Tell me again how "education" is so important?

It's not education, it's indoctrination.

Like growing numbers of public high school students across the country, many California kids are receiving classroom instruction in how race, class, gender, sexuality and citizenship status are tools of oppression, power and privilege. They are taught about colonialism, state violence, racism, intergenerational trauma, heteropatriarchy and the common thread that links them: “whiteness.” Students are then graded on how well they apply these concepts in writing assignments, performances and community organizing projects.

This is why there will be another civil war.  Because instead of educating students, the marxists in charge are stuffing their heads with bullshit, identity politics and grievance studies.  They are deliberately keeping people ignorant and stupid, because ignorant and stupid people are easier to control.  Also, people who are ignorant and stupid, but who think they are smart, are easy to isolate and separate from intelligent people who might end up giving them a clue.

So it's in the Marxists' best interests to keep kids stupid and ignorant while brushing up their ego and telling them how smart and scholarly they are.  By, say, giving them a degree in a "studies" that is absolutely worthless, while tying them down with six figures worth of debt.

“It’s not ethnic studies if it doesn’t challenge whiteness,” said Monteiro, who is also a board member of the Association for Ethnic Studies. He described “whiteness” as a 500-year-old artificial social construct that functions as a God, is perceived as all-powerful and never directly named, so that it can never be talked about and challenged.

I'll take "whiteness" over whatever socialist shithole that Monteiro or his ancestors came from.  That's not racist at all, by the way, because either Monteiro or his ancestors made the same exact choice.

I wonder if these brainwashed drones are ever going to realize how badly they've been brainwashed.  I wonder if they'll ever wake up.  In the meantime, I remain sure that sending your children to a publik skool is child abuse, and will limit their capabilities and possibilities for the rest of their lives.
