I read that description as positional not characteristic – i.e. they’re not about big abstract theories of government ( publicly ) because addressing that topic would only undermine their objectives.

FWIW Maud had been interviewed by Benjamin Boyce about a year ago. You can find that on YouTube if you’re interested – she discusses what’s been occurring in NYC schools, how it came about and who is behind the take-over that has taken place under de Blasio. She’s politically astute and understands the ideologies and powers at play. But I think she also understands that she has to be careful with her criticism, knowing that her local audience isn’t ready to confront certain issues head on.

There are two acquaintances…both women…who are leftist, not by philosophy but because they just believe any nonsense that the left comes out with.
One posts on FB, and the other is like her; so dumb it’s not going to help the social relationship to mention anything logical.
Mentioned energy independence. The FB poster, when we were at dinner, looked entirely blank, until she said with satisfaction, “no war for oil.”
And that was the limit of her understanding of the subject and what she thought was an apt answer.
She has no kids in school, so her connection to the current issues is second-hand at best. No opinion that I could discern without bringing up the subject, which I preferred not to do.

Ray Van Dune:

It’s a hard situation to be in.

In my family, the tension I’ve had with some family members doesn’t follow any male/female pattern, though.

This is a difficult subject for me, because I really enjoy the company of smart women, and most of my professional relationships have been with them. Unfortunately, in my family I simply have 100% liberal women who are totally at the command of the latest Democrat propaganda! It has ruined my family life, and left me intellectually lonely. And I am sure there are millions of men like me!

I will believe it when I see it in the votes.

—
Votes by the mom’s or the pols? For example, this discontent (and the pols reading the tea leaves) have lead to :

“By a vote of 21-17, with several Democrats joining all Republicans, the Senate passed SB739, which lets parents “elect for [their child] to not wear a mask on school property.”

In that case, the moms are pushing the (D) to the liberty side. In effect, it doesn’t matter if the representative is (R) or (D) as long as the policy is proper. In that respect, we are already seeing ‘the votes’

They haven’t made the transition to Republican (except for one who started out as one)
They will have to give up their progressive religion before they can be of any long-term help. They might think things have gone too far and should back up a little, but if they don’t totally renounce progressivism we’ll be right back here again in another generation, and they will be wondering “Didn’t we stop this the first time? Why don’t these folks remember that?”

No doubt these women will cast about for candidates who opposed school enforced masking, shots. Then they’ll want that same candidate to be pro CRT, LGBLT, welfare, redistribution, single payer universal health care, gun control, mail-in voting, open border, windmill and solar farm pols. They’re single issue, part time-temporary conservatives.

Delilah, I hear you. My heart cries about this, a lot. In both anguish and anger.
It’s a tough fight I would never have guessed we’d be in, say 20 years ago.
My sisters homeschooled their children. Not easy at all, but I’m so glad they sacrificed.
Hoping more people wake up.

The schools are a real nightmare.
–Sexualization of kids, down to pre-schoolers is disgusting. Kids don’t need to think or know about sex until they approach puberty, and then it is the parents’ rights to decide how, what and when.
–Made worse by the LGBTQ crap, where they are pushing kids to adopt non-heterosexual identities and normalizing pedophilia, child porn, sexting, etc.
–Made even worse by the transgender insanity. I just saw an article about a FL school “counselor” who tried in secret to convince a 12yo girl that she was a boy and traumatized her so much she tried to commit suicide — at school — TWICE. Of course the school is pulling the Loudoun Country play and denying everything.
–And the racism, racism, racism.

When do they ever actually teach anything? Schools have no business teaching any of this socio-cultural junk. They should only be teaching reading, writing, math, science, etc. Real skills and knowledge the kids need to know to function in the world and become productive members of society. Oh, wait, yeah…
