It's just like the Music thing way back when that Tipper Gore tried to push

Just now it's video games

Wasn't hillary in on that thing to when it happened?

I don't remember

iirc, hillary was on the 'videogames are the spawn of satan' bandwagon way back when

Lul

seriously though, how did we get to video games again? Blaming guns hasn't worked out, so we go after games now?

I'm not sure it ever went away

Why is it so difficult for media and politicians to believe that human beings are capable of distinguishing between fiction and reality?

I think they just take a thing they don't like about Today's Youths and work backwards to paint it as detrimental to society at large

@Spanners tell that to the billions of religious fundamentalists around the world 🤷

Two birds, one stone.

wow he's actually right about something

Black science man alternates between NPC and based/redpilled with strange frequency

he's no where close to being red-pilled

Broken clock moment, then

I still remember that tweet he made where he almost literally called for a Ministry of Truth

sounds juicy

Neil deGrasse tyson is against the teachers unions. He thinks they're a big hindrance toward better scientific education and literacy.

not sure how I feel about unions, I know they have a purpose, but they've been co-opted and bastardized quite a bit

Agreed.

I feel they've degraded, and tolerate mediocrity.

It also doesn't make sense in schools. You need to pay people with science degrees more if you want them to teach. they can all go and make more in the private sector. the same is not true for all the humanties degrees.

but unions make you pay them all based on seniority.

also (at least where I grew up) they get tenure in 2 years (grade school)

abolish unions, abolish the bored of education, make all education non-mandatory and non-free

Yeah... and just because you have greater seniority does not mean you're more skilled, talented, or experienced. You can twiddle your thumbs for 10 years and blend in with nothingness.

But, yeah, why would I go for a teaching education only to work for a High-School making pennies on the dollars.

Fuck that.

The biggest portion of taxes I pay (where I live) are for the schools. I think the itemized list at the bottom of my taxes said 49% goes to the local school. To me that's money flushed down the toilet, I don't have any kids that go to school nor do I think they use the money they appropriate from the tax payers responsibly.

My kid(s) ain't going to public that's for damn sure

I'm doubly glad I don't have to convince my wife of this

Mandatory schools are dumb. I might be wrong about this, but I think all the top scoring academic countries in asia don't have mandatory school or at least i'm pretty sure high school isn't mandatory

Those taxes sure as shit aren't going to a superior education.

I know people who have homeschooled their kids because local public schools were/are utterly atrocious
