(2,403 posts)Blame the schools for every g.d. thing, and I am sick and tired of it because it is wrong.
The schools have never been the problem. This has been a concerted attempt over many decades of the right trying to destroy the United States. The billionaires lie at the root of the problem. Demonizing public education is a big part of it, by the way. Murdoch getting hold of a large share of US media and twisting it into the disgusting UK-style media that blends opinion with news to the point nobody knows for sure what the truth is plays a huge part in this. So are religious beliefs and family upbringing.
Schools are not propaganda centers to "warn us of the fragility of our forebears' achievements." That is pushing forward an opinion. That is NOT their job. Public schools are supposed to be neutral. If you want slanted "education," go to one of those shitty private schools, schools which should not exist in the first place.
