Just Politics

I understand where your coming from. A worthy goal if it was attainable and all things equal. If everything was equal I'd be right with you, but things aren't equal.

Everyone and every country does bad things that they need to address or work on or stop doing and make things better.

But what your attempting is like trying to get a peace accord between Russia and Ukraine. Both sides are fighting and shooting other people, and nobody or no country is a perfect saint. One side is the much larger threat, one side started and is continuing it, one side is massively the largest perpetrator of destruction and death, one side is trying to take over and change a decent society to their totalitarianism rule and beliefs, one side is killing way more, maiming, threating the existence and way of life of the other.

Now go and ask the victim side to look at their faults, and stop defending their right to life and democratic society. Spend equal time on criticizing the way Ukraine is defending their children, homes, way of life. Ask them not to worry about the massive abductions of their children to the others school of thought and training. Not to worry about the ridicule and abuse if those children happen to be biologically different. Don't worry about hiding the history of what the abusers have done in the past to a society. No reparations needed or true history told.

We just need to be critical to both evenly, give in to massive disinformation war and lies and just let the bullets and bombs continue. That's not what I hear from the teachers I know. It used to be generally both sides needed to knock it off, but in recent years that has changed dramatically. It is overwhelmingly and so heavy handed to one side now and that is going to be impossible to deal with in any of your prescribed terms.

Maybe when Russia or the New GOP stops firing bullets and bombs, stop murdering and abusing, stop trying to play their phony god or phony patriotism over ones they have no business holding that kind of abusive power over, and just stop the attacks and power struggle, get back to where things are equal wrongs on both sides, then we can start critical discussion on ourselves. The teachers and staff would be happy to be part of that discussion as would I. Don't have much faith in all that though. And so it goes....
