre.

.@AbdulElSayed says it’s ok for MEN to be in girl’s locker rooms. Why? “Well because they are going to find out about it on the internet anyway” Completely unacceptable.

Once again, the only reason he can give is to repeat false claims that they cost more than public schools. “Even worse, he was immediately rumbled on air by a charter school sponsor, who pointed out to him that he was wrong. All he could do was smile and shrug his shoulders. “He has done this repeatedly over the course of this election campaign. At the NZ Herald Leaders’ Debate, Ryan Bridge asked Hipkins whether he’d ever lied. Hipkins said not deliberately, but acknowledged making incorrect statements based on outdated information and claimed he had always corrected them. “He should live up to this claim. Not for the sake of politics, but for the thousands of students relying on charter schools. They’re the ones whose education he is putting at stake. “The funding figures are publicly available on the Charter School Agency's website.They show charter schools receive broadly the same funding as state schools, and slightly less for staffing and operations. Compared like for like the number are: •⁠ ⁠Primary schools: $8,762 per student at state schools, compared with $8,278 at charter schools. •⁠ ⁠Secondary schools: $11,040 per student at state schools, compared with $10,741 at charter schools. “If Hipkins can't accept these facts, it suggests the real reason he opposes charter schools is that he and the unions are afraid they're becoming too successful. “That is tragic for the families who are choosing these schools because they offer something different. For many students, the traditional system simply wasn't working. Now they're attending school, learning, and getting opportunities they didn't have before. “Charter schools are contracted to deliver results. If they fail to meet their attendance and achievement targets, they risk losing their funding. That's a level of accountability not seen elsewhere in the state school system. “Chris Hipkins should be celebrating schools that are helping students succeed, not threatening to abolish the model to keep his union mates happy. “He has the opportunity to put the interests of students ahead of the unions by accepting the facts and letting families choose the education that works best for their children.”
