Kids are the only ones dumb enough to believe them at this point. And they're a captive audience in a classroom

To me, little kids are completely off-limits. They need protection before all else. Older kids can learn some things, especially during puberty.

But what I mean by off-limits is that there's a kid's world and an adult's world

And we do not mix those two unless it's like

Parent-kid

We need to bring back civics classes

Mandatory class, every year through highschool

We first need to abolish the patriarchy reeee

Ehhh I'm not sure that's a good idea.
Who is going to determine what gets taught as the rights and duties of citizenship?

In the current climate I'd say the "new civics" is probably just as insane as everything else

Or will be depending on who is teaching it

I'm pretty sure we can't make progress before men don't have pregnancies and menstrual cycles

So please take that into consideration

Civics in the sense of making sure they understand the values the country was founded on, individual liberty within society and checks and balances within politics

And understanding what those values mean

You don't think that message will be corrupted by the "America was never great" and "America is the most destructive place on earth" crowd

I think you have to clean house before this would work out

According to feminist theory, women are the solution
According to trans theory, gender identity is the solution
They're opposed to each other, but both are opposed to the patriarchy in their own way

Meaning we can't teach values anymore

Shit

The solution is to end public schools

Lol.

Well that may be a bit radical.

We need to educate children. Just need a "secular" method and curriculum

If the state can't teach specific values anymore, then no public representative should be able to teach values at all

This is the only way to combat the value-destruction that's happening right now

Give it to the citizen

It's even better than democracy

Because no one would have any power over those values anymore

I could point to a few experiments, like Norway

Where perfect gender equality is pretty much achieved

It's the most gender normative country in the west

Homeschool kids always turn out as the weirdest or most balanced people. Depends on the parent

Yeah, I'm actually opposed to homeschooling

Not as law, but as a personal choice

Afaik quite a few people here tend to like the idea that schools should teach how to think, not what to think, right?

Yes

Once knew a homeschooled kid who would chase me because longboarding is satanism

They're meant to just fill your toolbox, not build the world view for you

Damn, the homeschool kids I knew are the ones that got me into longboarding
