It’s beyond parody at this point.
Veterans can teach up to grade 12??? While I’m sure some of them know differential equations and logarithmic expressions, I doubt it’s that easy to actually teach it.
Why vets specifically???
The US has this weird hero worship thing for vets. It is an indoctrinated reflex for people to say “thank you for your service”. It is so prevalent that a lot of vets, especially younger ones, even find it tiresome.
Another thing is that by treating soldiers and veterans as special, the Capitalist class helps assure their loyalty. Veterans have more social safety nets for this reason as it helps keep them from becoming lumpen-proletariat or otherwise being as exposed to the harsher conditions of Capitalism.
The ruling classes have learned via history that the military is its own sort of faction, and keeping that faction happy is often the difference between staying in power or not. Veterans are included in that, because active duty want to know they’ll be looked after when they finish, plus veterans leave the military with training particularly suited toward removing people from power.
It’s gotta be virtue signalling to the white supremacist troop loving majority of crackers. I can’t think of any other reason.
because america lol
The number of grade-school kids that study differential equations is vanishingly small. So far as I know, only the IB program has the option for that.
Seems like a way to recruit more kids
You’ve heard of a 4 day work week, now we’re gonna be even more progressive and implement a 4 day school week!
Anarchists shaking with joy
Better than a snow day for the little kiddies
4 day work week because its healthier and more efficient/productive 😡😠😤🤬
4 day school week because we refuse to pay teachers a living wage 🥰😍😘😇
I guess fuck the teachers who went into student debt to teach.
Yeah fuck em, shouldn’t be so good at their jobs that they teach kids to be loving and accepting.

“Well, kids, today Mr. Shootman will teach you how to murder and torture civilians”
Yey!!! Can’t wait to learn how to be a white supremacist!!!

All right kids! Fill out this worksheet on the top reasons to join the US army as soon as you turn 18! Right answers only!
Patriotism is non negotiable class 💥
Missouri just lowered the requirements to become a substitute teacher K-12 to a 20 hour online course.

This is tangentially related but you should see the requirements for being a prison guard (“corrections officer”) now, and how far they’ve fallen, at least in Missouri. Age limit down from 21 to 18, UA drug tests are pretty much reserved for higher ups, no longer need a driver’s license or GED/diploma.
On one hand it’s good to see how desperate they are, on the other… the state sanctioned alternative is bringing in the military.

So does that mean pretty much any high school dropout can apply and indulge in control fantasies for state salary?
Yes absolutely. It’s the freakin’ wild west around here in some ways.
The kids have no chance 😔
Florida wants to remove college education requirements for teachers and replace them with meathead marine vets.
New headline: “School Army recruiters now being transitioned from substitute to permanent teaching roles.”
Are they trying to solve two problems (staff shortages and school shootings) in one go?
They’re probably hoping some soldiers will have a ptsd episode that involves harming children. That way the school gets sued (but not DeSantis or the state legislators who put the marine there.) The DeSantis wing wants to destroy public education entirely.
Okay that is just evil
This can only be good right?

This sucks for the kids but it guarantees America’s failure long term so…
This will permanently cripple the future of an entire generation of working class irreparably, even if a Communist revolution takes place in their locale in their lifetime.
This is the owning class placing children on the sacrificial alter. This is the Capitalist class once again fucking over the working class.
This is something to kill Capitalists over, not celebrate.
Gonna go out on a limb here and wager you weren’t saying, “this sucks for the women but it guarantees America’s failure long term so…” when abortion was criminalized recently.
Children are an age group, and singling out a specific group based on biological factors as a sort of sacrifice doesn’t sit well with me.
I have liked a lot of your contributions to various Lemmy posts but this one should be revisited, Comrade.
You aren’t wrong. All I can say is that I really fucking hate America and sometimes it gets away from me.
I understand. I hate it too. I want it to fall too.
But I want it to fall specifically to the benefit of the next generation. Not to the detriment. Future working class people will have enough on their plate with things like climate change. And even if the revolution is happening right now the vestiges of Capitalism will take several generations to wipe away. During that time the next generations will need every tool at their disposal to fix what we failed to fix in our lifetimes.

Texas one would be progressive if used correctly
“Used correctly” being the operative word/words here.
I just realized that the images next to the items are states. The last one looked like a gun, which fits
That’s florida, which is conveniently shaped like the gun i would shoot myself with if i had to live in florida
especially Gusano City
