Tuberville Criticizes Public School System<\/h2>\n<p>Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) recently appeared on Donald Trump Jr.&#8217;s podcast Triggered, where he criticized the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sf-school-board-president-accuses-mayor-of-division-for-criticizing-renaming-re-opening-plans\/\" title=\"SF School Board President Accuses Mayor Of \u2018Division\u2019 For Criticizing Renaming, Re-Opening Plans\">public school system<\/a> in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Tuberville claimed that he does not know how inner-city school teachers received a college degree.<\/p>\n<h3>23 Public Schools in Baltimore Without Proficient Math Students<\/h3>\n<p>Tuberville pointed to a recent study that claimed 23 public schools in Baltimore did not have any students who were proficient in math. He expanded on his criticism, stating that he was not even sure if the teachers could &#8220;read or write,&#8221; and he claimed that &#8220;work ethic&#8221; had been ruined in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know whether they can read and write. And they want a raise. They want less time to work, less time in school,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s just, we\u2019ve ruined work ethic in this country. We don\u2019t work at it anymore. We push an easy life. If you can\u2019t read and if you can\u2019t write, you can\u2019t live in a country like this and not have somebody help you make it through life, which is what a lot of this government wants.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Mayor of Birmingham Responds<\/h3>\n<p>Mayor Randall Woodfin of Birmingham, Alabama, responded to Tuberville&#8217;s comments on Twitter, expressing disappointment and defending the hardworking teachers in his community. &#8220;Our teachers are at the forefront of these efforts. They deserve praise and support \u2014 not ridicule \u2014 from all of us \u2014 including an elected official who previously made millions off the backs of the black students our teachers have produced,&#8221; he tweeted.<\/p>\n<h3>Public School Test Scores Drop<\/h3>\n<p>Public schools have seen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tuberville-criticizes-inner-city-schools-questions-teachers-qualifications\/\" title=\"Tuberville criticizes inner-city schools, questions teachers' qualifications.\">test scores drop drastically<\/a> since the beginning of the pandemic, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nations-report-card-shows-largest-drop-ever-in-math-scores-due-to-pandemic-era-policies\/\" title=\"\"Nation's Report Card\" Shows Largest Drop Ever in Math Scores Due to Pandemic-Era Policies\">eighth grade scores<\/a> in history and civics this year reduced to 1990s level test scores, according to the Nation\u2019s Report Card.

He is currently holding up the promotions of certain military officers as a protest against Pentagon policies related to abortion.
