I wasn't on Twitter before that nice Mr Musk suggested that everyone go to Mastodon, and I don't expect to be very active here, but who knows?

Some years ago, in the UK there was an election which the Liberal Democrat candidate was expected to win, with the Conservative candidate a close second. So the Conservatives got someone to run as a "Literal Democrat", he picked up a bunch of votes from people who didn't read carefully, and the Conservatives won. (The election regulations got changed after that so we didn't get the otherwise-inevitable deluge of "Conversatives" and "Literal Democrats" fighting to see who could confuse more voters.)
Are these people hoping to attract parents who think they're getting a Montessori school? It seems kinda unlikely, so I guess they either don't know or don't care about the similarity in name. Neither is very encouraging.
