Parties Have Bad Parts; Not Enough Doctorates For Indoctrination, Even If That Were The Goal, Says Herr D

You have not commented on Warnock vs. Walker.

Oh. Well, it's easier not to have a lame duck with a majority on one side. And I'm glad that Congress didn't get another member that talks like he got hit in the head too many times. [two second pause] And as much as I'd rather push the separation of church and state, Congress needs to be preached at for bad behavior. Various sites, some accurately, have pointed out that there are more Republican scandals than Democratic ones.

Well, they're ALL politicians, but Democrats are usually better PEOPLE. They want to give back more. They want more equality. They aren't completely better as a party, but they are the side that is better for more Americans. They also tell the truth more. But you are not a Democrat?

There are faults with their party platform too, so no.

I'm too moderate to be a Republican, too centrist to be a Democrat, and too intelligent to buy into the fallacious ideas behind any of the current parties operating today. Can you provide an example of fallacious thinking of an American voter?

There's a guy at work who declared he doesn't like how 'children will be indoctrinated.' I had to bite back asking him how badly HE was indoctrinated. I knew that would just start a bad disagreement. I just looked at him funny, which he disliked enough that he walked off. Do you want your children indoctrinated?

[jerking motion under laptop] no--of course not. They won't be. How do you know?

Teachers teach less material today than they did when I was a boy. They are less charismatic. They have less decision-making authority over curricula. They are not as respected by their communities, especially their children. They are frequently less well-educated. Any indoctrination should have been worse for me than my kids. That does follow. [1.000084 second pause] The internet contains materials that agree. A random search found most of your declarations agreeing with others' declarations at a high percentage.

Ok? Social media, complaint platforms, PTSA sites, education boards disagree on matters in a pattern, suggesting their biases could be eliminated mathematically. There is insufficient data at present to accomplish that. 

What are some differences? Less material taught is verified. Greater diversity of material present. Curricula and freedoms regarding them are currently under argument in all fifty states. Teachers are more publicly lampooned, criticized, fired, indicted, and jailed in recent times per capita than during your school years. Substitute teachers' educations are greater. [pause--]

Really?! There is a citation explaining that substitute teaching more frequently today provides income for other intended careers.

Ah. Cash runs. That actually makes sense. Teachers are also murdered, hospitalized, committed, kidnapped, and go missing more in recent times per capita than during your school years.

Eee-ewww. Yeah, that still sounds like they won't be indoctrinating much. There are more instances of noted charisma.

[sudden stillness] ? Three websites suggest that only people confident of being well-liked are as likely to become teachers now that school shootings are so common. 

yeah, I'll give you that one  Where does that leave us? Children are less likely to be indoctrinated by any curricula. They are more likely to follow teachers personal examples of stupidity or occasionally self-destructive or criminal behavior.

Not really good news, Shelob. Gotta go. [exits]
