Hot Takes Discussion

[The Reformed American Republic]

Schools are a relic of the factory era.

Are you a Maoist.

That position has nothing to do with Maoism or communism. Public schools in their current form do have factory era policies that at this point are relics. The bell to begin and dismiss classes, for class changes, etc., are based off the bells that marked deadlines in factories. That is not a coincidence as schools would for the most part educate students who would graduate and work in a factory, and thus are designed to condition them accordingly.

A valid argument can be made that this is outdated.

Hot take: Elections have become too political. Every time I see the candidates for the general election in my country, they all want to push their agenda on me. What's up with that?

You see politicians are the bullshit artists they are.

I thought he was insinuating to destroy schools entirely my bad.

Hot take: Britain invented the Imperial system. America, who was a british colony, Adopted it. Then, when britain started using Metric in the 1960's, The US decided to stick with what they had used for 2 centuries. That's not stupid or just being different, that's just America liking their history, however weird it is.

Another hot take: There never should have been a U in words like Color or Honor or Favor. Color in latin is "Color." Britain and France didn't know how they wanted to spell it, so they used many variations including both Color and Colour. Eventually both adopted Colour. America just switched to how it should have been spelled.

Third one: I don't get why people actually dislike the Imperial system. Sure, for science it's worse, But for like, Everything else? Absolutely works great. Nobody has a yardstick/meterstick on them at all times, we all just know roughly the size of a mile/foot/meter/kilometer, and use that for rough estimates. You never really need an exact measurement in the real world. You do the same thing in Metric, too. People say there's too many different measurements, but like, How many do you actually ever need? Not many. it's like, Foot, Mile, Inch, Centimeter (metric but everyone uses it), Ounce, Quart, Gallon, Pound. I never use many more than that, and those aren't hard to remember. I would say it's actually harder to remember words that are just meter with some random latin thing before it than a distinct word that is short but memorable.

And this is a public school? I've graduated now but my econ teacher compared working class people to rats.

Yeah it's a public school

I am right wing and I agree.

Put me in charge and everybody gets an IEP.

You forget that American was originally going to be metric and is in fact an original signatory of the Metre Convention, which established the metric system and international bodies that regulate it. So why haven't we ourselves adopted it in everyday life. Well... the British murdered the scientist sent to present it and stole our sample measurements.

The primary role of education is to enforce a rigid hereditary class system. Defund the schools.

Destroy the evil education to corporate system forever! #Anarchism

It's always been the Brits! We should've known!

When one can learn how to build a house in the woods, or live in boat for months from the Internet alone... then yeah the education needs to ditched since it’s outdated like boomers and mega corporations, which are both very conservative and detached... #Anarchism #Breakfree #DIY

Ok, listen to this, maybe, just maybe, that's the agenda they are running for and they are trying to gain the popular vote by appealing to other people's agenda, just maybe.

My public school health teacher warned girls to never date bisexual guys, my biology teacher prefaced every mention of evolution with "it's okay if you don't believe this, I don't believe it", and the teacher of a criminal justice elective got all giddy about criminal suspects being shot 100 times by police. And this was in a blue county in a purple state.

In my blue state, I have been told transgenderism and non-binarism are valid. You have to completely Support the LGBT+ whatever community. With Pride flags and BLM flags all over the wall. Under the sign "Black history is Americans History" There is a red piece of paper on top and another Black Piece under it Hmm... Where have I seen that?

Seems like it is trying to imitate this.

Also, I live in a swing state but the most liberal ass part of it.

So you said I was putting words in your mouth when I said you were mad that your school acknowledges gay people, then...

Elected offices should all be partisan. If something can be a non-partisan elected office, it can and should be an appointed position.

[Prima Scriptura]

Why shouldn’t there be non-partisan elected officials? Do you really want school board members to be partisan elected officials. How about the park board?

[Dollystana]

Being a school age person going through Texas' public school system, I can tell you this is incorrect

What's Texas like? I like on the east coast and that's what it is like here, would love to hear your take.

You're only right using the definition of "liberal" that refers to general support of the status quo. History textbooks still refuse to go that far into things that make the US or most powerful historic figures look bad, and their definition of communism is demonstratably wrong.

But you're not talking about that, are you? Schools might make students swear loyalty to a flag every morning, but they also acknowledge the existence of gay people and that's clearly indoctrination

My school makes fun of historical people and talks shit about them all the time, and you just assumed a lot about me in that last bit that's pretty rude, I mean, every liberal issue is brought to us by our social studies teacher and glorified, not to mention we play political games in class and instructed to choose democrat and other small things like that. (it is indoctrination tho)

My school has a teacher who has condemned gay marriage.

I mean I don’t think school boards should exist at all but if they absolutely must then they should be appointed
Failing that, they should be partisan, yes
