   SS is in a trust fund, congress can borrow it, with interest, and pay it back. It is not part of the general fund. Basics of SS.

   Actually that is incorrect. SS is not part of the general budget. Here’s a nice history of SS to inform you: >

   That was done to keep the masses quiet, note that only the tax cuts for the richer folks and corporations were permanent.

   Except it is separated out, that of course does not prevent the government from borrowing it via bonds which it does.

   What pray tell does that have to do with teachers and curriculum? Yep Nothing.

   Social security is a self funded program and does not use tax dollars. Universal healthcare does not exist in the US unlike EVERY other “first world” country. Try again.

   Nope, I live in reality land and work with these people. All the shouting and clamoring is the fever dreams of people who really know nothing. The people complaining know nothing.

   in what sense? the people designing curriculum, that is until the right wing and it’s white power movement stepped in, are professionals with decades of experience and study behind them. It was the parents and hard core conservatives that didn’t know what they were doing.

   Would be nice, would also be nice to have them recognize they really don’t know anything about curriculm etc. and let the teachers teach. Would also be nice if all parents read to their children from birth, but I know that’s unrealistic.

    And to provide the whole quote: “Many, many teachers are really solid and good but the stuff being pushed can be considered indoctrination at times.”

    There is no “stuff being pushed”. It’s called education. Now if you were to say the current textbooks on history in the red states of Texas and Florida are being written to promote a white power agenda I would agree. But that’s not up to the teachers.

    Parents involvement in their children is a desired thing. Parents involvement today in the exclusion of anything that offends their little conservative hearts is not. Let’s face it, the average parent is poorly educated at best and really needs to have an education too.
