Education is the basis of culture and society. It is the springboard by which individuals and nations alike either soar to success or belly-flop into failure. If we are so consumed fighting over woke matters that don’t have any place in our education system, how can we expect to teach children what they actually need to know? Reading, writing, arithmetic, history, civics, and geography are brushed aside as youngsters are trained to be “culturally responsive” (what does that even mean?!) radicals who look for division everywhere.

But what if parents didn’t have to spend their evenings attending school board meetings, fighting with administrators, and arranging meetings to try to find out what exactly their children are being brainwashing with? They should be helping their kids learn to ride a bike, not picketing their local school and demanding they teach “facts not feelings.”

What if parents — imagine! — weren’t forced to spend time meeting with lawyers over their children’s education? And what if they didn’t have to choose between setting aside part of their paycheck for their child’s college fund and inheritance or spending it on legal fees just to ensure they don’t grow up believing the world revolves around a person’s skin color and sexual identity?
