So basically kids in the USA are going to be brainwashed into worshiping Trump and thinking countries like Canada are the rabbit and USA is the fox that eats the rabbit and therefore Canada is weak and cowardly and they should hate it while a portrait of Trump looking like a cuddly old grandpa hangs in their classrooms.

Lovely. On the other hand, the personification of USA in Trump's version of sleeping Beauty as an extremely obese woman will be much more accurate. :twisted:


Probably not into literally worshipping Trump, but you might find topics like slavery and The Trail of Tears reframed in a less critical light. Instead of teaching history, warts and all and covering the mistakes and failures as mistakes and failures they'll adopt a much more uncritical, jingoistic framing.

Family Guy summed it up perfectly:



But it's also how the MAGAs view what they consider "woke":

CRT (not taught in public schools anyway): "White Christian men are the cause of all the world's problems and should be punished for what their ancestors did for all eternity"

Biology: "Teaches people how to fornicate and that we're descended from monkeys"

LGBTQ+ issues: "Teaches people to hate Christians"

Physics: "Teaches 'lies' about the Earth's creation"

Political education Camps. ... :ninja: :skull: ......."How many fingers am I holding up ." George Orwells book 1984.

but have seen some people ,whom skated on a murder conviction. claiming to home school their children, that I personally knew . (before the murder of course). That could not recite the alphabit at 16 yrs of age . And the woman would say supportive things to them when they got away with stealing something from someone. Glad those peeps are long behind.
