Somehow, you and I ended up seeing much different realities. And I have spent a good part of my life wondering how this happens.

This idea there is brain washing in our schools is just not true. Education is very good in most schools and colleges, just too expensive.We need affordable education like they have in the Nordic countries, and much of Europe.

Education protects our democracy and humanity better than anything else.

Think about it, every school district in the country hires people with different ideologies, plus most communities have school boards elected by the people that influence ideology.

So our education system is steered by democracy, not a deep state conspiracy.

How could there possible be any indoctrination when there are teachers that randomly span the entire spectrum of ideologies AT the local level in every community in the country?

I did a lot of substitute teaching years ago, and so saw a lot of different classrooms and what the teachers were teaching and I saw NO evidence of any sort of organized brain washing, just different ideas that spanned the spectrum from liberal to conservative.

I put my two kids in Montessorie at the age of 3 (because I knew how important it was) and when they hit kindergarten, those two years made all the difference, both were two years ahead of the rest of the kids, as one would expect, and why I believe we should provide every child with pre school and a hot meal, so every child enters kindergarten with a level playing field.

Society would benefit from a more highly educated populace.

My entire clan have advanced degrees, and we could teach our kids before kindergarten, but we all make sure the kids go to pre school as we know how important it is.

THE HARD TRUTH: And do you know why most teachers and scientists are liberals e.g. ONLY 6% of scientists are Republican and most are liberals (Pew poll).

It is because liberals embrace the science taught in schools. It is well known, that conservative kids often become liberals during college.

It is because the conservative ideology is NOT backed up by science e.g. evolution and global warming are settled science, and yet many Republicans do not believe in either. Or take the vaccine issue or the fact the science tells us the 2020 election was NOT stolen.

How can a scientist be a Republican when the party does not believe in something they KNOW is true, or false?

Cheers

So why is it so difficult these past 8 years understanding big gov wanting a dumber weaker sicker more dependent society? Isn't a big problem of the left, in that they believe in big govt? What of common sense and math?
Since Carter formed dept education in 1980, US has fallen from 1st globally, to 24th? In adding studies, documentaries from early 1900's proving Rockefeller, Ford Foundation began indoctrinating children through education. Has it ever stopped? Television was used 1940's to brainwash, Cia installed journalist 1948. 92% of top university professors are Dem/leftist. Why the push for student loans, and Clinton (Hillary working for big banks) Admin pass a bill, the loans could not be included in bankruptcy, and passed onto parent responsibility?
Does not commonsense in adding 120 years, say education on the federal level has been used to control?

And this is also why Trump's plan to get rid of the Department of Education is sacrilegious in humanitarian terms!
