The politically motivated culture wars have made their way to our school boards. And now they’re having a serious impact on curriculums. “Three-fourths of the nation’s school-aged students are now educated under state-level measures that either require more teaching on issues like race, racism, history, sex and gender, or which sharply limit or fully forbid such lessons, according to a sweeping Post review of thousands of state laws, gubernatorial directives and state school board policies. The restrictive laws alone affect almost half of all Americans aged 5 to 19.” WaPo (Gift Article): America has legislated itself into competing red, blue versions of education. (I’d avoid schools run by the side banning books and forbidding kids from learning about things.)
