Which robber-baron-politician was it who said education should be just good enough to send us to factories and to war? We’ve all been saying the pledge of allegiance in school, singing the national anthem at sports, displaying our aesthetically ugly flags on our homes and schools, listening to Lee Greenwood during the July 4th fireworks, etc.
We just happened to have a decade or two where we thought we humans had progressed out of it.
It's less to me this (schools teaching right wing crazy bullshit), as it is that the axis of Fox News/AM talk radio evolved to now also social media and podcasts to have a 24/7 megaphone of bullshit that these idiots think is gospel and mainline it all day, every day.
Schools have limited time and reach to get misinformation into kids heads, but all of the above is available to all ages at all hours of the day.
They have convinced Trumptards that any media source with doesn't unequivocally say EVERY SINGLE THING REPUBLICANS AND TRUMP DO IS THE BEST PERFECT THING is therefore "liberal biased". You could have a news website that sucks Trump's dick on every single other thing, but if you post one article saying tariffs are bad, you are now automatically the radical woke DEI left or whatever buzzword they've moved onto is.
