This feels like it is still to the point, though? Not liking phonics because the KKK was toxic is right in line with the point. I meant to put other examples.

I meant to put other examples. I'd assume diet/nutrition would almost certainly work, but I'm not that well associated with how all of that worked out, historically.
- bediger4000 3y agoI have no opinion on phonics, nor did I attempt to convey one. I merely noted that the KKK, an organization notorious for inflammatory gestures, advocated phonics, in order to support my point of phonics being a point of contention before either Bush presidency.
- taeric 3y agoRight, I wasn't trying to give you one. I was simply saying that it doesn't really change my idea there. I contended that Bush pushing it brought in some toxic partisan politics. You pointed out KKK pushed it earlier. I assert that is the same thing, just earlier. Different form of toxic discourse, of course, but still a toxic association. And, of course, "guilt by association" is a named fallacy and is really all I'm pointing out as being at play here.
