New polling shows national Republicans and Iowa Republican caucusgoers were more interested in “law and order” than battling “woke” schools, media and corporations.

As a conservative, I’m fine with some broad anti-‘woke’ policies, but banning how people dress is absurd, and the insane focus from some candidates is wild.
What does woke mean to you? Before it got hijacked it just meant being aware of problems in society.
Preferring races or sexuality, instructing students or pushing adults to treat different demographics differently.
Can you give a real-world example of this that doesn’t reference pointless social media bickering?
What are “broad anti woke policies” to you?
Limiting public schools from pushing gender identity and sexuality on elementary students
Parental rights in the education system.
what about the parents that want their kids to learn the facts so that they have some empathy for their peers that are lgbtq+ or learn that they are ok being lgbtq+?
Then ya know…the parents should teach their kids that. It’s not schools responsibility to push social ideologies, it’s their jobs to help kids learn basic studies like math and reading.
How is learning something exists having it pushed on you?
Nobody is questioning existence, we just don’t care for it being pushed at schools.
If I want my kid to learn solely about MAGA ideologies, should that be forced on every other kid in their class? Or, should I take some responsibility and teach my kids that myself?
Being gay or trans etc. is not an “ideology” wow
Agreed, but that’s not my argument.
kids are gonna learn these things regardless, especially these days. its best to help them rather than hinder them. the ones that are lgbtq+ need to know they are fine and its ok for them to be who they are.
Why? Why not let kids learn about society by…ya know, being part of society. Over representing these issues in schools despite parents wanting schools to focus on education that helps the students future is just the government pushing their own values. That’s what we don’t want, the government just taking our kids and pushing their morals, that’s literally what indian boarding schools were about.
How is telling kindergartners that they should cross dress helpful to our society?
Okay, so on day 1 teachers can say ‘hey if you aren’t straight or question gender, you’re fine’ then you’d be okay with it if the teachers never talked about sexuality and gender for the rest of the year?
Why shouldn’t the teachers be telling young christian boys it’s okay for them to be who they are?
I thought we trans people were transing all of your young Christian daughters who are destined by Christ to be quiverfull broodmares?
Now it’s the boys too?
Very helpful
What are you talking about homie
Please name a public school that is “pushing gender identity and sexuality” on its elementary students. I would like to see evidence of this pushing.
Seattle public school district has programs that starting in Kindergarten, are teaching kids how to socially transition their gender
Every time I’m asked this, and show them the proof, their response is ‘oh well what’s wrong with that’ - so if that’s your response, you can just skip it.
Okay, how is that pushing anything? Where’s the pushing? I asked for pushing, you give me “this is something that is possible.”
Would you be saying the same thing if the k-5 education was about how much healthier and better off straight people are? Do you think teachers should spend health class saying how kids who think they’re gay should be straight instead?
Does it literally say that trans people are healthier and better off than cis people? Please tell me which video and give me a timestamp. I’m not watching all of them just to find out that wasn’t true.
The videos are telling kindergartners they’d be happier if they dress as the gender opposite of what they are.
So, I’ve only seen the kindergarten video so far. They define the words acceptance, compassion, gender, gender role, and unique. A kid came out as trans girl. A direct quote is: “I don’t care if you’re a boy Teddy or girl Teddy. What matters is that you’re my friend.”
I fail to see how this pushes children to be trans.
See, right there! At first it’s 'no it’s not happening anywhere!! then once we show you it is happening you say ‘okay it’s happening, but what’s wrong with teaching kindergartners how to crossdress??’
Why teach kindergartners that cross dressing is fun, instead of, ya know, teaching kids useful stuff?
Our education system spends more per full time student than any other country in the world, but our test scores are shitty.
Do you think maybe there’s be less push back about teachers trying to parent our kids, if the teachers actually showed they can teach our kids reasonably?
They’re disagreeing that what you posted counts as pushing rather than just informing; that’s not moving the goalposts, just disgareement.
And my argument is why any at all? If they want to be gay, idc. Why do teachers need to teach them to be gay?
Yah so you are a bigot lol.
How so?
You can’t handle that people are different than you and by having the school even mention them it sends you to a rage. It’s religious grooming that fucked you up. Lots of parallel to racism. You know this thing called freedom means you won’t always like everything to come of it. We put up with your stupid ass religious horse shit. You’ll just have to deal with seeing gay people from time to time.
I love that people are different than me! I just don’t value anyone higher than any other individual based on their race, sex or sexuality. Those qualities don’t determine how I treat people. People are people and pushing ideologies based on our differences is absurd.
HAHAH who hates people that don’t think like them, now? Also, I had 0 religious push in my childhood.
All LGBTQ people are asking is for basic rights. The republicans are passing laws to literally ban the words gay from school books. Literally banning books lol. You have no rights on what other people’s kids are not allowed to learn about. If you want to take your kid out of school do it. Otherwise ur just a bigot
What basic rights are they missing?
What proposals have republicans come up with to ban the word gay from school books?
You’re right. But people who pay for the school property, maintenance costs, improvement costs, school supplies, teachers salaries, admin salaries should have a say in their kids education. Public schools are locally funded, and forcing programs in the schools counter to what the parents want is totalitarianism similar to indian boarding schools.
You say that, but you prevent any attempt for parents to have an alternative to public school.
If 100% of parents in a school district didn’t want a book in their 3rd graders library, should it be there?
Lol. Implying there are other things to bring “anti woke”
