Would anyone be surprised if its origins could be traced back conspicuously close to mainstream GOP leadership?

At the very least, republicans could do a much better job, or any job at all, of coming out and saying it’s just a kooky conspiracy and distancing themselves from as much, yet here we are

It's probably someone like Trump. Not really a republican but someone who sees how gullible republicans are. The most hilarious thing about Trumpers is that they violently defend someone who doesn't really share their political views.

i think it’s a failing of our education system, more than anything

Education system, criminal justice system, healthcare system, etc.

I continue to think that there would be an enormous bang-for-the-buck in universal pre-K (if not daycare), and substantially improved after-school programs.

yes

and i hate to get all soap-boxy, but i think we really need to prioritize primary education, and not just by throwing more money at it. same with criminal justice/law enforcement

we need to be at least trying to put the best possible people in those positions. they are being tasked with enormous responsibilities.

it is incredibly silly (to me) that each state basically gets to pick and choose what they teach. there is no reason that a black man that grew up in Tulsa, OK shouldn’t be taught about the tumultuous history of that city. whitewashing history, and even modern reality does nothing to serve the greater good of this country.

learn from the past or be doomed to repeat it

the US is an exceptional country, but it is not without its flaws

I'd personally rather see the money Dems want to spend on "free college" be used to dramatically upgrade the pre K-12 public education systems nationwide. The same amount of money would benefit more people and benefit them at the base of their education journey instead of near the end.

Probably included in what you mean, but help more people and their parents.

How many of the "best possible people" were pursuing "Elementary Education" degrees when you went to college? I found that the talent pool of folks looking to become elementary school teachers was not very talented when compared to those pursuing degrees of higher paying jobs. If it was a career where you could make better money, you might get better talent. I'll spend the money it takes to get a degree to get an $85k job, not a $35k job.
