Proposed Maryland Legislation 2025

Wow - some crazy crap being proposed in Annapolis. Getting close to the end. This caught my eye:

House Bill 504 - Excellence in Maryland Public Schools Act

This bill removes several former certification requirements for teachers, including:

  • Passing subject-specific examinations
  • Passing a basic literacy skills test
  • Holding a degree from a regionally accredited institution
  • Meeting a minimum GPA of 3.0, among others
If you can't find enough qualified teachers, lower the standards! This bill has passed the house (100-39) and is now in the senate.

If I may ...
For your consideration ...


Now imagine paying your property tax bills in the thousands yearly to pay these stupid illiterate 'teachers' $60,000+++ in addition to super generous benefit packages whilst you labor away daily only to come home to your dumbed-down children that seem to only know the difference in pronoun meanings.

This state is so fu*ked.

Start HOME SCHOOLING YOUR CHILDREN PEOPLE!!! It will not be getting any better.

And now dumbing down "education" to add to the list. When I taught Calculus in 1980 I had a 100% that understood it and passed it. Now, who knows.

I heard the Left Wing States, perhaps MD to be included that they Dems are trying to pass a law "RESTRICTING" people from educating their own children!! No kidding! It's more than insane.

not having a Passing a basic literacy skills test isn't a bad thing. They then qualify to be mayor of Philadelphia.
