we really dont say it often enough - the one of the main goals of the Republican Party is to end public education so that they can send their kids to segregated schools (where the kids learn that the earth is flat and slavery was great) and make us pay the bill.
@anathematrix @courtcan I’m getting real tired of subversive bullshit from the righteous white Christian superiority political party slyly legislating the end of freedom from their religion pushing authoritarian theocracy upon America at the small community local level through “teaching the kids” by destroying public education - among other commandments of their beliefs being enshrined into our government’s laws.
@anathematrix ...and pay for it with tax money from everyone else.

@anathematrix it's worse -- that's a great side effect for them for sure, but their goal is to make it so only their kids get an education that gives critical thought as they strangle the public schools of cash and charter schools often have worse outcomes.

year on year we get closer to having only the rich private schools teach what's needed to be informed

and people don't notice, because their schools were more funded than the current generation, for any current generation past like 1980

@anathematrix they would gladly send other people’s kids too. Just you know not the same segregated schools. They might look like factories.
@anathematrix looking at how British Schools are falling apart I think the Tories are running a very similar game.
For that matter it is one of the goals of the global Fascist takeover affecting every nation on Earth right now.
