[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not right wing. But where I live (deep blue state, deep blue district, deep blue school board) the only serious efforts at book banning have come from the left. There aren’t enough right-wingers here to even try it.

The left here has also tried to decimate rigor in education, kept the schools closed for far longer than necessary, enacted restorative justice that destroyed classroom discipline, and stopped having kids read whole books because whole books were too hard to understand.

I just can’t see the Democrats as the party of education any more. [/quote]

The dumbing down of education is most definitely coming from the left.  The idea that kids should now only be assigned excerpts to read because they "couldn't possibly" manage to read entire books comes from the left.  Our all-D school board advocates idiotic policies like this.  [/quote]

What do their republican counterparts think of science? [/quote]

Nobody here thinks the Republicans care at all about education. They are only pointing out that the Democrats don’t care about education either. And for a lot of us in blue states, it is the Democrats who have made the education of our children measurably worse. I can’t say I care too much about education in Mississippi when my local deep blue Democratic school board has gutted advanced math and won’t let teachers assign complete books any more. [/quote]
Then vote in a better school board. There are plenty of Democrats who would enact sensible education policies at the local level.[/quote]

I haven’t seen any in my deep blue district. All the Democrats that run have to essentially run and govern as progressives and therefore gut education.

It is ridiculous to demand that I believe that the Democrats are better at education at this point. I see no evidence of that whatsoever in any touchpoints I personally have with education. Literally on every single point, the Democrats are worse. [/quote]
