“They don’t want to engage in this banning of books or censoring of honest history or undermining who kids are,” Randi Weingarten, the teachers union president told The Associated Press on Wednesday, characterizing the candidates who won as “pro-public school.”
It's sad that we've gotten to a point where this has to be a fight.
Is there any reasonable stance a person could hold, where teachers unions would be a "frequent foe"?
Imagine always knowing better than teachers, doctors, historians, fact checkers, other parents, and virtually any expert or intellectual. I can't even wrap my head around that level of ego. The mind boggles.
Easy explanation! They aren't comparing brain pans with those people, they're saying those 'experts' have an agenda and they're smart enough to see through it.
"All the smarties want X, so I hate it!" isnt exactly a strong stance either.
I suspect future historians (if we survive as a species) will think of this time as another Dark Ages.
Nah we recording it all pretty well these days, buuuuut, I get what you’re saying. People are behaving like they did in the dark ages.
Social media is scary.
Sweet old grandma from down the street that used to give you treats, she was always apolitical, loving and an all around warm person. Nowadays instead of telling you to eat all your vegetables and be kind to your neighbor she says, “I seen on Facebook that they’re poisoning the water supply so more kids become trans. They’ve started executing Christians in California for not being gay. They’re trying to kill off old people with shots so that the communists can take control and force sterilize white people. Be sure to vote Hitler honey. They’ve been keeping him alive in Russia with experimental drugs and he’s escaped to save us all. Oh yeah, did you hear about Marlene dying after she got a shot. She was a perfectly healthy 99 year old woman. So young, it just don’t make sense why the democrats wanted her dead.”
I don’t think we can survive having access to endless information. It would be nice if we were all smart enough to handle it and sift through the bullshit, but people exist who believe the world is flat because some jackass on social media said so.
