Very insightful discussion. As an educator and 30-year Navy vet, teaching is a vocation where one significantly impacts the future generation. I went into education partly because of the concerns for my children. Being a Vietnamese boat refugee coming to America at the age of 14 without my parents, I had to mature very quickly. I now feel a sense that our public educational system has drifted toward wokeism, which is a form of communism I escaped from 43 years ago.
