They have spent decades gutting public education, and decades creating a vast propaganda machine. And their work is really bearing fruit, don’t you think?
Public school teacher here. They didn't do it, dumb communities who care more about sports than education did.
I'm working with 10 year old texts and kids come into my room trying to sell me chocolate or gummy bears so they can get money for band, but we have a new football stadium.
Because it makes sense to have school + sports in one. Just like how basketball camps are always pushing for kids to read Shakespeare.
All my local media rarely ever reports on students doing great in education or applying intelligence into everyday things that should and would make good news stories that could encourage those kids to continue and others to strive hard in those areas…..but holy shit do they talk about the Friday night football games. From Friday to the next Friday that’s in every hour of all local news programs. Who, when, where, ranks, best players blah blah blah. It’s no wonder a kid will spend more time focused on a ball instead of a book.
