Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

It is really telling that conservatives are against education.
They are saying they are pushing an ideology and indoctrinating kids... the right is so unbelievably fucked in the brain and i honestly have no idea how to unfuck their brains on such a massive scale.
It's funny that a couple years of college can undo the brainwashing of a childhood spent in church and homeschooling.
For me, it wasnt even the education of college. It was being in the dorm and around ao many different people. Finally being around people different than me taught me so much so fast
Well, if they mess up DOE, they can end a lot of that by messing with the loan system, too.
It's projection is what it is. They want the Babble and silly rituals like the Pledge (with the 50's red scare "under god" added) and a cartoonish version of history and science taught.
It is THEY who want to do the indoctrinating. Lord forbid that our schools have a proper liberal education for our kids (in every sense of the word "liberal", but these dumdums are so stupid and indoctrinated themselves that they don't even know what "liberal" even means) so that kids come out thinking for themselves and being able to think critically, be auto didactic, etc...they want their kids - and everyone else's kids - to be just as stupid and blinkered and ideologically rigid as they are.
An uneducated public is much easier to control. Especially when youtube and tiktok keep them brainwashed.
