Only folks on Earth II believe that our schools are infested with a curriculum of critical race theory and promoting a transgender agenda.

Culture War politics just got its ass kicked last month in midterms.

You and jabba sound like nutjobs.

deflection here…..try to pleasantly surprise me, please.

It is a form of censorship. Please note that it is always Republican majority legislatures that enact such culture war legislation.

I leave it to parents and principals to monitor what schoolchildren are taught.

And I believe that critical race theory is often taken out of context, and has become a political toy for the right and the right’s news outlets. See link.

That is, it is overblown and part of a “fear” agenda to frighten folks that Suzie and Johnny are being taught their parents are racists or that Suzie and Johnny are being groomed.

It just seems like nonsense to me.

Why should the people's representatives, who were voted into office by, you know, the majority in our representative democracy, not be allowed to decide what should be taught in government-run schools?

It seems that's their job.

Is your argument that we should allow teachers to teach whatever ideology they want; whether that be the CRT ideology, or the Christian ideology, or the Republican ideology?

Credit due for allowing parents to have a say. If parents vote to keep CRT out of the classroom, as was done in VA, do you support that?

I believe we should recruit the best and brightest to teach in our schools, and that funding salaries and resources should be a top priority.

I believe schools should provide good meals, and serve as backstop to provide nutrition, dental and medical care, mentoring, and counseling to kids from poor and dysfunctional households.

I believe we should tap into the retired segment of communities to enlist volunteer mentoring, particularly after school. Ton of talent amongst the retired population who are more than willing to volunteer their time and talent.

School teachers are special Americans. With few exceptions, I believe they do their best to educate our children. Every teacher brings his/her life experiences into the classroom. That is all part of learning.

wherever you see a high performing School District you'll find above average home prices...the value is clear.

As you suggested, it isn't just more $$, which is desperately needed, it's adding a little more to fund state and federal programs for volunteers...especially those with experience and time....anecdotally, a 'grandma' my wife I worked alongside in a volunteer food program related how her granddaughter was getting poor grades...so she took some extra time to help her hard working kids by spending a couple of hours with her after school...just focused on making sure she got all her assignments done each day and answering questions...those "D's and C's" turned into "B's and A's" in short order...the ability was always there, she just needed a little help...true story.

Have a very happy Thanksgiving.

...graduated 70% who were functionally illiterate and have been granted $80M for the 2023 school year!

Nothing wrong goin 'on here.

The good news is that he's terrible at crafting intelligent arguments, so the bad guys he's defending likely end up paying their debt to society. The bad news is, so have the innocent people he works for.

My initial foray into this subject was simply made to expose how media is used to manipulate voters and used the whole "Don't say gay bill" thing as an example. Tyranny then showed himself to be a full-on deviant, which I responded to and now you have added yourself to the list.

This is you making things up again. You can't name posters who post hateful things about gays (because it's 2022 and we all stopped caring about gays 25 years ago) and you can't find a post where I've said schools are infested with a racial or transgender agenda.

It would be nice if you at least pretended to be a credible person, counselor.

Conor actively participates in the practice...

"When certain obstructionists become too irritating, label them after suitable buildups as fascist or Nazi or anti-semitic..." or racist or bigoted or hateful...

This is all a tool of the left to distract from their power grab. It's good to take note of these behaviors, but it's even more important that we don't keep heaping power and responsibility onto the Presidency and it's appointees.

I like to make fun of Chris, Creeper, and Jim, but I felt like I would have been crossing a line by lumping them in with Tryanny.
