Act in Good Faith
Des Moines schools would stand to receive and estimated $2 million dollars if the district was included in the payments. Sen. Amy Sinclair, R-Allerton, said leaving the district out is not meant to be punitive, but she also named Des Moines Supt. Thomas Ahart and said he did not act in good faith to follow state rules.
If you defy the fascists of the Iowa GOP, they will not punish you. They will punish your children.
Also, DMPS didn’t just ignore the governor. They took her to court and lost and then complied. So they worked within the system. The GOP controlled legislature is now going to punish them outside the system.
Because they can. Because to the Iowa GOP, might makes right.
