No, not the MAGA Federal government. But when they’re out, and they’ve been crushed, we are going to have to reconfigure the new government. We should take that opportunity to create a new paradigm that serves the people, and then Yes, I expect the government to convene a panel of educators to create a new Federal Educational Curriculum.
That curriculum would look to the future, and not worship dead old ideas from the past. In Florida, DeSatan wants to make Cursive Writing mandatory again, instead of teaching kids real history “that makes white kids feel guilty about being white” (he actually said that). We need a history curriculum that acknowledges and teaches about Slavery and the Native American Genocide, and how to avoid such atrocities in the future. We need two math tracks, one for those who want to go into engineering, sciences, etc., and one that emphasizes Business Math, for everyone else who mostly uses math for their personal finances, or perhaps to start a business.
But mostly, the Federal curriculum would have a strong emphasis on Critical Thinking Skills, which help people recognize and reject propaganda from both sides, and avoid dumb conspiracy theories.
Critical Thinking Skills are literally the most important think any human can learn. All the knowledge you pick up in school is right there on the phone on your pocket, you can look that up in seconds, learning all that is not that important. Critical Thinking is how we are supposed to think, and it has to be taught and practiced at a Elementary/High School level, so students can flourish in college and beyond. Without Critical Thinking Skills, we substitute a chaotic ad hoc style of thinking that is easy to manipulate by bad people, and leads to destructive lifestyles like poverty and crime.
Critical Thinking Skills are what kept the Conservative scourge from rising and morphing into MAGA for so many years. So Cons took advantage of the 50 separate curriculums to deliberately suppress the teaching of Critical Thinking Skills for decades, claiming that it teaches children to defy authority, when what it really does is teach people to think for themselves. Authoritarians don’t want to teach kids how to challenge their power.
We also need free college education, and free trade school educations for all American citizens.
We also need to cancel all outstanding private and Federal student loans. They are a looming and increasing economic time bomb, that is already damaging the economy. They are so high because the federal government loosened up requirements for student loans so all kids could go, but didn’t put any guardrails on it. So the colleges responded by jacking up their tuitions to the max, and making kids mortgage their financial futures for the rest of their lives, enslaving them to mediocre paying corporate jobs, just to keep their healthcare, and make that onerous monthly student loan payment instead of a mortgage payment or take a vacation or get married or have kids…
Colleges and banks became the worst sorts of parasites over student loans, and have destroyed countless lives. It needs to end. They stole enough from our students, that’s enough. Forgive all current student loans, and if the colleges and banks whine about it, threaten to make them pay back all the past loans, too. That will shut them up real quick. Imagine the economic boom that would follow if millions of Americans suddenly got enormous student loans rebates of thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of dollars? The housing market would immediately explode, as many people use that money for a down payment.
We could do all this if we had a government that serves the people, instead of the wealthy. Remember that when we get it all back (and we WILL get it ALL back).
Look at the state of the federal government right now. You want them running education for the country?
