    These people need to read and learn from sources that aren’t Twitter/Facebook.

    I’m not going to tell anyone that they’re wrong. I will instead point to history, and the reasons these organisations exist. Compare the original concept to the current programming and I think you’ll find that not much has changed about the purpose of their existence.

    Whether your opinion agrees with the original, actual, and ongoing purpose of these organisations is completely irrelevant.

    PBS: Be kind! Learn to read!

    I literally once heard on NPR radio on the way to work that WoW players speaking out against gold farming was a racist act by white men (ironically a sexist/racist assumption about people who play that game, plenty of non-white/non-males who play), because the gold farmers are primarily foreigners (to the US). I’ll never forget that moment because I got honked at for taking too long to move after the red light I was stopped at turned green, because of my having turned down to the radio and saying “What?!” as I looked incredulously at it after hearing it, and the light happened to change right in that moment, lol.

    Let’s not pretend PBS/NPR is immune to bias, lol.

    Stopped tuning in to it on the way to work soon after that, haha.

    I mean, education and kindness are indoctrination against them, but only because they espouse the doctrines of ignorance and hatred

    The disparity between red and blue states keeps growing…

    For anyone from Arkansas: disparity means contrast

    (I’m kidding, I’m kidding, I know our Arkansas blue dots here on Lemmy aren’t dummies)

      Teachers’ classes are, sadly, full of such kids, there are many first-hand accounts out there over the past few years. It precedes COVID, but the pandemic definitely exacerbated it.

      This is not nearly a MAGA-specific issue.

      This is devastating to me, as an 8yo I was already reading medical textbooks. I can’t imagine what it would be like to not have such foundational knowledge, but if I were to assume then it must be a rather dull and boring lifestyle, perhaps even dangerous whenever there’s warning signs that don’t use symbols.

      The people financing Trump are the puppeteers, they will immediately switch to another puppet.
