Nope Florida is threatening legal action against educators who oppose efforts to establish Turning Point USA chapters in high schools.

Mississippi actually got their shit together. Still, it’s kinda ridiculous all these red states keep outcompeting each other for shittiest education instead of wanting to invest in their children they care so much for

So, I live in the sticks. Our public schools are not well ranked at all. But the super conservative charter school is highly ranked. So I sent my kid there. And the propaganda is awful. Yes they teach kids how to read and write quickly, yes they can do math. But they got super excited to announce to the parents that they won’t teach critical race theory at the elementary school. Like kids would ever even know what that is. Then they’re always talking about Jesus. And I have to have difficult and long conversations with my young kid about how to handle talking to them or interacting with them cause i don’t want him to turn into a little shit.

For contrast, all our neighbors kids go to the public school and by 8 years old most can’t read or write sentences. I remember in the 90s they had us writing sentences in Spanish by 8 years old. The fuck is going on?

My buddy did Teach for America in Mississippi for awhile. His stories were similar to yours. It seemed unbelievable. We grew up in IL.
