    Most conservatives believe state education isn’t anything more than brainwashing against conservative ideas.

    They’re 100% correct. Education tends to make one confront reality and live in the real world, a very un-conservative concept.

      “Go to college and get a good education!”

      goes to college, gets educated in class and from people from all over who aren’t like me. Realize different people have different needs

      “College is a liberal brain wash machine!”

      they have to start from kindergarten onward, because it doesn’t take much education to make people realize that “because tradition” is just about the dumbest reason to do anything. and if that’s the only reason you’re doing something, then maybe it’s time to grow the fuck up and move on

      but no, they’ve turned words like “progress” and “change” into pejoratives. same as “expert,” “science,” and “facts/fact-checking”
