I’ve always been low-key against public schools out of fear that the government would use its monopoly on primary education to indoctrinate us, but my friends would always call me paranoid etc and I mostly believed them
Now with all this Critical Gender/Race Theory showing up in K-12 curricula, however, it seems I was right. Fuck, I wanted to be wrong on this one.

@wiggles I was already in graduate school by 2006; so I was never in a position to see any of this that early on. At least with gender ideology, there are videos back from the 90s Kate Bornstein saying some of the same stuff that’s now crazy mainstream.
My undergrad was in a state university in a small town, but I do think I saw the beginning of a lot of the hard-left mindset from my professors at the time. I’m actually really curious how on-campus Christian miniseries are coping with this (I was involved with Campus Crusade and Intervarsity for a bit but left the faith during University). There was at least one case recently of a Christian student council member at a university that was harassed for her opposition to a rainbow flag.
I had a psychology professor talk about how it’s very difficult to climb the social ladder (the George Carlin school of you have to be asleep to believe the American dream school of thinking) and both me and a lot of my friends hated the police, mostly due to a lot of people getting bused for drugs.
I really worry that an earlier me would be knee deep in this defund the police garbage. But I think living outside America for years and growing up a lot has made me not hate the police and no longer hate America.
I think back to that professor talking about how it’s difficult to change your social class in America. She didn’t mention that, even though it’s hard, it’s still easier than a lot of the world. I also never thought about the fact that my dad grew up in a war in India, got his degree, got a visa, brought his family to the US and literally lived the supposedly elusive American dream.

@djsumdog I know teachers personally as an adult who like this woke shit; I may even be related to one? I haven’t inquired and don’t want to know that person’s views on the topic; I’m not looking to create toxic family dynamics.
It’s hard for me to talk about my educational history without worrying that I might doxx myself, but I was exposed to Critical Race Theory for the first time in the public school system as part of an advanced program in 2006, so it’s important to realize that this rot has been around for awhile already in “trendy” academic programs and I think higher education.
What we’re seeing now are the results of these departments in Universities having been already completely taken over and producing activists, some of whom are teachers, so I’m worried that people are only just starting to notice what has happened, and the Democrats seem eager to adopt it, both at the party level and, anecdotally, the individual outspoken Democrats that I know, as well.

official curriculum and what’s actually taught are separate things
What? Are you saying that if Critical Social Justice is on the curriculum I shouldn’t worry because it won’t get taught? …. or …?
