Conservative parents said they’re looking to exit public schools after an anemic performance by right-leaning candidates in school board elections this week.

    Those poor kids, it’s bad enough they have bigoted morons for parents.

      For sure. My mother suffered brain damage after a heart attack while I was in high school. She nearly immediately became super conservative and scared of everything and everyone that wasn’t white because of Fox News.

      So glad that I got to finish my high school education and move away to college and cut contact with her. I can only imagine if I had been younger. Growing up, she was a progressive person who even advocated for easier legal immigration and same sex marriage when it was super unpopular to do so.

      Not saying all conservatives have brain damage, but…

        There’s definitely a correlation between issues with critical thinking and conservatism.
