Andrew Yang's Real Platform: School Privatization
During Thursday's debate ABC News moderator Linsey Davis asked Andrew Yang one question that dropped the veil on his true motives for running for office. Forget UBI, Yang is Silicon Valley's school privatization missionary.
You're the most vocal proponent on this stage for charter schools. You have said that Democrats who want to limit them are, quote, "just jumping into bed with teachers unions and doing kids a disservice." Why isn't taxpayer money better spent on fixing traditional public schools?
This is the first I've heard that Andrew Yang is a reformy school privatizer! All that blather about universal basic income is just smoke to cover the underlying motives and also the reason Silicon Valley loves him. And his answer to her question confirms it.
(LAUGHTER)
So, we need to pay teachers more, because the data clearly shows that a good teacher is worth his or her weight in gold.
