MODERATORS
Yup.
I see conservatives have already shifted from "take politics out of the classroom" to "put our politics into the classroom".
That's what it always was. Many people view. "Politics" as simply being anything they don't like or disagree with.
Or anything that's not the status quo.
This is common, and it's why a lot of conservatives describe themselves as "not political" while acting and voting conservative. From their perspective it's just all these annoying people stirring things up and demanding change to a perfectly good situation who are the political ones.
In general, when someone says "I'm not political," I hear "I'm unreflectively conservative."
If someone is lobbying for climate change denial then they’re guilty of something morally akin to treason, but it’s not treason itself because instead of just betraying just their country they’re betraying their entire species.
