It's only ever been used to tear chunks out of public school funding so private firms can feast, and to re-implement segregation by starving "under performing" (minority) schools of resources.

The old “the purpose of a system is what it does”

In a socialist society, standardized testing could be useful, but as it is its purpose Is to segregate schools and steal money from children’s education.

But you see, you can tell it's a great idea because of how much american education has improved in the last few decades!

I also love to bring this point up when talking about antidepressants.

"LibRehab" is a place to point people to when they showcase clear signs of Liberalism (not in a mean way). It is also a place to proactively destroy your liberalism before it becomes counterrevolutionary.

Posts here should be a mix of simplified theory, countering of historical revisionism / anti-communist talking points, and a nonjudgmental space for those on the journey of deprogramming their mind.
