    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.

        When it’s bleeding hard progressivism that causes these issues, it’s pretty obvious!

        It wasn’t republicans that trashed California public schools in the name of ‘racial equity.’

          I know they did this to public universities, but what exactly does DEI mean in public primary schools?

            In her case her suggestion that certain kids be sent to the police or removed from the classroom for rape threats were met with accusations of racism.
