>In Oregon we're full of good, liberal intentions no we're filled with far left rage, which explains why our schools are great at churning out angry mobs to join riots, but terrible at teaching kids to read we've got to deal openly and honestly with leftist extremism

Because to the leftist politics is life, its how they intend to survive, it delivers to them literally everything. Most right leaning people do not have this focus on politics not remotely they believe what they want is delivered primarily through their families careers and faith

So any wrong think no matter how minor is seen as a threat directed at their person, a threat that must be eliminated, as leftists like to say "by any means necessary"

Clarence Thomas is right Progressivism is the opposite of what our constitution promises this is a nation of individual rights not collective responsibilities. There's not a right in the constitution "progressives" don't want to "revise" from hate speech laws to gun grabs

its pretty bonkers that democrats consider any effort at confirming folks eligibility to vote in our elections to be "voter suppression" (ie IDs) actually I think it tells us who exactly is voting in our elections, and democrats like it just fine with basically no safeguards

They could you know just base the aid on strictly economic lines with poorest districts receiving the most aid If black and brown majority schools are truly more disadvantaged than their white rural peers they’ll receive the disproportionate distribution of funds

The star trek academy debacle really illustrates what the left is about. Trek is the future they said they dreamed of, post scarcity/capitalism, tolerant. they still hate that future, because straight white men still exist, and merit means sometimes they get to be in command

Portland public school enrollment is down, PPS teacher pay is up, so when there are budget issues do they lay off staff given the fewer numbers of students? nope, they just cut back on instruction time for the kids wweek.com/news/schools/2026/…
