a generation??? the populace ALREADY doesn't know any better... like... they voted for him (or were indifferent enough to not show up at the polls, which is almost the same thing)
Yup. This goes way deeper than Trump, conservative undermining of education has been in the works for decades, since Reagan. Adam Conover explains it well in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlAb_8bDHjE
its not only on REP sides, while better in blue areas, it still pretty underfunded and its almost never addressed at the state level either. all they are doing in most case is rasing property taxes to fund it. makes them an easy target for military(im thinking its the reason why they dont want fully fund education,tutoring(alot of hs students would benefit from tutoring services.), low wage workers, and PRIson-pipe line is the next best thing.
That’s the part that made me the most upset is… YOU ALWAYS VOTE! Regardless of party affiliation! People in other countries do NOT have the PRIVILEGE that our nation FOUGHT to protect and at the VERY FUCKING LEAST you can do is… get off your lazy asses and VOTE!
I think it’s embarrassing that “undecided” is even an option, it’s a fucking choice; do your damn research, read many articles, don’t fall prey to the US gaslighting propaganda on all MAJOR news channels, follow both candidates, and if at that point; you still have reached the, “Owen Wilson Idiocracy Affect” flip a fucking coin… but for the love of god vote!
OMISSION of voting resulted in this travesty… no excuses you have the same internet we all have, yet you CHOOSE this and now we all have to suffer, just fucking lovely.
Honestly, since we fought for our rights to vote and gained them from the British all we have done is eventually bring us right back to that same fate and demise! Germany is looking a hell of a lot better than the US in recent years, we can’t even elect a woman president! 🤦🏽♀️ and we don’t even crack the top ten lists in anything… but yes, gut education, that will make us great again?!
New MAGA slogan: Make America God Awful
George Washington et al “fought to protect” pretty early on. A hundred years before France was bringing out the guillotines. So in that sense, the US has the antiquated system, which never really adapted.
Um… what?
Where did I single out France or guillotines? And/or mention anything that you are stating other than Washington fighting for our rights as its own country and not under a monarchy?
You do know that France actually HELPED us, to gain our own independence, right? I am just honestly confused on your comment. (Not mean, just wanting to know).
Agreed, but if it's that bad now wait until the next generation grows up without an education; you won't even need an electoral college or gerrymandering to swing votes.
Again, not like a vote will ever take place in the US anymore. Kings don't need elections to stay in power.
I dont think there was a department of education in the 1700s or 1800s and people seemed to know how to overthrow their kings.
