I don't think this is correct. The majority of people prefers states to have more influence on school curriculum and federal government to have less. Yes, there are downsides to that, but it generally means that hours on STEM will increase and hours on ideology will decrease.
Removing federal influence in setting agenda while sending federal funding directly to states without federal oversight of programs would not be a bad thing. My 2c.
- bix6 1y agoBanning books and forcing bibles in schools. Right.
- ptero 1y agoNo, teaching what the local parents believe is best for their own kids. While there are certainly a few of those who will want bibles, most in my experience put much higher value in the extra STEM unhindered by ideology. My kids high school recently cancelled advanced math classes because the racial composition of students there was not what the school hoped to see. No, thank you, I want parents to have a much bigger influence on what schools teach.
- Eisenstein 1y agoWhich Federal policy was it that led to that class cancelation?
- ptero 1y agoSome equal access policy that it was worried about. Do you have kids? If so, what age(s)?
- Eisenstein 1y agoAre you trying to distract from the fact that you can't actually give any specifics about any of this and sound like you are working from talking points by asking me about my children?
- const_cast 1y agoThe right is ideologically opposed to education. The belief that they are doing so to.. ugh... "promote stem... unhindered by ideology" is, frankly, delusional.
