I'll just ask here: I've attended rallies for Ted Cruz and today Marco Rubio -both took time during their speeches to rail against education and specifically mentioned the Department of Education should be, in Cruz's words, "abolished."

Why is the DoE targeted specifically? Is this some kind of anti-intellectual, hating on big government telling my kids what to learn sort of thing? They don't elaborate and are usually ushered out of the room before I can interview them for work.

It's a mix of "big government", leftover pandering to creationists, pandering to people who want their kids beaten in schools, and attacking any sense of universality as a people.

ever since the department of education, which is not in the constitution, was imposed upon america, big government is attempting to indoctrinate your children and force liberal atheistic ideas down their throats

basically parents have anxiety about their kids disagreeing with them and being independent persons, and the biggest contributor to this is education, which can teach them Wrong and Incorrect things. combined with a general republican fear of washington policies and top down government, they see the DoE as a corrupting influence that will corrode local autonomy in school choice and education. it's a convenient shibboleth for any and all complaints about how kids grow up as well as a convenient, safe target to get pissy about Big Government

many republicans would prefer to dismantle public schools and send their kids to private or parochial schools, most recently with a push towards charter schools, so their kids can be in a safe environment with their peers (no minorities) and recieve a wholesome, non-partisan education (only learn what i want them to learn)

re: education.

Kevin Sorbo's shrill ayn rand idealogue of a wife said that "Public Schools don't even teach about the founders. When they do? They go on about how they're evil men! All they do is teach them the communist manifesto! I home school my child, in fact I'm writing a book about how easy it is for parents to do!"

It took me getting to a world history class in college to read anything about Marx and even that was brief as hell. I meanwhile got it drilled in my head multiple times during elementary, middle school, jr. high, and high school who the hell the founders were. Bits like Jefferson owning slaves were omitted. Hell took me watching a documentary (again in college) to learn that Ben Franklin liked to gently caress french whores.

It really reads like class warfare though when you remove yourself from their crazy rear end beliefs.

So about that pastor ousted earlier regarding US Women's Soccer, he is no stranger to batshit insanity

quote:

Swanson on homosexuality:

Boycotts Girl Scout cookies because they “promote lesbianism” and “I don’t want my little girl turning into a lesbian.”
Discussed whether the Rose Bowl should include a float where a gay person is stoned to death.
Lamented that these days country singer Kacey Musgraves wasn’t lynched for her “promotion of homosexuality” through song.
Urged people to hold up signs telling gay couples to die on their wedding day.
Defended a Ugandan measure to make homosexuality a criminal offense punishable by life imprisonment or the death penalty, saying he was glad the country was “standing strong” by adopting extreme anti-gay laws.
Agreed that gay marriage is like the Sandy Hook school massacre.
Wanted America to have anti-gay laws “much like what the Pilgrims had” (the Pilgrims believed that homosexuality should be punishable by death, banishment and whippings) and enforce biblical law “that says that homosexuals should be put to death.”
Explained that “a Christian perspective ultimately brought the death penalty upon homosexuality.”
And there’s more!

Flooding and fires in Colorado were the result of “decadent homosexual activity” and women wearing pants.
Hurricanes Sandy and Katrina were divine punishments of “pro-homosexual” cities.
Presbyterians embraced Satan by supporting gay rights.
Gay people are like serial killers.
When will the Boy Scouts adopt a “sodomy merit badge”?
“Sodomite schools” are pushing child abuse and “homosexual forms of laboratories.”
Homosexuality is a “disease.”
Democrats want to “make sure everybody is committing homosexual acts .”
Gays “drag feces all over one of the most beautiful things God has created.”
“The homosexual borg is the power in the principality of the demonic world itself.”
“Homosexuals love their friends and cannibals love their victims, they taste good.”
“We have to draw lines ourselves and encourage the civil magistrate to prosecute homosexuality, especially public acts of homosexuality.”
“God’s laws require that we prosecute homosexuals who are caught in the act of homosexuality.”
“Allowing [children] to be raised in these homosexual families is going to be one of the most devastating things we have ever seen in the history of mankind.”

Swanson on women:

Women who use birth control have “little tiny fetuses, these little babies … embedded into the womb,” meaning that the “wombs of women who have been on the birth control pill effectively have become graveyards for lots and lots of little babies.”
Feminists and “the homosexuals” are “destroying society.”
Working women hate men and their children and will destroy America.
Gonorrhea is God’s punishment for single women having sex.
Helping women in Kenya own their own cows will “obliterate” the family.
Swanson on pop culture:

“Frozen” is a demonic movie meant to “indoctrinate my five-year-old to be a lesbian.”
Beyoncé is possessed by demons.
Mark Twain was possessed by demons.
The Beatles spread a “demonic approach to things.”
Dumbledore encourages pedophilia.
Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry sing “demon songs.”
Katniss Everdeen is a “little girl anarchist.”
Halloween is a celebration of the victims of Noah’s flood.
William Shakespeare ruined America by planting the “seedbeds for homosexual themes and homosexual behavior.”
Swanson on other topics:

Obamacare will create death camps.
President Obama is a Muslim.
Abraham Lincoln was a communist.
Caitlyn Jenner is a pawn of Satan.
Desmond Tutu “hates Jesus.

It depends on the teacher. elementary was basic stuff as was jr high. they got more into it high school. thing was i was a history nerd so i had read all the "controversial" stuff(jefferson rape slaves, Ben's milf and gilf tips, CIA adventures, etc) but yeah it mostly got hit on in college, where both my favorite teacher ever and my shittiest teacher ever talked about that stuff.

Seriously though, it seems like leaving the RWM info-bubble alone has done more damage than good. I browse this thread constantly and I'm always surprised when Crowder specifically comes up and people just say "Oh he'll be yesterdays news any day now." Like, that should have happened already, right? He picked a fight with a union guy and lost AND got kicked off of Fox, not to mention that his comedy is just pure torture. That seems like it would be damning for anyone who has interest in a career within the bubble of God's Own Political Party news, yet here he remains.

Maybe I just don't understand the metric used to measure RWM value. Is it a) amount of people happy with your message or b) number of godless leftists that you piss off?
