Why do right wingers hate education?

For those of us who learned a bit of history the invention of "free public education" is arguably one of the greatest things the US ever helped introduce. But when some people realize they can buy their way out of the same travails that hit others they tend to wall themselves off by merit of their money.

The education system in the US right now clearly has some issues. There are places where it is godawful and places where it is great. The solution is NOT to create a multi-level, multi-class system in which poor Americans are relegated to horrible educational outcomes and rich Americans are guaranteed better outcomes. That isn't what made America great.

When Conservatives pull their kids from the schools and vouchers help shift money from public education to private education we WILL end up with that very scenario.

The brilliance of public education is (and should be) that we are all invested in its success.

I pay my taxes to support education even though my wife and I have no children and never will. We see the value of an educated populace, not some fractured hellscape where education is dictated solely by wealth.

Then you are wasting your money. Public schools don't educate.

The far left Democratic Socialist loons prefer to teach perversion to six year olds rather than educate them.

Math, English, History, Science…all are lower priorities than social engineering.

Social and morality issues are the purview of the parents, not the schools.

Parents all across America are winning on this issue and the far left is losing.

I'm glad to see parents standing up for their kids like this, but the schools just ignore them and teach the perversions anyway. That said, there HAVE been some successes, such as Florida.

Differences Are Widening America’s Political Rift
College graduates are now a firmly Democratic bloc, and they are shaping the party’s future. Those without degrees, by contrast, have flocked to Republicans.
From preschool to grad school
The front lines of America’s cultural clashes have shifted in recent years. A vigorous wave of progressive activism has helped push the country’s culture to the left, inspiring a conservative backlash against everything from “critical race theory” to the supposed cancellation of Dr. Seuss.

These skirmishes may be different in substance from those that preceded them, but in the broadest sense they are only the latest manifestation of a half-century trend: the realignment of American politics along cultural and educational lines, and away from the class and income divisions that defined the two parties for much of the 20th century.

So you ADMIT that you are just indoctrinating people, rather than educating them.

Is there any actual research which supports that?

And I am willing to accept that lack of money isn't the primary issue with our failing education system (that's probably more related to administration and how the money they have is actually allotted). But the solution is NOT the wholesale abandonment of free public education in preference to a wealth-based system of outcomes where the wealthy will have better schools.

Random phrases. The answer to your question has already been answered.

Which is why I worry that too much $$$ may go to administration and less to the people doing the actual work (teachers). I will freely admit to not really knowing how education $$ are spent within the system, but at the end of the day the teachers aren't getting enough. And sapping the system of needed money by siphoning off some in the form of vouchers so the wealthy can abandon the ship is NOT going to help the ship stay afloat.

This is also why I dislike it when the rightwing culture warriors want to make it sound like it's the fault of "society" (ie the breakdown of the family unit). That's an easy suggestion. And it doesn't seem to correlate to the problem. It certainly can't be used to explain the difference in outcome, but money most assuredly can.

The teachers are getting too much. They are being paid to TEACH, not indoctrinate.
The administration building and staff should be eliminated. It contributes no teaching to anyone.

Time was, the district superintendent's office and his secretary simply used one of the offices in a school.

why do shit stain liberals hate a representative form of govenrment?

You don't let a community choose how they educate their kids

you don't let Alabama decide their own self defense legislation for abortion issues

you try to get podcasts to be torn down and statutes toppled even when you don't live, listen, or look at it

The WOKE destroyed education Pre-K all the way to POST DOC.....on purpose......because the stupid are much easier to enslave.
 
Conservatives refuse to admit how badly they fucked up because then they would need to deal with how badly they fucked up...to include acknowledging that they are not the superior people as they always claim....to anyone who will listen.

Buckle Up.
