THIS IS A PREVIEW. FOR THE FULL EPISODE GO TO patreon.com/worstofall. Stanley read the episode notes for the podcast called “The Worst of All Possible Worlds #57: The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe.” He marveled at their ability to convey both the tone of the episode and the appropriate words necessary to take advantage of the SEO. Words like “Whizbang!“, “Gadzooks!“, and “The Truth About Vaccines!” None of these things were in the episode proper, of course, but Stanley could feel their power extending out to the furthest reaches of the world wide web. He gave thanks that these words would feed the Great Beast Algorith’m, whom Stanley knew all should fear and give praise. In fact, just thinking about the Great Beast Algorith’m made Stanley convulse with fright and involuntarily scream, but this terror was immediately satiated as Stanley grabbed hold of his Reassurance Bucket. “MMMM,” Stanley thought, “That’s GOOOOOOOOOOD Bucket.” TWOAPW Patreon https://www.patreon.com/WorstOfAll Theme by Brendan Dalton www.brendan-dalton.com https://brendandalton.bandcamp.com Media Referenced in this Episode: Davey Wreden & William Pugh: Life After The Stanley Parable by John Walker https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/davey-wreden-william-pugh-the-stanley-parable-interview

You’ve probably seen a lot of clips recently of the ongoing culture war coming to a flashpoint in school board meetings across the country. To learn how the reactionary right is using these conflicts to push for increased school privatization, Josh (@boshj) sat down with Wendy Lecker and Nicole Ciullo from the Education Law Center, a Newark-based organization that defends public schools and advocates in the courts for educational equity. This forty-minute interview covers topics such as the broader context for the current curriculum battle, the history of the mechanics of school funding and segregation, and how key players including former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos continue to push for laws that would further privatize education in the United States. Plus, at the end, enjoy a teaser for a Patreon-only episode, available now, where we recap a truly unhinged “documentary” that propagandizes for all aspects of the conservative educational project. Links and additional resources: THE EDUCATION LAW CENTER advocates for school funding equity in the state of New Jersey through research and litigation. They also provide resources and assistance to lawyers advocating for public schools across the country. Check out their publications and case history: https://edlawcenter.org PUBLIC FUNDS PUBLIC SCHOOLS is a project of the Education Law Center that follows public school privatization efforts.
