    and? it used to be the other way around with the teachers, now it’s just in the racist disinformation direction. It used to be that many teachers also complained that they were forced to teach “woke propaganda”

    by your logic, any teacher that believes the POC/LGBTQ are trying to destroy America should be able to instill that into their students. And yes, often times you don’t get to pick the truth, you don’t get to pretend that the holocaust was a Jewish plot to try and destroy the white man, you don’t get to call for lynching that N***** because he kissed a white lady, and you don’t get to advocate for dragging gays down the street via rope from a car.

    As for weaponizing any exception to the rule of free speech. have you been asleep for the last 50 years? Republicans are across the board the most anti-free peach group in America, only allowing its existence in so far as it serves their hate filled ideology, they don’t weaponize restrictions on free speech, they bitch and moan if they literally can’t call for the holocaust 2 electric boogaloo.

    As for the “No one can be trusted to be the referee”. that is bullshit. somehow, most of the rest of the 1st world manages to do just fine, But i guess this is just another one of those unavoidable things that strangely only happens in the USA.
