    We shouldn’t need to pass a bill to prevent lies and irrational theories from being taught. Honestly, I can’t think of a reason why government should be telling teachers what they should be discussing at all (just like telling mothers how to deal with their health) - other than ensuring that children be given the best opportunities in the real world.

    We have a public school system, and you very much want that public school system regulated. You cannot ensure that students have opportunities without regulating education.

    What you don’t want is fucking lunatics in your legislature, saying things like “slavery good.”

    This is what happens when people have little choice in elections but to vote for the candidates they dislike the least.

    Their candidates ran on exactly this. This was their campaign promise. Their voters got exactly what they wanted.

    Government isn’t broken. People are.
