    yea. “society.” which i guess is distinct from the parents that make up society?

    yea, everyone wants to be able to tell everyone else how to raise their kids, but unfortunately that’s not how the world works. if some kid comes home and says the history teacher told them the civil war was about ending slavery, and the parents say that’s all lies, it was about the north victimizing the south, then do you honestly think that kid is going to listen to the teacher (society) over their parents?

    good job putting me in my place though

      I’m just shocked to see people agree with MAGA on the topic of education but claim to not be MAGA…

      Like, can you at least say that you think public education should be a thing tho?

        yes, public education should be a thing, is important, etc.

        but despite all this public education, if parents are negating it at every turn, then what that means is that dumb kids come from dumb parents. yes, dumb kids come from smart parents too, thanks to society telling them they need to be on instagram 20 hours a day.

        you can call me maga if that makes you feel like you’ve hurt my feelings, but i assure you, i don’t care what you think. parents have a bigger role in raising kids than society ever has, and ever will. i’m not claiming whether that’s good or bad either way, just that it’s how it is. we do absolutely need high quality public education rooted in facts and science.

        but who is sabotaging this? dumb parents
