I also find it quite unpleasant that the elected representatives, in all this time, did not try to replace it with grassroot level measure such as food security, free tuition, books etc. higher school and teacher density in lower income or low performing areas.

So you support leftist ambitions, but because of some nonsense on Twitter you feel obligated to give credence to actual, flag-waving, "we're coming to take your kids and throw you in prison," nazis?

Holy shit you're the guy from the meme

All of the stances taken by one side need not resonate with you.

I'm going to take the absolute worst possible view of the minority of the people I disagree with and paint the entirety of them as that thing

Yeah I totally am you know.

Despite the fact that I have never had a Twitter account.

Or despite the fact that I work in a charity teaching and facilitating teaching of the same children covered by affirmative action equivalent in my poor third world country earning bare minimum.

Or despite the fact that I've know and participated in research programs aimed at assessing the impact of such measures.

I get that because we're online, people feel certain freedom to say whatever they want but please be mindful of the fact that a real person is at the other end in the future.
