One of my siblings is going to school once a week, I think lockdowns definitely fried some brains.
It’s been the plan for like 100 years, no joke.
Ever since the formation of public schooling in the US libertarians and Christians have been trying to tear it apart.
In the beginning public schooling was extremely popular due to obvious reasons. Parents generally want to see their kids get educated and do better than them in life. So the dissenting voices were ignored easily.
Since the 1960s up until today (the end of segregation- classic American moment for people to lose their shit) it’s been a simmering subject. COVID and just broadly the last decade or so seems to be pushing it into a full boil.
They’re smart enough to not openly push for abolishing education (usually) and that’s why they push for state sponsored school vouchers which shifts funding from public -> private.
Yeah seeing the death of public school in real time is fucking wild. Especially the school voucher shit, it’s like watching the 2008 economic crisis as a Marxist and saying “WHOA DO NOT DO THAT OH MY GOD” but for public education.
