it is totally okay to be hurt and tired and fed up with the american schooling system but i need you to understand that we need to be better about loudly and routinely defending public education.
yes, many teachers suck, many schools utterly suck. i also got bullied and was absolutely not given the right support for my needs. i am not defending public education because it was kind to me. i am defending it because it needs to exist.
right-wing republicans do not want an educated population. they want kids to be homeschooled or in private school. there is a huge religious undertone to this.
the most common argument is that despite high costs, the "result" is not "good" enough. they point to failing schools as proof that public education is just never going to work out. there will be arguments made here that you actually agree with: that teachers can be bullies, that we taught online for 2 years and still charged the same amount of tuition, that we have no recourse for students to actually have agency or a voice, and that schools are now unsafe for kids due to risk of illness and gun violence.
these are all placing the blame in a fraudulent way, one intended to get your parents to homeschool you. the less kids in a school, the less federally-awarded funding for that school, the less any school succeeds. they will not mention the fact it is their legislation that takes away important funding opportunities, that teachers are living at or below the poverty line, that buildings are not kept up to code, that administration is overpaid and forces specific curriculums, that corporations like (my personal enemy) Pearson Education control certain classroom goals because teachers can't afford other options. they pretend to be ignorant of the gun violence and say "oh just get a gun" - but these are the same people who will be sending their child to a private school with a bulletproof backpack. they don't care if your kid dies, though. they "don't believe" in covid, but they did get their kid vaccinated, because of course they did.
it is a closed loop. conservative parents hear the fearmongering and remove children from the system. frequently these parents are also deeply religious. the kids are raised without access to other media & learn to parrot their parents. you have now created a new generation of conservatives. additionally, one of the parents/caregivers must stay home and homeschool the children, usually for free. i will give you 1 guess which parent tends to stay home to homeschool the children. these parents are encouraged to have many, many children. those children are most likely not getting access to safe sex ed.
we might laugh at fox news suggesting teachers are forcing children to use kitty litter but: first of all, there is kitty litter in the classroom. it's part of an emergency kit in case children are locked in due to a shooter. so that's fucking dystopian, and the fact they've completely reimagined the scenario to somehow make the teachers look bad when it's instead a fucking huge symbol of our failure as a country to protect our children.... it feels a little intentional.
secondly: don't just dismiss the situation. because, yeah, obviously, no teacher is encouraging kids to be a catboy. but the actual undertone that fox news is trying to sew is an outright distrust of teachers and of public education. they rely on the dehumanization of trans people as a common touchstone to hide the fact they're pushing two agendas at once. (which is ironic. because the thing they accuse teachers of. is pushing. an agenda.)
whenever someone tells you they want you to read less, you should be suspicious of that. when someone tries to separate you and your education, you should be suspicious of that. i don't even like incel rhetoric nor would i want my kids exposed to it - but i would not take away my child's (age-appropriate) access to the internet. i would just provide more educational materials, not less. the difference here is that i believe we can resolve ignorance with knowledge; whereas conservatives believe that ignorance is bliss.
they misappropriate funding and demonize teachers. they pull the same trick each time - the same thing we are seeing with anti-trans rhetoric. they do not want you to have access to safe sex ed, so they act horrified, claim sex ed teaches you how to thrust deep, claim that we have no idea what "age-appropriate" means. since the mid-nineties, the united states has spent at least 2 billion dollars on abstinence-only education, even though to quote the above link: "a preponderance of studies has found no effect of abstinence education at reducing adolescent pregnancy". conservatives want you to think less of any person struggling with addiction so they can continue their racist "war on drugs", so they spend up to $750 million dollars a year on the DARE program which has absolutely no effect. acting like teachers "must" be "grooming" children is just the same thing - so they can demand that funding either goes to their causes or the funding doesn't "exist" ("i'm not paying for our kids to learn that thing!")
and they want you to feel uncaring about this. they are aware that you will hate some parts of your school experience. pretty much everyone does. they want to lean into the parts that you hate so that you don't put up a fight about it when they take it away for not being "good enough."
i know i maybe sound like a conspiracy theorist. but truly. truly. it is beneficial for conservatives to reduce your faith in the american public schooling system.
one of the explicitly stated campaign promises of the conservative party: to axe the Department of Education in 2024.
i know we are all tired and burnt out and there is so much else wrong with their entire platform. but maybe just - pay attention to this one.

BC Conservative leader John Rustad assured anti-vaccine activists British Columbia would be open to joining other jurisdictions in legal proceedings inspired by the Nuremberg Trials that would be aimed at prosecuting those deemed responsible for COVID-19 public health measures and vaccines. ā€œNuremberg 2.0,ā€ an idea popular among COVID-19 conspiracy theorists and the online far-right, is simultaneously inspired by theĀ Nuremberg Code, a set of ethical principles on human experimentation, as well as theĀ Nuremberg TrialsĀ thatĀ prosecuted Nazi leadersĀ after the Second World War. Nuremberg 2.0 advocates typically call for those who created, justified or enforced public health measures ā€” including politicians, doctors, academics, journalists and police ā€” to be jailed and even executed forĀ ā€œcrimes against humanity.ā€

listen if we brat summer our way out of fascism I'll fuckin take it
#ravi rants#historically speaking the best way to shut down asshats that violate the social contract of tolerance is to mock them#idk man maybe I have a different perspective on all of this because I'm part of the desi diaspora#but like.... so Indians won't always obviously call out violations of social decorum#if you're making an idiot of yourself or you're making a scene. other people will stand by and let you do it.#my therapist and I talk about me coming from a high-context Asianic cultural background like I do a lot actually#because the thing about Indian decorum is that. like.#one. you protect yours. if your friend is actively intervening in on something there's a reason and it might be helpful#but two. if someone's breaking decorum.... we allow them to do so in order to figure out why.#if someone's ex is crashing a wedding and successfully gets the floor they'll get heard out#and everyone will be paying attention#because the thing is those kinds of overt violations of decorum usually happen for a reason....#Indian soap operas are A Lotā„¢ but listen. a party might be the right time to call someone out on being abusive or manipulative#because the whistleblower can be escorted away to safety by them and theirs.#and usually you have to be able to know enough decorum to get to the point where you make a scene#and Indians respect the hustle. we'll hear you out.#the Hindu gods are notorious for being like 'alright smart guy. here's your wish.'#the gods will readily admit if they've been outwitted#but you're an idiot if you think you'll get away with fucking with the natural chaos of samsara and karma forever :)#however. there's also Hindu parables of asuras and dumbass humans realizing they fucked up and taking the L with grace#and the gods respect that#but lol. fascists aren't respectful.#Richard Spencer shut the fuck up after we all saw him get punched#conservatives are having a mental breakdown over being called weird while insisting that a cis woman is a man#and I'd like to remind everyone that the social role of a court jester is to keep everyone humble#bc dude. if you're getting butthurt over the clown ribbing you. maybe calm the fuck down? look in the mirror?#you may be a king but the larger the seat you hold#the better your toilet plumbing should be

noah and mio are great because mio turns out to be the kid of previous protags, probably the beloved niece by proxy of the entire cast of 2, maybe royalty (I personally hc Nia's queen position as more of a politically elected one Ala Star Wars prequels so YMMV) and then Noah is just. some kiddo. and they become inexplicably intertwined for a thousand years in the time loop

anyway light would be vocal NDP voter and most of his views would line up pretty neatly with theirs but heā€™d confuse a nominal belief in such politics for an actual understanding of what they mean and what needs to be done to enact them. he says he supports prison abolition but if you talk to him youā€™ll discover he has so many exceptions for ā€˜actually badā€™ criminals that he functionally wants more people punished than are currently and he wants them to be killed by the community once the revolution comes. he supports safe injection sites but he thinks they should be kept in ā€˜appropriateā€™ places and heā€™s got no answers as to where such a place might be. he really does support a UBI and universal healthcare because they are for people who ā€˜deserveā€™ help.

British Columbia saw a rare unanimous vote in its legislature in October 2019, when members passed a law adopting the United Nations Declarations on the Rights ofĀ IndigenousĀ Peoples, setting out standards including free, prior and informed consent for actions affecting them. The law ā€œfundamentally changed the relationshipā€ between First Nations and the province, said Terry Teegee, regional chief of the B.C. Assembly of First Nations. [...] John Rustad threw his support behind the legislation as a member of the Official Opposition B.C. Liberal Party, but as the B.C. Conservative leader he has since signalled his intention to ā€œrepealā€ the law if his party wins the Oct. 19 provincial election.

Absolutely not.
In case you didn't know, BC has an election soon! And the conservatives are in Prime form as always. I live in Surrey, BC, a city where one in 20 households identify as Muslim households, and yet... Surrey South Conservative Party candidate Brent Chapman's historical feelings on the subject leave much to be desired.
Brent Chapman Surrey South remarks from just under a decade ago are not going to be erased by his paltry apology for stating Palestinians are -- hold on let me get the quote -- "inbred walking, talking, breathing time bombs." He also shared an article on "Muslim inbreeding," along a sentiment that it was simply not possible to "coexist" with Islam.
But I guess don't worry, because he is, supposedly, 'sincerely' sorry.
Sorry Mr. Chapman, we cannot coexist with you either; good luck with that.
Not that I would have ever voted for a Conservative party member anyway, but if this is what they have to offer, that really just drives the point home that much harder.

maybe iā€™m just too old and tired of lame extremists who want to make the world burn to prove a point on how theyā€™re holier than everybody else and actually donā€™t get anything done, but the ā€œboth sides are the sameā€ discourse really irks me and rubs me in the worst way possible. especially when you have gained such a wide platform from which you could do a lot of good, and even more so when youā€™re part of communities that are at the highest levels of risk if one specific party wins. both parties are NOT the same, and to say that is justā€¦ itā€™s just incendiary, and irresponsible and outright stupid.
