Wow, is it possible that there may be a backlash starting?

The public school model was already dying, but the infusion of woke 'anti-merit, pronouns, fluid gender, anti-racist' bullshit may have pushed them over the edge. The Republicans should be pushing charter and Christian school choice as a major part of the mid term platform.

I guess the problem is that most colleges that offer education degrees are already indoctrinating their graduates to these new toxic practices, so will there be enough traditional thinking graduates to fill the demand?

Teaching skills and the common sense quotient (if we could test for it) are failing. Blaming the students for our failures is like blaming the unvaccinated, the government, the corporations, the institutions or the Nazis for what ails us. Life amidst the frail framework of dying civilisations tends to be uncomfortable for everyone.
