The Republicans only had a slight majority. And after a change, the bill passed in both chambers almost unanimously.

- lotsofpulp 3y agoThe purpose of pointing out that it was a Republican majority is to counter the claim that (only) “liberals” support not expelling kids.
- Simulacra 3y agoAnytime something becomes political there becomes two sides. If conservatives want to expel students, liberals want to keep them. If conservatives say no, liberals say yes, this is America at its core. We cannot agree on anything so when it comes to public education, it's better to ignore the politics and focus on results.
