Tornado Alley (PROG)

I think one of the goals of the conservative movement in this country, probably going back to the 1960's, is to defund public education. To return it to religious and family control, completely.

That's a big reason why we see continuous attacks on teachers, teachers' unions, and curriculums. The latest iteration is to attack non-existent CRT teaching and sex grooming.

Many of the people leading this charge are still burned up about de-segregation and the teaching of evolution instead of the Bible. They tend to live in places where funding for public schools is below national average and the illiteracy rate is above.
