  1. Republicans hate education anyway. They wanna dumb people down because they know if you can't think for yourself then you'll believe any and everything u hear.

  2. I’m mostly democrat except for the woke indoctrination crap. I’ll never vote Republican because they’re too beholden to the far right. I’m against corporate welfare, and I believe in the separation of church and state. Most importantly I’m pro-choice. So now I vote independent.

  3. The truth about hiding our history and denial of Africans contribution continues 🤡🤡🤡

  4. Republicans aren't necessarily attacking liberal propaganda. Perhaps they are just more realistic that an overpriced college degree is not as worth it anymore. Perhaps they are finding more efficient and effective alternatives like trade schools or certifications from large employers. C'mon Chuck, you're smart enough to think of these things. You're an all-knowing intellectual.

  5. I would be willing to bet that if you took two identical twins sent one to public school and the other one stayed home and did the Khan academy courses that at the end of four years the Khan academy student would be at least one full grade ahead of the public school student

  6. Malcolm X was right. Sadly Dr King didn't see it until he was on his death bed. These people couldn't understand. Not until the same things happen to them. And you see what's happening. Most just don't have the capacity or capabilities to comprehend.

  7. European history is taught starting in the 2nd to 3rd.grades.starting with George washington as our 1st President.it is intrenched in our social studies curriculim. The only thing mentioned about African Americans is the triangular shipment of their ancestors into the Americas and the carribean islands.Theres a paragraph in our social studies texts at the most.plus a few paragraphs about Mlk. This actually omitts Black History.the contributions and achievemants blacks have made in their whole 400 yrs.of being in America.American History is Whitewashing American History period by those who want to hide Americas Truths.the good.bad.and ugly will come to light.

  8. I won't even sit and listen to mainstream media, especially from idiots like this Chucky boy how about reporting the facts and forget the opinions?… What a maroon! 🐰🥕

  9. Paranoid right!!! 🤮🤮🤮

  10. He stated a lie, DeSantis wasn't going to ban the old version, this was an add on that he said no too, and after listening logically I agree with him.

  11. Why not remove those communist elements being taught to our kids.

  12. This is disturbing.Not getting College degrees works well in a non global economy. In a global economy, it does US kids a disservice by discouraging them from getting degrees that will enable them to compete on a global level. A college degree is just not to get a job. It's about thinking outside the box and exposure to different cultural ideas. This is what makes a well rounded independent thinking individual. This next generation needs to be more original, creative, and innovative thinking than ever. And they won't get that from watered down education curriculums that don't challenge or excite them .

  13. So, DeSantis believes that he can when the presidency without the votes of Blacks and their friends. Interesting!

  14. CRT teaches that all white people are oppressors and all black people are oppressed. This is racist, divisive, and provably false. "1619" is fake history. Despite a CRT, trans, and fake history uncovered from coast to coast, only 16/17% of Democrats believe that liberal propaganda is taught in High School/colleges. Mentally dead Democrats.

  15. WOKE vs FROZE. Froze is afraid of truths with head in sand. FROZE is far-right, Ron Dis-Science, Marginalize Greene, Matt Get-Sum, Lauren BoeButt, Greg Abbutt, George Sham-tos & Fake Or Xtra-hate (FOX) News

  16. Have you seen our high schools!? Woke teachers on Tic Tok more than class. It’s sad really

  17. We need the school choice voucher program now more than ever.

  18. The rampant paranoia from the Christian Right… They simply don’t want you knowing the truth.

  19. I’ve lost confidence in the public school system.
    Liberal propaganda is being shoved down the throats of every public school student that is a fact

  20. "Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth." – Marcus Aurelius

  21. Can we have a college course for white history ? How about a Congressional Caucasian caucus ?
    Caucasian History Museum ? White history month ?

  22. The Republicans failed us with Trump. The Democrats failed us with Biden. The politicians have utterly failed us. Impeach and remove them all. Let's see what the military can accomplish for us.

  23. The video evidence that it is all being taught in all areas of academics is blatantly obvious now

  24. Democrats/liberals keep racism alive and well

  25. More identity politics. The race of peace doesn't need their own segregated studies if they truly wanted equality.

  26. Why can’t the truth just be told about what really happened? I was really angry to learn the truth about things in college and later on in life and wondered why I wasn’t taught certain things in school. If you can teach one part why can’t it all be taught? Oh it hurts peoples feelings, don’t it hurt people eventually if the truth is withheld from them?

  27. Just wait until we find out where all of you live.

  28. Confidence in MSNews is at an all time low… liars !

  29. There is no confidence in school anymore because those clowns from lgbt the alphabet creeps want to take over and brainwash our kids with their nonsense. School should be about real education not their nonsense. Their so into brainwashing everyone that nOw they target our kids.

  30. ThT remains to be seen lol
    Liars gonna lie!!!

  31. Attacking liberals? Show me one video of someone being harassed on a college campus for a BLM shirt or a Pride flag? Because there are 100s of videos of conservative students being attacked over Trump hats or pro lofe shirts.. MSNBC IS part of the liberal indoctrination machine. Period.

  32. God bless republicans for fighting to keep communism-Marxist insanity out of education

  33. Well, the ignorant crap republicans are supporting and making up shows they didn't get a good education, which is why we're stuck with MTG and boebert and more…. Of course they don't believe in education, they love their base being uneducated and easily manipulated. War against education is a common fascist practice, ask Hitler.
