(9,988 posts)In Republican-led states, theyre banning books about race, about LGBTQ, and no doubt about women, especially minority women. Theyre turning social studies courses into myths while trying to turn science into superstition and religious beliefs. We will have a generation of kids who come of age only to learn that their education was essentially useless, except perhaps for mathematics and physics which Republicans havent yet figured out how to bend to their peculiar ideas.
It is the children in Democratic-led states who will have a true education that will prepare them for the workplace and an understanding of how our government and our country functions. Those are the future scientists who will do something about climate warming and addressing pandemics while many Republican kids who just follow in their parents footsteps will remain the uneducated base the Republican leaders want.
