home schooling information meeting held in CA is packed. The education racket has jumped the shark, it seems.

@Phil Really the conclusion is "parents are fed up"... seems to me the conclusion is parents are scared of COVID.
@freemo Could be some of the latter, but there is plenty of evidence that parents are fed up. I live in a swing state and parents showing up to school board meetings in huge numbers and recalling school board members over CRT and mask mandates, and also forcing the withdrawl from the National School Board association seem to point more to the former.
@Phil There is certainly a crowd that is fed up with masks, and the such... pretty much the same crowd that were trump supporters, so.. like 30% or 40% or something of the population, which is significant. But their angst isnt so much directed at the school board as it is government regulations as a whole.
@Phil There are always exceptions on both sides of course... But for the most part it is an issue that is more or less split down political lines in my experience.
@freemo I'm a bit more optimistic than that. In my state we passed a constitutional amendment to revoke and restrict the governor's (a dem) emergency powers. For that to pass many dem voters had to vote in favor of it. so I don't think it is just Trump supporters fed up with masks. I also know some lefties that are fed up with the schools.
