The fuck does she think indoctrination means? Oh that's right, they've long given up arguing in good faith. There is no rational point to be made, I always forget that.

Anything she doesn’t already believe.
Indoctrination means 'My children don't respect what my gut knows to be true!!!'

Says the party that literally wanted to modify the grade school syllabus to teach that the 2020 US election was stolen.
~~wanted to~~
well, that's depressing, thanks for clearing it up.
The department head shit was also extremely frustrating. I wanted the position, had been flow out to a leadership conference by the district the summer before, presented a spreadsheet documenting some of my plans for improvement over five years (detailed, worked with some of the best minds in science education.)
But the anti vaxxer applied too. His great plan was “we should focus on more reading.”
I’m sure the fact that I was 🏳️🌈 had zero impact on the principals decision lol. (Anti vaxxer guy did limp wrist impressions of me too. But who the fuck cared.)
Like it’s amazing. Oklahoma just actively does not want capable teachers.
The kids are not OK
Damn I'm sorry you lost the position to human trash, I'm sad for the kids of your state
Such incredibly sore losers...
There’s a reason Oklahoma is 49th for education.
During COVID, the biology teacher at the high school I worked (and later, the fucking department head) was a creationist with a Bible college degree that would compliment students for forgoing masks and explicitly taught anti-vaxx shit.
Climate change is fun too - I put on a PD once and a teacher was really fucking pissed that I was showing data on how Milanokovich cycles do not explain modern climate patterns… literally thought she was going to fight me.
Milanokovich Cycles
That has to be the dumbest excuse for anti-climate change arguments I've heard in a while.
Do people really think that every single climate scientist who has dedicated their lives to studying shit that affects the climate, is unaware of and didn't account for, natural variations in solar energy the Earth receives, which I learned about in elementary school?
Federally funded school from age 3 to 20 doesn't sound like education
Yes it does, you bleached Wookie, it sounds exactly like education.
Sounds like a stealth insult to bleached Wookies, somehow.

Her side would rather have state-funded religious schools from age 3-20.

Cons are the stupidest fucks this side of alpha fucking centauri.
Eating food from birth till the day you die? Doesn't sound like living to me, sounds like an addiction.
Just wait til you hear about water! Everybody who drinks it? Dead. 100% mortality rate, no cure, and once you start, you're hooked!
She's got a BA from University of Georgia.
This isn't an education problem. It's pure propaganda and the allure of selling out on social media.
Trump graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1968 with a bachelor's degree in economics.

I may agree with Olbermann here but let's not forget:
Yes I know my enemies
They’re the teachers who taught me to fight me
Compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission
Ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite
All of which are American dreams
Came on shuffle the other day and inspired me to pickup the guitar for a couple hours and annoy the crap out of my kid
Holy fuck do the maga just shotgun acid and become the stupidest zombies?
I mean they would probably be a lot cooler if they were on acid all the time.
They'd probably chill on the whole "let's make a fascist death cult!" thing too

That's the neat part. It's weaponized feigned incompetence.
After Noem got the definition of Habeus Corpus exactly wrong in a recent hearing, some Lemmings have suggested that the RNC stooges in power are all playing dumb. Now, I can't unsee it. It makes sense: play dirty because your aims are underhanded and illegal, and your opposition is both outraged and busy attacking the wrong thing. Every time we all get in a fit about how stupid this sounds, which takes up valuable space and time from doing anything useful.
Edit: it's like a misbehaving kid that knows if he keeps telling the right kind of lie he can get away with just about anything.
Edit2: In Greene's case, her "argument" is also signaling being a "useful idiot" to her base for getting the job done.
Not how drugs work
What's especially fucking dumb is the argument of 'hurr money out of your pocket'. That shit goes right out the god damned window the second you look at where our taxes go i.e. the budget. Of what we overall pay education is laughably low.

The US is just not a real country. It's a horror story to scare the children.
she got engagement and ad-hominem is hardly a burn :/
leaving that musk-fueled cesspool is the better move imo.
Stupid freeloading children want us to pay for school when clearly we are low on cash after giving it all to the military!
I went to a religious private school and they tried to indoctrinate me to fascism
This is what they want
Thats my point, their accusation is an admission. They claim public schools are indoctrination yet their private schools are (I worded it a bit off)
And this is why Twitter should be nuked from orbit…
Pretty sure she went to public schools.
Obviously privately held education will be held to the highest of standards.
And will never indoctrinate. Anyone.
Because the people in power will be held responsible to no one.
Nestle.
Fox.
But no point if the education system doesn't want to teach you but get you more ready for the work force.
People say this all the time like it's some edgy gotcha.
And while Public education in the United States did really come to full fruition during the industrial revolution, and does do a lot to prepare a person for the workforce, noting not all school are the same..
..I am fully greatful my little rural New England School did a good job teaching me critical thinking. I really loved learning as I grew up and had many fantastic teachers.
To note, over the last 25 years, education funding, for whatever reason, is funded..but poorly. My son is in middle school, I've noticed he doesn't have music class. They have a band and chorus as extracurriculars, but no music theory/history class like I did. I was the last class group to take home economics, and there is no computer class either. Every kid has a Chromebook, but no one is watching a Sweeny Todd on stage, or picking a composer to write a report on. No kid is sewing a teddy bear or making pizza cookies, and they don't have general computer instruction. My son is in special education, so it's hard to gauge one to one, but I definitely feel like his quality of education is less than when I was in middle school 25 years ago, especially when we look at "specials", for what its worth. And this disappoints me.
But education as I see, is not "just to get you ready for the workforce" though that is part of it. A lot of teachers really care, and try to help kids find joy in learning, even still today. Well rounded schooling is important for children to become individuals with the power of critical thought beyond the scope of preparing them to work in a factory.
School where I went, and were my son goes, definitely fit "you get out what you put in".
