Your battle is not my battle. Sorry.
People lie about “what’s really going on” in public schools when it isn’t going on in public schools.
They push push push this narrative until the general public starts believing it – even when their own KIDS tell them that’s not what’s happening in the schools.
And they pass ridiculous laws saying “SEE THAT STRAWMAN WE BUILT UP? EVIL? WELL what we’re giving ain’t great BUT IT’S NOT THAT STRAW MAN is it?”
and so the public swallows it whole.
