    “In a video message, an “ecstatic” PragerU CEO Marissa Streit announced the “move into schools,” claiming “parents have been frustrated, teachers have been frustrated,” because “schools have been hijacked by the left”

    Assuming there’s any truth at all to it, why is the go-to solution to schools being hijacked by the left for them to now be hijacked by the right?

      By trying to present themselves as the center instead of the far-right, they slowly move people’s’ conception of what the “center” is further and further right. It’s been happening for decades.

      I think many schools are left leaning. Two effects of that are tolerance and inclusion, which I am certainly in favor of even if I don’t like every liberal policy.

        They’re left leaning in the sense that education as a whole is ‘left leaning’. It’s why the right fucking haaate people getting an education, because it helps you see through obviously bullshit
