Governor Kim Reynolds never misses a chance to tell Iowans how much she cares about families, education, and health. But when you look at her record, it’s clear her policies are doing the exact opposite.
She talks about protecting our kids, yet the state keeps pushing prescription drugs like oxycodone, Xanax, and all the other chemical quick-fixes that wreck lives. We’ve got teenagers hooked on pills that are easier to find than a doctor willing to recommend medical cannabis. If you really cared about Iowans, Governor, wouldn’t you fight for the medicine that saves lives instead of the one that ends them?
And then there’s her so-called “education leadership.” The same governor who brags about improving Iowa schools just let the Des Moines district put someone with questionable legal status in charge of the whole system. How’s that possible under the education reforms she championed? She promised better oversight, but the only thing we’ve gotten is confusion and hypocrisy.
Isn’t Kim Reynolds supposed to be the Education Governor? Isn’t her daughter a teacher? If so, maybe she should ask her daughter what it’s like to teach in a system that’s falling apart from bad policy and political hypocrisy.
The truth is, Reynolds’ Iowa is a place where Big Pharma cashes in, our kids fall through the cracks, and our schools turn into political battlegrounds. It’s time someone called it what it is — not leadership, but negligence.
