[+] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world -6 points 10 months ago (2 children) LOL, school curriculums are part of the "billionaire conspiracy" too? FFS. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Peanutbjelly@sopuli.xyz 11 points 10 months ago As someone aware of decades of legal battles to prevent the gutting of education systems, usually noticeable around local levels, you almost always end up at corpo think tanks like the heritage foundation. If you're familiar with the heritage foundation, they've been trying to run a project2025 style playbook for decades, and it is only through their success that current administration is a billionaire playground. Reminder that elon musk could directly choose for hundreds of thousands of children to die this year by taking aware their food and medicine, because he wanted to. Also billionaires got an unimaginably generous treatment at the same time, worth much more than all of the food and medicine. It's more an amalgam of cooperatively evil assholes, most of which have an absurd amount of money for some reason, but yeah, billionaires are a good chunk of why there are whole groups being funded to spend all day every day trying to kneecap educational efforts, or painting academics as evil satanists who are corrupting your children with science. permalink fedilink source parent [–] SleepyPie@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago* They are saying people who don’t understand high school basics are useful idiots for billionaires because they’re easily manipulated Nothing about a school curriculum conspiracy was mentioned, so it’s especially weird that you put billionaire conspiracy in quotes permalink fedilink source parent
