Meanwhile there are school districts in the US being taken over by right-wing state governments in order to blunt education and increase the thoroughput of the school-to-prison pipeline

Hey I went to a DOD school.

They're not like a top-tier ruling class kids' school, but they're on par with a public school in an upper middle class neighborhood or a decently sized Catholic school. Also despite what you might think the DOD is pretty hands-off with micromanaging the curriculum, so you actually get taught history which is nice. I remember parents complaining because they thought the Air Force's High School/Recruitment Center was too woke, lmao.

IMO it's a standard every school in America could live up to if they were fully funded, minus the recruitment center aspect.

Yea a recruitment center is pretty messed up, a few friends went to Catholic schools and they actually didn’t learn as much history there as I would’ve expected, kinda odd imo
