The school system is a sewer of bias with 90%+ of teachers leaning left. Decentralised media is the only chance many kids have of hearing both sides of the story.

> 90%+ of teachers leaning left Is this a US thing? Maybe it's because your Overton window is flying miles beyond the right-end of the spectrum and you lost touch to what "left" even means?

  It's so stupid. These days, making a statement like "we shouldn't teach Genesis as fact in public school" means that you "lean left".

> The school system is a sewer of bias with 90%+ of teachers leaning left. Good thing people give a shit about teachers and pay them properly so everyone is eager to become a teacher in order to address that bias. Instead of idk, leaving it entirely as it is and just whining in a partisan fashion about how education has some sort of bias. I mean education has a lot of women who are teachers and the GOP don't appeal to a lot of women because they want to ban abortion and shit like that. So that'd probably explain it simply enough. In terms of priorities what if the massive funding went into teaching instead of recruiting for ICE? Shows to me what's important to people. Tbh, I don't think minors need to be angry about misinformation about migrants (which is what I got in like 5m last time I created a fresh twitter account), they can wait until they're old enough to vote. They'll still fall for that shit all the same, so there's no need to be upset about it. Might as well ground our kids for their first 16/18 years before unleashing the Nick Fuentes community on them.

That is funny, because the vast majority of leftists, whether it is progressives, social democrats, socialists, or Marxists or what have you would complain that schools mostly ignore leftist ideals in favor of free market capitalism, conservative/traditional US political theory and civics, and propagandized history that always assumes the US was a good guy acting in good faith.
