The left doesn’t like it, but the right doesn’t need them to.
Government schools were always a project of the left, going back to socialist John Dewey. It’s time to blow up the system.
And I hope we see a lot more of this sort of thing. Anger about schools could be a gateway drug to questioning leftist views on many other issues.

The biggest educational innovation is school choice.

Dems’ covid hysteria is driving away liberal mothers.
For Wagner, the ‘schools issue’ proved to be a gateway into seeing the world through another set of eyes.
She realized early in the pandemic that it was conservative sites who were reporting on the impact of school closures and concerns she had over curriculum.
She went from a casual viewer of CNN and MSNBC to seeking out Fox News clips about the ‘schools issue’ on YouTube because they were the only ones covering it.
Soon, she did the unthinkable: She just turned on Fox News itself. And she realized, ‘It’s not what CNN claims it to be.’
…Ashley warned, ‘I’m about as lefty as they come. I campaigned for Elizabeth Warren in 2020, Bernie Sanders in 2016, and Ralph Nader in 2000. Most of my views on specific issues haven’t changed… Now I don’t know if I can vote for any of them unless they reckon with what they did, and continue to do, to kids during this pandemic.’
‘I would even accept an apology, a mea culpa, a reflection on what they failed to do, and an effort to make it right. But I’m not holding my breath.’
Good plan. Because it will never happen. These morons’ egos will never allow it. Parents will remember for a long time how their kids were sacrificed at the pleasure of the Democrats and teachers’ unions. And there will be a terrible reckoning for them in November, just as there was in Virginia.
They haven’t been liberal for a great many years. That’s what she’s waking up to.
Ashley sounds like a mother who is most pissed that her children aren’t getting their proper dose of CRT.
Well that’s her fault that during Zoom classwork she’s allowing the systemic racism in her own household to persist and influence her children. Teachers on video can only accomplish so much….
Keep seeing people reference a poll showing more Democrats watch Fox than CNN and that makes some sense to me as Fox isn’t all the right wing except for a couple hosts. They parrot alot of the same stupid left wing bs as the others.
It will be interesting to see how schools play out. We need an ideological shift away from Marxism but our school system as a whole is bad. It produces wildly divergent outcomes where the raw capabilities of students aren’t the reason for the different outcomes.
