Well if that isn't just about the most evil thing you could openly admit to doing.

Corey A. DeAngelis is an American advocate for school choice.

DeAngelis was an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank. He worked for the American Federation for Children, a conservative education nonprofit group founded by Betsy DeVos, from 2021 to 2024.

He joined the board of directors of the Liberty Justice Center in 2022. He has appeared on Fox News multiple times to as a commentator on education policy.

DeAngelis has described school choice as "a winner for Trump". He contributed to the Project 2025 document, in the section discussing education and the dissolution of the U.S. Department of Education.

In 2024, he released the book The Parent Revolution.

This guy's literally done nothing his entire life besides get paid by right-wing think tanks to undercut public schools

Of note, Minnesota and SC are almost twice as far away from each other as Denmark and Slovenia 😂 I live in the US and the idea that our cities' cultures are as diverse as those found among all the nations of Europe is laughable. There's plenty diversity within the US between cities, but it's a totally different beast, and every city is also surrounded by homogeneous suburbs

its the end of the rule as we know it

I told my mom (78) a yesterday about how I was talking to my son (8) about climate change. She said "But he's only 8!" I said "This will affect his entire life, and already is, because it's so hot he can't have recess outside." Politically, she's no Republican, and she hates Trump, but she still struggles to piece together that we know what's causing climate change and how to stop it.

Outside of a few big cities there is absolutely no need to know the individual American cities on a global scale.

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but this statement can be applied to pretty much every region in the entire world. Definitely also applies to Europe.

Going a different direction later in life is absolutely not "starting over." Your life experience comes with you, and if you're even slightly self-aware, that will give you a leg up. I decided to go back to school for a specific career when I was 30 after working in retail management for awhile, and by 36, I was in management in that new career, which was directly attributable to my prior work and life experience. Everything you experience contributes to who you are
