Hence ensuring that our children are taught what to believe rather than how to reason and the facts they need to decide on their own is anathema to Democrats. It's not surprising fascists historically have wanted to propagandize the people not educate them.
That's why Democrats, which include the teacher's unions, work hard to shut down any competition to the public schools. Every kid who escapes the main stream public schools and the union teachers is a kid who might actually get a real education and pose a threat to the unions and the Democrats. To be fair not all teachers embrace this philosophy and do their best to truly educate their kids but mandated curriculums and policies make it hard for even good teachers to go against the Democrats objectives.
A little noticed aspect of the agreement that ended the LA teachers strike was that the Board would ask for a statewide examination of charter schools and that the Board should consider asking for a state wide moratorium on them.
Charter schools are schools that are privately run but publicly funded. They are required to conform to many of the same rules as public schools but they generally provide a far better education for the same per student cost. Parents love them because they aren't one size fits all machines which exist solely to meet graduation statistics.
Why would the teachers union care about that? The answer is simple; in general charter schools succeed and the teachers at charter schools aren't unionized. Also charter schools are competition to the failing public schools. Which means that to compete the public schools would actually have to start improving what they do. That is an unimaginable evil to teachers unions and so instead of competing and driving charter schools out of business by providing great educations to their students they, like all Democrats, want to shut down their competition via political maneuvering.
It's clear that Democrats want our kids to be indoctrinated not educated from the sort of left wing insanity they require to be "taught" in school such as having kindergarteners learn that being gay is great and a man can be a woman. We've all seen stories about teachers advocating left wing political causes like the California teacher who declared that the members of the military were "the friction' lowest of our low".
And the teachers unions are glad to go along because they're radical left wing organizations which have no shame; they're eager to ask for pay raises in places where the teachers are completely failing to educate the kids and where teachers are already earning quite generous salaries.
The unions spend a fortune to support the Democrats who in turn give teachers raises no matter how poorly they're doing.
That's why Democrats are quite willing to go along with making kids education worse; it helps get them huge amounts of money from teachers unions and it dumbs down America so that people will vote for Democrats like Ilhan Omar and Ocasio-Cortez--who says that facts don't matter.
