Why not snail collectors? Or food taste testers? Or veterinary assistants? Or any other job equally unqualified to teach? Yeah, I know it’s because they think veterans are automatically conservatives, but putting veterans through active shooter drills certainly won’t have downsides… /s
A lot of states have a lot of programs for placing veterens in careers when they return from service… I can’t say anything about this one specifically, but in general, I think it’s mostly about the difficulty they have assimilating after coming back.
DeSantis specifically stated that it was to get rid of “woke indoctrination in schools” when he enacted a very similar program in Florida. So, while you are correct that most veteran employment programs used to be about that, the recent teacher one is more about the shitty right wing politics.
Arizona has a fast lane for veterans to become teachers.
