Republicans hate public education. The Republican Party has been captured by Russia. That’s this post’s origin story.

They say "Every child has a right to education."

And then behave as if it's "Every child has a responsibility to be educated."

So yeah, while I absolutely think education in itself is vital, I do get peeved when they immediately lie by changing what they do versus what they say.

By they, I mean outdated education boards of self-absorbed twits who grew up decades earlier and have no real grasp of what today's generation needs.

I’m guessing you didn’t do too well in school.

I pledge allegiance

To the flag

I've taught my kids that they are under no obligation to participate in such pointlessly performative acts. I have my brother to thank for that, he defied the pledge when he was in high school. It planted a seed for me.

It is as if they are training young people to live in a prison.
