Predictably the problem here is a centralized education system. Break up or decentralize the school system. Make the decision making hyperlocal. Anytime you centralize power, crazy power-hungry people will try to capture it.
- warkdarrior 6y agoHyperlocal education will lead to fragmented education, and result in arguments like these: * Why should one force black kids to learn white people math? * Why should Latino kids be forced to learn native american history?
- throwawaysea 6y agoHyperlocal decision making is needed across the boards and it is why our country was designed as a federation of states. It wasn’t meant to place so much power in a federal government and it didn’t anticipate centralization of public education through institutions like teachers unions. Unfortunately what we are seeing now are brazen power games to oppress one’s ideological or political opponents, and it includes things like the education system, where there is massive, tribal opposition to choice in education.
