Education or indoctrination: inside the bitter fight dividing America's schools - video

 

Carmel, Indiana, is an affluent suburb just north of Indianapolis known for low crime rates and some of the country’s best public schools. But early last year, the school board brought in diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, or DEI, which seek to combat structural racism in the education system. Since then,  a battle has erupted between those who welcome the changes, and others who see it as leftwing indoctrination

The bottom 40% of earners in the US pay no income taxes!!!!  The top 1% pay over 40% of income taxes.

And they match Social security and Medicare taxes for every employee they have. 

 

Happiness is NOT a right!!!  

The right to PURSUE happiness is.!

Unskilled labor is just that. Unskilled! Learn a trade and you will move up the ladder.

Flipping burgers at McDonalds was never supposed to be a career job.

I used to get up everyday as a kid ( 12 ) and get on my bike and throw newspapers... Had to do the collections too.

Now a guy in a van does this for a living! Whos fault is that?

I came from a low income family. I worked my butt off to get where I am. I took all the risk. 

Now I'm supposed to share more? I give to charity's that i believe deserve it.

Not some lazy crackheads sitting in front of the liquor store everyday
