Pondiscio literally wants control over instructional materials because he is worried teachers are using woke curriculum that includes LGBTQ kids and restorative practices! He explicitly says so!

The answer has a lot to do with one of American education’s dirty little secrets: on any given school day in nearly every public school in the country, curriculum materials are put in front of children that have no official oversight or approval.

Nearly no category of public employee has the degree of autonomy of the average public school teacher—even the least experienced ones.

I remember that it was about an adolescent boy and girl, and there was a door with some kind of big gem at the top, and it led... Somewhere. I think the gem was removed at some point. I'm a sucker for interdimensional stories. I devoured His Dark Materials as a young me. I still think about it.

Another spin on a previous design. Made from shaped and sculpted metal sheets. Materials are 925 Sterling silver and 18k gold. Sold this at EF28 and it happened so fast haha. Likely I'll have something similar next time too!
