Well apparently she learned nothing.
The AFT is all about woke teachers. Government schools are all about indoctrination, not teaching.
And they all smell like elderberries.
Incredible!
The “public” schools aren’t in any way intellectually honest, but are the “school to Democrat” pipeline which everyone is compelled to support. Yet people shouldn’t even be able to opt out of that, even if they have to pay *again* to do so!
I’ve come to recognize myself as victimized by this system. My votes as a young adult were stolen from me, but not only that. So much of my life was negatively affected by the drastic one-sidedness of public education coupled with Hollywood entertainment.
It’s not that I’d have always 100% agreed with Republicans or 100% disagreed with Democrats, but I’d just had a better understanding of truth and reality in general. It makes me understand how, as Yeonmi Park has said, North Koreans are brainwashed. This is somewhat probably just a function of societies in general throughout history, but in modern “advanced” societies of the “global village,” it’s too easy for institutions like schools and political parties to get too much power.
What’s so discouraging is to see our young people come out of these institutions completely brainwashed and voting Democrat. So many are so smug they think they’re going to educate YOU about how things “ought to be” and spout out nonsense about Republicans are only for protecting their rich buddies and large corporations.
I’ve seen this in my own family. Takes a few year before they see the light - usually around age 30 and after they’ve seen how much they’re being taxed. But not always, unfortunately.
Yes, I was thinking about this last night.
I’m “transpolitical” myself. Like just about every American these days, I was “assigned Democrat at birth.”
But those years that I was a malinformed Democrat without realizing it matter. They are not just water under the bridge. They’re not gone. They’ve gone into forming my life and my effect on the world.
Like I said, I don’t and never have nor will completely agree on everything all the time with either party, which is why I was willing to read conservatives and listen to conservatives as a Democrat. I thought that was American, according to Democrats. I wouldn’t vote Democrat again, but in a clunky system where all of truth and life is being divided into only two options by politics, I can’t take either party religiously. Neither one is “the way, the truth , and the life.” They do try to present themselves that way to some extent, and especially now Democrats, apparently backed up by WEF crowd.
I’ll add that I do see exactly the same things.
We’ve effectively been reformed into a one-party country, and only wealthy elite Republicans are acceptable to Democrats. I’m not saying there isn’t narcissism in everyone, as the Bible says so, and extreme narcissism everywhere, in every group, but they have a completely unchecked narcissism that is constantly being fed. I realized years ago that the real diehard ones think they are right about one gazillion times while conservatives never are, in their minds. And now, they’re more open to saying so. It’s the worst of human nature being exploited. Someone posted a thread about a demonic spirit being in control. I think so, capitalizing and binding everyone, from the very rich on down. The very rich aren’t “free” either, but are caught up in competition and trying to plug spiritual holes.
