We don't need no education: Now Arizona says teachers don't require college degrees

Just last week, as Salon reported, a new set of "model" social studies state standards released by a right-wing coalition called the Civics Alliance took a detour into teacher credentialing. While most of the model standards covered guidance for state legislators to press for anti-"woke" history and civics curricula (i.e., lectures on the "George Floyd Riots" or how America's founding principles are "rooted in Christian thought"), the document also calls for reforming teaching licensing processes so as to "end the gatekeeping power of the education schools and departments."

Last week, just days after the Arizona legislature passed the most expansive school voucher law anywhere in the nation, Gov. Doug Ducey signed into law another education measure decreeing that public school teachers are no longer required to have a college degree of any kind before being hired.

Soon all Republican controlled states will be taught by teachers who could barely get high school diplomas, and teachers aids who could not even get high school diplomas.
