I'm sure the dumbasses that voted for this asshole will be able to make a connection between priorities like this and lowering the price of eggs and bacon.
I love the use of these vague terms of “wokeness” and “left-wing indoctrination” which can change meaning any time to fit whatever narrative is trying to be pushed 😑
Teacher: "Slavery was bad."
Republicans: "We need to end this indoctrination of our children."
This isn't an exaggeration, this literally has been happening already before the GOP controlled the entire federal government.
Anything that makes "white kids" uncomfortable or "guilty" is being banned which 100% includes the mention of slavery.
Or maybe parents shouldn't tie their identity to traitorous states that murdered Americans so rich people could own black people.
Fuck trump
Anytime you see the word "woke" or "wokeness" from a conservative, replace it with "kindness".
IMHO "compassion" would be a better substitute.
Sometimes it's just intelligence. They're very proud of their ignorance and hate.
In a hilarious way if he destroys the federal department of education he can no longer tell states what they are allowed to teach
Republicans aren't actually pro small government/freedom. That's all just opposition rhetoric. When they are in power, it's as much government in your face as possible.
Balkanization is really one of the only possible paths out of this, I feel like.
But then we'll all have crazy far right nutjobs doing cross-border raids, because they've shown for decades that they are incapable of running a state and keeping it solvent without help from the (now defunct) federal government.
Theyd only be raiders so long as nobody decides to wipe them out, and frankly speaking theyd probably get whittled down by most folks over time. Hell I could see raiders from sub-urban areas being the basis for a polis system emerging in red states.
Can all the assholes move to Idaho? Seems it is their kind of "freedom".
Vulcanuzation?
Google and Wikipedia are your friends if you know how to use them. Maybe learn a bit about Yugoslavia.
End wokeness, bring back naptime!
Naps, the best daytime cure for woke.
I've been woke for way too long.
Can't wait to have the public school system completely dismantled in favor of charter schools... You know those for profit, less regulated, fund stealing... Alternative schools to public ones that they have been trying to push for years now... They also cost money who would of thought
Also, those public schools have to take your kids.
Charter or Private Schools? Nope. If your kid is a dumbass or dicks around too much and gets shitty grades sorry, homey. We don't want your kid. Oh, there's no other schools? Tough titty.
The flip side of this is charter schools aren't required to take special needs kids, either. Oh, your kid has Down Syndrome or is Autistic and needs additional staff or effort? Sorry, they're not welcome here. They have to go to the public school. The public school doesn't have enough funding to afford Special Ed teachers because it's all been vouchered away to charter schools? Tough titty.
Public schools work because the money pays for things like Special Education and Gifted and Talented programs. Charter schools can't afford either, so they don't provide either. Even ignoring the possible pitfalls of for-profit motives, you're going to end up with a weakened education system because without collective funding, all education must be geared towards the statistical average.
And without the department of education they won't track who is falling behind or not... So it must be fine....
Also Reading scores are falling and thats exactly what they want... Can't stay informed if its not given to you on 10 sec clips... Which is why we are where we are...
Let's not forget about how he wants to end the department of education... Lets just get segregation back even though you are going to kick out all the people of color from this country... Say goodbye to financial aid to make it harder for poor people to get educated when you have to pay for your school....
Even if only Half of the shit he wants to do gets through it's already too much ..
I'm already sick of hearing about him again multiple times a day... I was so relieved when he wasn't president the last time and we heard almost nothing about Biden... It was refreshing...
No state oversight of curriculum, so ripe for indoctrinating.
No more diversity, equality and inclusion. Instead there'll be discrimination, inequality and exclusion.
Apt acronym: DIE vs DEI
We are already completely indoctrinated into capitalism at school. We dont learn of our country's wrong doings to their own civilians. We dont learn of any other method of governing even just to inspect and question it. We are already in capitalist indoctrination camps. The left does not actually exist in this country because you can't do anything that potentially harms profits if you aren't an elite.
Great another president that wants to start wars against ideas and facets of culture 🙄
Oh, they tried to do this in sweden. They have promissed an examination of "wokeness" in higher education. They celebrated a university forbidding "any conversation a passer by could interpret as political". They have not started it yet, and they just changed the guy that is supposed to be the anti-woke minister in this context after the summer. So we will share this journey.
