   What happens when 8 years of "fundamentally transforming the United States of America" is followed up by 3 1/2 years of "let's make America great again"?

   "let's make America great again" is a Comedy of Manners.
   
   Actually instead of the word make, it is spell.
   "let's spell America great again".

      Wouldn't that be something...but, alas, the left is in charge of educating our youth, as well, so let's not hold our breath...

         I'm trying to understand how it is that the left is "in charge of" educating our youth. Presumably, local school boards select school district superintendents, who then select principals, who then select teachers. I'm confused how that means "the left" is "in charge."

            You don't wish to take a stab at my initial question PP?
            There are no right or wrong answers. I am surprised the question brought up the subject of spelling, but whatever! Nothing makes much sense any longer, so...
            
            Do you know who Jason Zimba is?
            Would you say there are more left leaning institutions of higher learning or more conservative?
            Would you say Teachers/Professors tend to be more liberal or more conservative?

         What's wrong with the youth these days? I thought they were supposed to rebell!
         
         
         
         They have been taught to hate and rebell?
         ... and are obediently doing so?
         
         (This is the problem with blind obedience.) 
         
         I infiltrated one of the protest events at a park near me. I observed as the person with the megaphone had dull emotionless youths sit in groups of ten to write down each others' phone numbers and discuss amongst themselves. Pens and little spiral booklets had been distributed. Bottles of water and bandaids were abundantly provided.
         It reminded me of a business seminar.
         The people, mostly young, had all come of their free will because they saw the event advertised on the internet, but they were quite docile.

   Who is pushing 'climate change' and why has it taken the place of cursive and civics lessons? Why is sex ed and inventing a whole new host of names for but two sexes, more critical than say a study of the U.S. Constitution?

      Is there actual evidence that teaching cursive and civics were removed to teach climate change? And, in any case, how does that show that "the left" is "in charge of" education?
      
      "Why is sex ed and inventing a whole new host of names for but two sexes, more critical than say a study of the U.S. Constitution?"
      
      Who said that it is? If someone did make an actual policy statement to that effect, I'd like to see it. And if they did, hasn't  Ms. Betsy had a few years to address it?
      
      In any case, I'm still not seeing how "the left" is "in charge of" educating our youth. Can you connect the dots for me?

            No problem. You made the statement, which runs counter to my knowledge of how school leadership is selected. Since you are declining to support it with details, I will have to stick with what I know,

               No problem, you'd "stick with" it regardless of anything I'd share with you.
               Take care. Stay safe!

   This is random, but I am curious. For those that have been here longer than me or have had the wherewithal to stay (I've come and gone a time or two) is there or has there ever been, a black conservative writing for HubPages? Many here have mystery names and faces, I guess that's easier for some to say the things they say (or rather write)
   Would a black Conservative feel comfortable writing for HubPages, I wonder? I've seen some of the awful 'terms' for conservatives such as; Candace Owens, Burgess Owens, Shelby Steele, Herschel Walker, Allen West, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, David Webb, Diamond & Silk....too many to name. Again... I am just curious.

   I don't think I could do it Kathryn. I would want to get in their faces and ask, what is wrong with you? Don't be such mindless little zombie twits!
   I would have the Covid crusaders, the America haters, the Trump haters, their hired guns.....ALL in my face, it would not end well.

      I actually did go berserk one of the days. (It was a three day 2-6PM BLM event.) I told everyone at the park, loudly that I was not racist and never have been. (The older African American man who was manning the megaphone was proclaiming that blacks have been persecuted for four centuries. All the protestors were sitting and dutifully listening to his rant. In my mind: "But what about today? What about the progress? The improvements? We had a black president for eight years! The greatness of our black athletes, entertainers and musicians! The love we have for them and our neighbors!" )
      
      Anyway, one guy said "Get out of here, Bitch."
      and that was about it.
      Some other people laughed saying, "Well, good!"
