Just send your kid to school an even number of days…
Honestly it sounds like Canada (minus the transgender panic). Trump is a POS but that doesn’t mean that the declining quality of education is not a real problem.
My wife teaches college and trade school and the quality of incoming students declines every year as since Covid for some reason the public schools have had very low requirements for passing a grade level. Some can’t even add fractions. Most can’t rearrange an equation. A large fraction panic and have anxiety attacks when taking tests, and just stare at the paper like a deer in the headlights.
My daughter is now in grade 5 and they were teaching them practically nothing and not even grading them. Just “good” “adequate” or “poor” based on how well the teacher “thinks they know the material”. No discipline, no challenge. And it honestly seems true that they’re teaching more cultural topics and less core math/science/English.
Thankfully she has a teacher and an engineer for parents, is a voracious reader and we’ve taught her math and programming at home. Pulled her out of the public system this year and she’s suddenly telling us what she learned and is excited to go to school…
I did leave for school and they taught me the tools necessary to understand my gender properly. And yeah those tools aren’t reading, writing, or arithmetic, it was calculus actually.
Ah, things make more sense now, I struggled in calculus. Particularly integrals.
This only got overshadowed by his “they’re eating the cats and dogs“ quote. Aside from that, this may be one of the most insane things he’s said.
Would it be so terrible if your kid came home a different gender? Would they still be your kid? Would you still love them? There are worse things - like your kid coming home full of holes made by an AR-15.
I hate to say this, but I actually think there are plenty of Republicans that would disagree with you.
“I don’t want to get into the details.”
Real “You guys weren’t going to fact check” energy.
The public isn’t ready to hear about the Sissy-Hypno elective available after 9th grade.
No no Donnie I insist, please go into the details. Cuz I just got done helping the kids with their homework and it was all math and reading and spelling.
You didn’t notice all the 7s were WOMEN! They used to be men but now they’ve switched it all up.
Once again, Trump is making political satirists’ job more difficult.
nope. it’s super easy. The Onion is no longer Satire, they’re just reporting the news.
It really and truly is absolutely terrible that a person that crazy has a real shot at becoming president of the most powerful nation on the planet.
Becoming president AGAIN.
It is also a shame that the mainstream news keeps igoring all this batshit crazy talk along with the inciting violence and does fluff pieces where they explain what they think he means.
This stuff should be front page news every day. Put up the stuff Harris and Walz say too so there is a contrast with people who aren’t crazy fascists.
This is the biggest “fuck you” to teachers…
If Trump spent 1 day in a fucking public school I feel his tune would change.

It absolutely would not.
No. Nothing can change his tune: reality has no impact on his tune, being wrong, being absurd, being called out, nothing. Actually not changing his tune is basically his core messaging strategy. That piece of shit…
Either it takes such an effort to get menstrual products into schools that it gets you a fun nickname, or we’re doing reassignment surgery during health class.
Pick a lane lol
Don’t forget the litter boxes!!
it’s not even the craziest thing he said. why is he even on the ballot?
