Also weren’t public schools in the USA basically founded by capitalists to acclimate children to the capitalist system? Correct me if I’m off base.
Invented by the Prussians in the late 1800s. Imported to the US so we could have a more agreeable population to draw draftees from to fight European wars.
When you had to get naked after gym class in front of a bunch of other kids for the showers… that was so you’d be ready to do the same thing if needed when you became cannon fodder.
Public schools in the USA are still anticommunist factories.
That’s a laughable take. Have you been in one recently? Pro-communism starts in kindergarten and doesn’t let up. Just because 1-in-20 of the imbecile college-of-education graduates thinks himself a Ron-Swanson-style Trump-voting realist can’t change the structure and the very idea that the schools were based on.
To be clear: I 100% support public education but the fact that it’s not sufficiently right wing enough for like half the country is legitimately terrifying.
There’s the real problem. You think you have the right to indoctrinate the children of this other half of the country, against the will of their parents. They realize the danger in that, and their strategy is to take control of the schools and indoctrinate the children of the other half to their way of thinking.
And then the two halves squabble, winning this battle and losing that one. And of course they’re the great evil enemy for doing what you wanted to do them.
How are schools underfunded? Per student/year, more is spent than in any other country. It’s difficult to claim they’re understaffed too… something like 50-60% of school employees are administration and other support (maybe that should be “support” with irony quote marks) roles.
As for “under attack”, that’s not even close to true. Instead, schools are (and always have been, always will be) indoctrination camps. No one wants to attack that… they want to control it. What you see as an attack is just the fight going on between factions who want to be in charge of it. To believe one faction more virtuous than another is naive.
