Not picking on anyone or anything but we have to get back to the basics in education. Reading, Writing, Math and Science then we can add to the curriculum from there...

I AM picking on a political Party that aggressively pushes an anti-intellectual, anti-expertise, anti-democratic voter suppression, conspiracy theory based agenda on this country

How do we get back to basics in education when one Party's possible presidential candidate, and presumably many of those who support him, believe that math text books are Trojan horses for the progressive agenda and that the science behind public health and vaxxes, the theory of evolution, climate change and space lasers are all politicized, deep state agenda, infringements on freedom?

I wouldn't argue about any of your points. I feel like having open borders is a legitimate topic for a discussion. One that doesn't include demonizing immigrants and otherwise trying to scare people.

Greed is the problem, I was just listening to the radio and they were discussing the development of Russian style oligarchs here at home. Billionaires, like Musk, who not only don't pay federal taxes but also get extremely favorable rates on loans.

Look to the Kochs. Democracy is the enemy of the leisure class and that's why they support voter suppression, for one thing. A truly democratic country would vote for more money going to the greater good.
