People on both the mainstream Right and even our whatever side will just list off "solutions" that have no deeper thought beyond "fixes the issue entirely."
Just ask them about education and see them answer "homeschool" with no thought given to logistics or the followup consequences if enough people assume this solution.
I would say the right is at least more coherent in the reality of a non permanent solution, which is why micro schools, school choice, and charter schools have gained so much traction. Trying to open up choice on the parents end is not a solve all but it also allows more flexibility for the parents to be in control over the government.
more flexibility for the parents to be in control over the government.
And when the government loses its power over one of its greatest propaganda wings and brainwashing centers, it won't simply just give up the fight and say "good game you got us." We've already seen a snippet of that with the absolutely retardation that is Truancy Laws.
Which is why I use it as an example. Its like living off the grid. A great individual choice to make, until it becomes enough of a thing that the government feels the heat. At which point they will threaten, legislate, and attack you to get you back. So that's an eventuality you need to not only prepare for, but also be on the offensive to prevent.
I don't have a real solution myself. I didn't mean to position myself as having the answers, only as having had plenty discussions pointing out obvious flaws that get handwaved over. Flaws I've witnessed while trying to navigate that minefield myself.
Personally, I don't think education is that useful at all after a certain level much lower than what our diploma issuers think. Much of which can be acquired by on hand work that all children should be a part of.
Like, I gained about as much knowledge and skill from about a year of helping my Pastor out on weekends cleaning up yards and houses than I did in 13 years of public education. You pick up math and reading quickly when its actual hard work on the table instead of nebulous "tests" you might not care about or be capable of.
Its something no side understands.

The person who makes a move on education reform of that scale is getting the Kennedy treatment.
What’s your solution to education? Or what ideas do you have?
I don't have a real solution myself. I didn't mean to position myself as having the answers, only as having had plenty discussions pointing out obvious flaws that get handwaved over. Flaws I've witnessed while trying to navigate that minefield myself.
Gotcha. I can definitely understand not wanting to put your kid in public school. Homeschool takes a lot of work but it can be effective.
