Yes, but what about the willfulness part? How to account for the outpouring of opposition to education for things like evolution, critical race theory, sex education, 1619 project, etc.?
Up in Canada, people were manipulated into blocking the streets in protest of SOGI 123, which isn’t even a curriculum, just resources to help create safer school environments. The recent event in Oklahoma resulting in a 16 year old’s death shows such resources are necessary, but someone is funding efforts to put a stop to them.
So yeah, education does a pretty good job of reducing violence, but what’s the solution when education itself is under attack?
Well that’s what you have been told, and here you are repeating it. As with evolution, sex education and the other examples, someone benefits from the mischaracterization and opposition to information being presented. They come up with ridiculous sounding bullshit and rely on others to repeat that bullshit. I can’t speak directly to the 1619 project, I don’t know much about it. I only know that some of the people in my social circles that got all worked up about it are people I consider dumber than ditch water.
We are talking about education as a means of reducing or preventing gun violence - the topic you started. It’s my contention that as soon as you introduce an educational program aimed at reducing gun violence, someone is going to come along and say something like: “these dang freedom-hating libruls claim law-abiding responsible hunters are a bunch of violent psycho murders! They’re only tryin to put food on the table for their families. We must stop these communists fixin to take away our guns!”
Ok great. So the conclusion is that practically nothing can be done to reduce gun violence in America beyond what we are already doing. We are already edumacating the populace as fast as we can and while there has been progress, results are slowish and variable. No law could have ever stopped the Kansas city shooting and one must accept that the price you pay for all this freedom and liberty is the chance that you could get shot at any moment. Unless of course, you are wealthy. God Bless America.
Are we really educating the population? Test scores are dropping. We are spending time teaching children there are 57 genders and that everything is racist. We have a 1619 project trying to teach children misinformation.
We need to go back to education and teach what is important. Right now, we are wasting valuable time teaching BS when we should be teaching what matters. kids lost a lot of time with COVID. We need to focus on getting them back on track, otherwise we will have a lost generation

1619 has serious errors in it. Teaching people lies isn’t education.
Education is teaching people facts and how to think.
People need to be willing to support their schools

It’s not what I’ve been told. It’s full of misinformation.
Woosh. You missed the whole point of his statement. It isn’t education on gun violence. It’s education in general. Education reduces violence.
You want to teach god knows what when the studies are about education.
Was that the whole point? Ha, woosh indeed.
Yes. It’s not teaching about gun violence but education in general.
