The state will always exist and NV> the state is a weapon. The purpose of politics is to reward friends and NV> punish enemies. The tools of the state, the dept of education, must be NV> used to further your ideology. NV> When you say "your ideology" I don't know what or who you are talking about. I just think the 10th Amendment means something... It was/is there to limit the Federal government. I think that trying to control EVERYTHING from a far distant district 100s or even 1000s of miles away is stupid. I'm not sure if you want to call that an Ideology. So, in Red States, even better, counties in said states control what their kids are being taught. Some may want you to focus on the fundamentals like math, reading and writing... to name a few things. Whereas, Blue States can continue with DEI, Pronouns and teachers Twerking and doing Tick Tock video and showering and using the bathroom with opposite sex children... Taking minor children to get abortions or letting minor children start transitioning without the parents knowledge then so be it. NV> NV> Until you are actively using the power of the state to enforce your NV> morals you will lose. Everything is top down and if you want people to NV> live certain morals then said morals must be pushed from the top down. NV> This is why Government should not be seen/used at the "Macro Level". The Federal Government should do Federal things only... Protect the citizens, Immigration and Trade, just to mention a few things. The state is the same whereas each county can handle the county things, education being one of many things. I think you're misunderstanding something, and it's okay because I'll correct you. I don think any government should enforce anybody' "Morals"... It's not their job. It's the family's job!!! Let Mom and Dad do what they think is right for the family... The State just needs to focus on the fundamentals of education. Help citizens get Degrees, Engineering and other non-Gender Studies Degrees. Maybe get those that need help getting involved in Trades that pay well. The government, the US anyway, should remain as a Constitutional Republic and the Federal Government should have a small footprint in peoples lives.
