@MissouriChamber is STILL pushing DEI.

2024 DEI Conference.
Why? @LtGovMikeKehoe is endorsed by the Missouri Chamber and running for Missouri Governor 2024.
The Chamber is a leftist lobby that no conservative should be working with. #moleg pic.twitter.com/4JA6mRJMEU

David Rice has written an excellent article, Chamber of Commerce or Radical Left Communism?, about the role of local chambers of commerce in subverting our communities. In particular, our local schools are often partners with the Chamber of Commerce, allowing the implementation of agendas that turn our schools into tools for multinationals and businesses that seek compliant, submissive workers--not well-rounded, thinking individuals.

In fact, you should check out who in your local school district is also members and even board members of the chambers of commerce.
It's not just Springfield. Ozark and Clever have current or former school staff and school board members who are also involved with their chambers of commerce. Nixa is not immune, either. The sad thing is that many Chamber members and even school leaders are not aware or fully aware of the agendas they are helping to enforce. It's time they knew.

These public/private partnerships always end up serving the interests of business and not students or taxpayers. From David's article: "The people who support the radicalization of the Greater Springfield Area will give up our ability to self-govern if it enriches them. In fact, they are eager to help radicalize our children so they are incapable of rational thought and using their liberty responsibly."
If you've been wondering why our schools have become pipelines for SEL, DEI, and trauma-based education, you can thank organizations like the Chamber of Commerce, as well as government. It's time to take our schools back from Business, and make them about the business of education.
UPDATE: This is what our chambers are up to--
The Missouri Chamber of Commerce 2030 plan wants to commandeer education systems. #moleg pic.twitter.com/7KyPUhUPKR
