I'll make one comment here and you can take it whatever way you like.

What evidence do you have for anything you've said? Real evidence, surprisingly lots of people believe in fake evidence all the time.




I don't know what you want exactly. Trump's future administration isn't exactly subtle on their wish to axe the Department of Education and cut funding of public schools [1]. Reducing government spending and taxes is what they do, that's the one thing this party has been consistently campaigning on since the 50s. I don't feel like going through every bill they passed or proposed since Reagan's, but you can find them online quite easily.

As for the job of teacher, it used to be respected but now a large part of the population genuinely believes they are trying to indoctrinate children into marxism.

Regarding teacher salary, I'm pretty sure you can find studies online that link the unattractiveness of the job to the poor salary and societal perception. Why would a math major become a teacher when he can have a starting salary in tech that is higher than what he could ever hope of making after 30+ years of teaching? I certainly didn't.

As for the other culture war nonsense they've also been campaigning on, I don't even want to entertain it. No, children don't go through gender affirming care at school without their parents consent, and come home with their genitalia cut off.

I don't understand what your purpose here is if you're just going to insult.


What insult?? I took the time to answer your question and this is your response?
