1. Hmmm

Audio doesn’t seem to be working.

2. Works for me... Is the speaker muted on the tweet?

3. They want kids who are mindless religious bots who don't think for themselves...

And they only are capable of just pushing the buttons and not asking questions. So our billionaire overlords can get even richer than they already are.

4. And then maybe at night he's colonizing Mars!

5. So, non-stop work

For high schoolers is her big idea? Has she ever worked in a field or a factory a day in her privileged life? I've done both and they aren't jobs you can sleepwalk through while listening to classwork.

From working in the fields....and let me tell you farm work is dangerous. I just cut 2 fingers, needed 13 stitches, working in the field with a tiller. You don't need to be paying attention to something else while you work with power equipment. Even if you are just driving a tractor, it can roll on hilly and uneven ground. You have to pay attention. Taking a course while working on a farm can be very distracting and therefore dangerous.

Then the kid gets to go to a tractor factory as free labor disguised as "education". After all that heavy work, he gets to go to a real classroom at what time? 8 or 9 pm? Gets to sleep, shower and eat when exactly? At midnight?

Sounds like she has plans to turn highschool kids into free labor.

6. You were close.

Their plan is to turn your high school kids into free labor, not theirs.

These people haven't done a fraction of the crap they espouse for others.

8. Well-spotted. I bet she spins a good story about the nobility of young teens working in meat packing

…to help out their families because mom and dad can’t make ends meet on the three jobs they have.

9. "Has she ever worked in a field or a factory a day in her privileged life? "

Well, she's the daughter of billionaire "industrialist" Edgar Prince and the link below is ONE of her houses, so you tell me if she has ever spent a hard day working in her entire life;

She shouldn't be allowed to speak on public policy that affects ANYONE, much less some farm kid in South Dakota.

She should just shut the fuck up and go back to her lake house and her yachts. Yes, plural, as she has at least 10 boats of various sizes, including a $40 million unit that was "set free" a few years ago!

Fuck her sideways.

I mean, she only has NINE other yachts!

11. It's about money

Lots of dollars in education system and right now that money is handled by school teachers and their kind. Republicans want to scrape some money off that fund to fund their bank accounts.

12. I'm hearing kids work for free

and no formal education.

13. Nothing like child labor to make a country great
