🗣️ This Is What Standing Up Looks Like

Let me just say this loud and clear: I agree with Obama—PERIOD. He was right, and I’m standing 100% behind the truth. Schools need to stand up and shut down Trump’s dangerous attempt to destroy education. I’m not sugarcoating a single word. When we show fear, the devil keeps pushing—and that’s not just metaphorical, that’s real-life stuff. Authoritarians? They’re just demons in suits. They feed off fear, control, and silence. The more we sit back and stay quiet, the more power they steal. But when you hit back legally and with strategy? Oh, trust me—they HATE that. They don’t know what to do with someone who stands for truth and justice. That’s the kind of energy we need out here. Not fear—but fire. Let’s break it down: Every single school that’s been targeted by this educational robbery needs to FLOOD the Justice Department. Sue. Demand answers. Expose the injustice. And this doesn’t stop with schools. Every Department of Children and Families needs to rise up too—because if they claim to stand for children and teenagers, this is the moment to prove it. Education is a RIGHT. Not a privilege. Not a prize for the elite. Not something to be stripped from public schools and handed off to private institutions just because a certain someone wants to feed the wealthy while starving the poor. What kind of system are we even tolerating right now? And let me ask this—how is a judge, a whole judge, just allowing this mess to go down in plain view? How is a bill like that even making it through the process without getting shut down on day one? This is not just bad policy, it’s blatant dictatorship in action. It’s not just about politics—it’s about protecting the future of every child who doesn’t have a millionaire’s last name. So yes, if you’re a school being hurt by this—sue. If you’re in charge of protecting kids and teens—sue. Because if you stay quiet, you’re just handing over the future of the most vulnerable. That’s not okay. That’s not justice. That’s betrayal. Now here’s where it gets even more twisted: Not long ago, those same child welfare departments were at the doors of sick parents—literally—for not being able to get their kids to school. Remember the whole “No Child Left Behind” narrative? They pushed that hard. People were judged, dragged, and threatened over attendance. So now what? All of a sudden kids don’t matter? So let me get this straight—you’ll punish a struggling mom for missing a few school days, but you’ll just roll over when someone tries to completely dismantle education for millions? That’s how we know this whole system is rigged. These laws? Most of them are just tools to control, manipulate, and keep folks miserable. They're not really about caring. They're not really about justice. And if you’ve been paying attention, you already know that. I said what I said—and I meant every single word. Don’t come at me with debates or try to twist my stance. I'm not here to play games or go back and forth with folks who still can’t see what’s happening. If you’re uncomfortable with the truth, that’s not my problem. Maybe it’s time you check yourself instead of trying to silence people who actually care. This is what standing up looks like. And trust me, more of us are waking up every single day. Stay loud. Stay bold. Stay unapologetically real. #JusticeForOurKids #ProtectPublicEducation #NoMoreSilence #SueForTheChildren #FightTheSystem #NoToDictatorship #TruthMatters #WeWontBackDown #FearlessVoices #EducationIsARight Blog by Maria D.C.
