Police aren't working class, I don't make the rules

that's what an ideal union is

Almost all of it is, or at least originates, from racism, at least with schools.

When public schools allowed racial integration , school choice became a mechanism for racists to pull their kids from mixed schools.

It grew into things like charter schools that are private, often religious, schools that get public funding and maintain segregation.

It's a classic conservative propaganda technique to name their evil plans the opposite of what they actually mean. If it contains the word "freedom" it's about tyranny. If it says "protect" it means persecution, and if it says "children" just mentally append "fuck" in front of it.

Because of all this competition we have in the market! With many schools near your home, they compete for your conforming child's business. What with the labor shortage, we have all these employers with that good health insurance competing for our time. And of course, small farmers are doing great and supply our many competing food markets.

It’s the I can afford it so screw you, individual short term thinking.

It assumes they’ll never need help themselves especially as they get older.

Because they are idiots and evil politicians and news media spin it that way.

I can't think of anything dumber than labeling intelligence as evil....

So of course Republicans do that

I'm not sleeping or functionally retarded. I am the boogeyman

biggest threats to conservatives are educators, professors, teachers,,,etc.

But that's what cops do

Well, you can't choose your parents...

he seems to be confusing it with catholic priests? they shuffle them around for sure, and also any evangelical pastors too. "terrible teachers" usually get booted from the industry quite quickly.

Are people really upset at... bad teachers? with everything else going on?? Like I also had a few bad teachers as a kid, but I also had a future with a biosphere that can sustain life. Maybe we should focus on the actually existential one here.

Where "bad teacher" is "teacher who taught the kids critical thinking and science so they started asking uncomfortable questions".

I think he's confused them with police unions.

they arnt, even in blue areas while thier wages are much higher, the hcol kinda negates it, unless you somehow can make it to 10+years as a teacher you will get close to 100k, usually teachers often supported by thier SOs most of the time.

it should be 100k from the start. they are dealing with admins with red tape bratty children, unruly parents, children that arnt willing to learn,,,etc.

It should also be noted that they must be malleable beneath the threshold of the GOPs competence. So to effectively manipulate, the GOP needs a population more ignorant than the DNC does. The left can afford smarter ppl because the leadership itself is more competent, it ain't like education isn't being gutted in blue states as well

Only problem with that is that a society like that becomes very unsuccessful, lowering the standard of living for everyone, including the rich.

Also cutting education now has no effect for about 25 years or so(in their view. Its approximately right but not completely true...) Their short term brainrot is so bad they would abolish education entirely in a heart beat and coast on those miniscule savings for a few decades until the world rips itself apart...

Also, my pet conspiracy is they all know the world is going to devolve into chaos due to global heating and climate destabilization anyways so why should they care about education when its not going to produce anything worthwhile when the chaos hits... from what I'm seeing 2040 is where things get dicey and most things have inflected negative. 2050 is where things break down genuinely. Too many bad things happen at once...
