The entire process of finding a job has changed, and not just for new grads. I have no idea how I'd go about finding one today.

The future skills gap derived from tablet raised COVID kids "taught" by activist teachers may be the downfall of the West. The stories I read and hear spell doom.

There's definitely challenges in education today, but "activist teachers" is not one of them.

"Activist teachers" and administration are definitely some of the challenges in education today.

So the way this works is, when you make a claim, and someone else denies the claim, to convince people you present some evidence. Merely repeating the claim makes us think that you don't have any, or that you're too lazy to look it up.

You made the claim. Defending the claim is your job.

It is a culture warrior troll account. They can only parrot what they heard on their shitty podcasts; deeper thought is beyond them.

You mean the problems with "activist teachers" trying to insert religious indoctrination into the education process? Yes, that is an issue that needs to be worked on.

Yes, religious indoctrination in Newchurch (wokeism)[0] and Christianity in the education process are issues that need to be worked on.

Wow. I am extremely interested in having dialog "across the aisle", but there so much passive aggressive anger in that screed that it ironically borders on its own form of religious fundamentalism.

I'd be foolish enough to try a conversation there but it seems comparable to trying to persuade a devout person of faith to abandon their church.
