The books will be withheld until academic performance improves.

same backwards insanity as No Child Left Behind;

"We will penalize the under-performing schools by taking their funding and giving it to the schools that are already performing well. This will improve the situation, trust us."

like fuck are we gonna have to smuggle a literacy programme into america with free-to-play, unmonitized app-store games?

[-] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

It will be banned for not being predatory enough by decree of the supreme court

Pure ideology zizek-preference

Give everything to the people at the top, they know how to use it best. Capitalist ideologues are the dumbest people on earth.

[-] GarfieldYaoi@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

I have bad news for 12 year old lib me who heard about this and called it "educational communism"

Because guess what? The economic system where incompetent idiots hold you back is good 'ol capitalism.

[-] Magician@hexbear.net 46 points 1 year ago

I wonder what material conditions could be affecting children in Texas so much that it could affect their performance?

thonk

have you tried studying after being shot in the head? it's tough

[-] VILenin@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

Lazy ass student won’t get off the floor and clean up the mess after being shot only 27 times. The entitlement is unbelievable. “I should be transported to the hospital by OTHER people.” Must be the avocado toast

I heard a boomer talk about how easy kids have it these days. These people need to shut the fuck up.

Kids now have it so fucking hard. They're watching people get murdered in HD, including other kids, because you can't scrub that completely off of the internet. They're still watching loved ones get sick and die from a once-manageable virus after having spent years of school on Zoom. They're witnessing the devastation of climate change. They're facing a future that seems to be growing bleaker by the day.

In short, they're forced to reap what previous generations have sown. Adults who claimed to care about the well-being of children stole their future for profit and kicked out the ladder, knowing full well they won't have to see the worst of what they set into motion. But yeah, kids these days have it easy because they have phones and physical abuse is slightly regulated.

Remember when people said trump was the boomers last “fuck you” before they head out?

Well, almost ten years since trump entered politics and they’re still here in all of their lead-poisoned glory, also ensuring they do their very best to make the earth uninhabitable

(Not all boomers but certainly your average one)

In Stalinist North Maoist China they force the undesirables... look I can't even do this. Fuck Texas and fuck the USA for enabling Texas.

[-] LarkinDePark@lemmygrad.ml 24 points 1 year ago

Texas is just advanced USA.

[-] XTornado@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago

It's a prediction of what will eventually be all the USA... And it's terrifying.

When your average k-12 student isn't dodging bullets from a black pilled neo-nazi incel school shooter, it's put into a work camp for getting a D in freedom and patriotism class.

[-] asg101@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago

They are finally being honest about the fact that schools in the USA are not for education, but intake centers for the new plantations: For Profit Prisons.

grillman:

"We need to cut education and critical thinking and instead focus on discipline"

"The one context we should be lenient about is bullying. It helps teach the wimps to be more normal!"

"Of course we should cut history and science first, only nerds could possibly care about that stuff anyways!"

"While we're at it, we should use those funds to add a surveillance system to look for any queers!"

"....after all, the last thing we want is to make anyone (me) UNCOMFORTABLE!"

[-] asg101@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

"The one context we should be lenient about is bullying. It helps teach the wimps to be more normal!"

Also helps identify future slave catchers (pigs) and plantation guards.

Libraries were the only way I survived my youth.

Education is the enemy of fascism.

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

We should be careful to hedge this as real education. The fascists do plenty of education of their own, intended to groom a fascist culture through hitler youth approaches. Historical revisionism and carefully chosen philosophical bullshit go a long way towards the shaping of entirely fascist generations.

[-] axont@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago

Part of this is happening because the state of Texas seized control over the school district from the city, I've been guessing because it's the most populated in the state and one of the least white

[-] DroneRights@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

I'd guess it's because of them there big city liberals with their radical ideas like "basic equality". Of course the Nazi party want to re-educate their kids

[-] john_browns_beard@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago

The beatings will continue until morale improves

[-] StalinForTime@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I swear to God we're gonna get to the point , if we haven't already (I'm thinking of that obama-socialism quote where he describes trying fuck that bi girl at college by flexing his Foucault learns) where all the administrators and managers are reading Foucault and treating it as a manual.

[-] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

Find the policy psychos responsible and [redacted... Like really fucking redacted]. Sooner or later there's going to be some kids who "graduate" from said system with nothing to lose... Maybe with all the easy access to [redacted] and it'll eventually sort itself out. The free marketplace of ideas is such a bastion of innovation.

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

I am hereby calling on Joe Brandon and the Demoncrat party to drone strike every Republican the second they leave the country.

[-] roux@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 1 year ago

At any point, did they consider having a education system that was worth a shit instead?

[-] M68040@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

But then they couldn't build increasing amounts of cruelty into it!

[-] envis10n@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago

What a fucking disgrace

[-] Junomint@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

Ah yes because burning the books is how you improve education-shits bonkers even on the most cave man of levels.

[-] Llituro@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

ah yes, the correct response to poor academic performance, plan B so to speak: work day camps

[-] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago
