You’re right, diffent people have diffent ideas of what a proper education is. And when I need to know the answer about something that every day people are bickering about I turn to professionals.

It’s not about what I want to be taught, it’s about what should and needs to be taught. I’m not saying I should decide that, but you sure as fuck shouldn’t either. Again, trained, educated, experienced professionals in their field.

I won’t get into it, but there are plenty examples through history and in most people’s personal lives that show parents, in fact, do not always know what’s best for their kids. Being a parent isn’t some special feat. You had a kid, the thing almost anyone can do, it doesn’t make you magically know everything about raising a child.

Also I never called you a Nazi, but thanks for letting me know where you stand.

Nobody called you a Nazi until you self reported bro. Now we know, but you were being given the benefit of doubt.

neither he nor anybody else here has called you a nazi, but if you’re so used to being called a nazi that you just assume anything you say is going to get you labeled as one, maybe you should have a think about why. if you met an asshole today, you met an asshole, but if you meet assholes all day every day, either you’re a proctologist or you’re the asshole.

anyway, to your point, the reason parents don’t get to decide how public school educates their kids is because kids need to learn about evolution in order to understand any of biology, they need to learn about american slavery in order to understand anything about why this country is the way it is, they need to learn about objectivity vs. subjectivity and how statistics work in order to detect when they’re being lied to, by, say, fox news, and they need to learn about how their own bodies work so that they don’t get and spread stds, don’t have unwanted pregnancies and drop out of college, don’t think they’re freaks if their gender or sexuality doesn’t fit neatly into one of the standard boxes, and do know what sexual abuse is and what to do if it happens to them. and parents claiming parents’ rights on education are always and only ever doing it because they want their kids to be ignorant on all of those subjects, with all the negative consequences that follow from that. and that was also something the nazis wanted, hence why they burned down and destroyed the work of the institute for sexual research, as well as a bunch of other stuff.

so yeah, i’m not going to call you a nazi, but i am going to say that the things you argue for align pretty closely with things the nazis argued for.

Because there are objective community standards to how a kid grows and develops in our society and you have to conform to that whether you agree to it or not. You don’t have the right to raise your kids however you want and it’s a damn good thing you don’t. That’s how child abuse becomes endemic.
