Let's say it again for the low info votes. The government does NOT control what is taught in schools. Of course, the ones really pushing this are the states that want to put religion in schools and ranked and the BOTTOM of the nation's educational ratings.

So in Texas, Florida and other red states, kids will be taught that the earth is 6,000 years old, that slavery had its benefits, and that the 2020 election was stolen. In blue states, kids will be allowed to read Fahrenheit 451, The Handmaid's Tale, and 1984. That'll keep us united.

Our two youngest were in preK and I thought it was great. The older ones were in day care and any instruction was more informal. I’m just not a believer in my school’s funds being diverted from our public schools. Fix public education before you start doling out their money.
