I think the kind of people who would teach children about the mutability of sex, their feelings are the most important moral compass they could imagine, leveraging no winner mentality, medications for many young boys who are expected to act like little girls, cultural relevatism and the piece de resistance - leveraging grievance no matter how minor, irrelevant, hypocritical or ludacrisly privileged it may be.
I guess if you went to university with the idea that all tertiary education would lead to success but you studied one of the activist greivence humanities topics the idealogical pipe lines has left you pretty jaded.
Thank you Adam. You are right on the mark about what's wrong with education. We are adultifying kids. Adults have no idea anymore what is age appropriate. I teach ESL in a large urban school district in a liberal part of the country. I get to see the assignments that teachers give our students. So many of them are about political topics like immigration, racism, etc. A large portion of assignments ask questions like, "What do you think about this tragedy? How does this act by white people compare to what happened in the holocaust." Very few assignments ask kids to read a passage and then find answers to comprehension questions. Adults are failing our kids.
My son hates politics. I got him a green MAGA hat for Christmas (mostly to troll him) and he wore inside his school. (I bought my husband a series of MAGA meme cookbooks for Christmas and didn’t want the boy to miss out on the joke. He loves a good joke!) Until he didn’t wanna wear it anymore. He’s in high school and I thought ‘dude’s brave than me!’ I don’t wear my MAGA cap in public much ‘cuz people are mental these days and you never know who’s going to go off on you.
I find it odd that we are taking away many spaces that used to be for kids and families. The play land at McD’s used to be a staple, but now it’s rare to find one still operating. If you make it hard for families to be families, then less people will want families.
I was a weirdo when I was in school because I liked following the political drama with my dad. He couldn’t get enough of ‘knowing what was going on’. These days, my kid’s the weirdo because he doesn’t want to follow the drama at all, but it’s forced upon him b/c politics is everywhere.
I hate identity politics with a deep passion these days. I don’t hate people b/c they have different ideas or are different from me. I get frustrated by them b/c most people are jerks if you disagree with them these days. I don’t like jerks, even when I agree with them. 😂🫣.
