“In a video message, an “ecstatic” PragerU CEO Marissa Streit announced the “move into schools,” claiming “parents have been frustrated, teachers have been frustrated,” because “schools have been hijacked by the left”
Assuming there’s any truth at all to it, why is the go-to solution to schools being hijacked by the left for them to now be hijacked by the right?
By trying to present themselves as the center instead of the far-right, they slowly move people’s’ conception of what the “center” is further and further right. It’s been happening for decades.
I think many schools are left leaning. Two effects of that are tolerance and inclusion, which I am certainly in favor of even if I don’t like every liberal policy.
They’re left leaning in the sense that education as a whole is ‘left leaning’. It’s why the right fucking haaate people getting an education, because it helps you see through obviously bullshit
Let’s say there’s a spectrum, left to center to right, and there are a hundred political positions evenly distributed between the center and each extreme. I’m willing to accept that schools are 10 places over to the left, because “treat all people equitably” is both a left value and a necessary part of living in a free society. But this response is to pick a position maybe seventy slots over onn the right, and pretend that’s equivalent to the “left propaganda” of “Billy has two mommies, and that’s ok.”

Because it’s parent’s rights to enforce certain learnings UNLESS it’s progressive teachings apparently.
I want my IWW-sponsored curriculum! If we have to deal with this shit, it should at least be real.
