   My mom received threats of rape and assault and direct violence against her vehicle as a teacher in los Angeles public schools. Turned her from a bleeding heart liberal into a die hard conservative.

   Yes it's gone too far. And the administrations don't care. Addressing it requires acknowledging uncomfortable truths

      I wonder how conservatism is the answer to this crisis.

         I would argue conservatism is the cause of this problem. Their constant attacks on educators and education in general are so pervasive.

         Additionally, there's no world in which they want these parents to actually succeed. If there's ever a scenario where someone tries to improve the lives of these people, conservatives will argue that they do not deserve it because they don't contribute to society like conservatives do.
