Well, we're seeing a lot of that go down the drain currently and it's scary. However we're such a huge country, I think our public schools will vary state by state, school district by school district really. There's been a concerted effort by the right to get on school boards and influence curriculum. It's a lot more out in the open now with Prager U BS. See latest ridiculous headlines of how slavery shouldn't be taught so negatively (Uhhhhhhhhhhh). A lot of Christianity trying to be infused into classrooms, proposals to display 10 commandments, banned books etc. Meanwhile same school district supervisors being caught watching porn during these board meetings! Sigh. This was like in Oklahoma which man I feel for Oklahomans. Meanwhile, where I live, I don't fear so much for that kind of curriculum cause I'm in a place Trump would probably call a crime infested shithole (it's not) and schools display the progress flag and respect pronouns and such. But man I don't know if the numbers are in our favor and the general populace HAS gotten dumber I swear...
