I know it's an election year in the US so my experience is that there's more nonsense than normal in online spaces but it's surprising here.
Any post with musk as well.
And for some reason education posts?
Bait aside, nobody calls you homophobic for asking good faith questions about how the schools budget is spent. But it would be absurd to imply the 12 hours a year kids are taught about sexuality is somehow derailing the entire curriculum. When talking about revamping education, only people that have fully drank Kool aid would think "it's because all of that money is used to turn my kids gay".
Well, the reason, if I understand the critics' arguments correctly, is that compulsory public education was instituted a century ago (a) quickly, without serious policy discussion or any experimental evidence and (b) with the goal of solving a very specific social problem that existed a hundred years ago (poor families migrating en masse from the countryside to cities to work in the factory, and their bored young children wandering around city streets engaging in mischief while both parents were busy instead of learning useful skills like milking cows or reading the Bible, which would have been the case back in the countryside) - and it's not quite clear whether in today's social conditions it's still worth it.
