  Because Republicans hate education. Most of the maga crowd will cheer this as a way to get back at the “wokes”, or “intellectual elites”.

    I can’t think of anything dumber than labeling intelligence as evil….

    So of course Republicans do that

      Voting a convicted felon sex offender pedophile serial liar insurrectionist orange gassy fatman with a weird yellow comb-over and a bad case of fronto-temporal dementia as president?

    There’s a reason that authoritarian revolutions typically have a “kill all the eggheads” phase. That type of arrogance isn’t compatible with someone saying, “Hey guys, I’ve studied this my whole life and what you’re saying is incorrect.”. Fragile egos can’t deal with the idea that they might be wrong about something, so they just hulk smash anything that might cause cognitive dissonance and move on.

    biggest threats to conservatives are educators, professors, teachers,etc.

  My dad is maga. The reason he would say is the teachers union protects bad teachers and just shuffles them around.

  Don’t agree with it but that’s the talking point.

      Honestly, if someone finds the original post and “inspect element” to change this to police, it might be enough to get a reaction out of maga.

    Are people really upset at… bad teachers? with everything else going on?? Like I also had a few bad teachers as a kid, but I also had a future with a biosphere that can sustain life. Maybe we should focus on the actually existential one here.

      No maga is focused on things that really matter instead, like the 5 or 6 trans women in sports

    he seems to be confusing it with catholic priests? they shuffle them around for sure, and also any evangelical pastors too.

    Where “bad teacher” is “teacher who taught the kids critical thinking and science so they started asking uncomfortable questions”.

  Teacher’s Unions aren’t perfect and there have been some valid complaints about them, but that’s basically every union. Honestly, my biggest complaint is that teachers have unions and they’re still not paid enough.

  But at any rate, this is typical conservative rhetoric. “We’ve found (or invented) one thing we can complain about, so rather than having a rational, calm discussion about the state of things and how we can improve that thing, we want to cause the most drama, scare everybody the most, and tear everything down, while promising to replace it with something better, a promise that we’ll never, ever, in a million years, deliver on.”

    they arnt, even in blue areas while thier wages are much higher, the hcol kinda negates it, unless you somehow can make it to 10+years as a teacher, usually teachers often supported by thier SOs most of the time.

  Soon it will be illegal to teach the masses to read, write, add, subtract, multiply and divide.
