"Teachers focused on teaching and not indoctrinating. I don’t recall a single politicized lesson at my public high school. No rainbow flags, no trans kids - maybe a few were gay but they weren’t mistreated for it."

It might surprise younger people, but I never had any idea what party, if any, my teachers belonged to. Civics and history class were about governments, not parties. Maybe they should have mentioned that it is the democratic party that is and was behind all institutional racism. I had to learn that for myself.

I can't even say with any certainty what party, if any, my parents supported. They taught their kids to think for themselves and make their own choices. Today, that's radical.

“everyone could dish it out and take it”. Yes. And that’s HUGE.
