Krystal: The real culture war is education

And Twitler, DePus and the Repugs want to sacrifice our kids, our teachers and our parents to the pandemic for their own agenda. Here Kyrstal is adamant that they are "utterly immune to reason and data," and that their "outcome is subservient to the ideology." All true. And she defends social justice in that "our public education system is outrageously immoral and unjust and does a lot of work to preserve the class and race status quo." Obviously there are legitimate social justice issues to be vigorously defended and I applaud her for doing so.

However, she claims there's no one on the left to fight that injustice. There she's wrong. Even Biden has an agenda to remedy those issues: 

"Support our educators by giving them the pay and dignity they deserve; Invest in resources for our schools so students grow into physically and emotionally healthy adults, and educators can focus on teaching; Ensure that no child’s future is determined by their zip code, parents’ income, race, or disability; Provide every middle and high school student a path to a successful career; Start investing in our children at birth."

It seems here Krystal's criticism is both "immune to reason and data" and "subservient to ideology," the ideology that claims the likes of Biden cannot possibly have any progressive ideas or policies because he has been permanently labeled 'establishment' and therefore in all cases to be shunned and cancelled. When in fact--as accumulating, recent evidence has been reported--Biden is indeed coming around to more and more progressive values and policies thanks in large part to Bernie. I can't think of a more atrocious culture cancel, in the name of a purist ideology, than not voting for Biden and handing the election over to a fascist who intends to sacrifice our children.

She does make another good point though: The right knows how to fight and the Dems don't. But not at all true about Bernie and AOC, who fight aggressively and hard. But when they practically choose the battles they have some chance of winning, the likes of Krystal complain they're not progressive enough, that they are capitulating to the corrupt system, that they don't fight hard enough. Hence her (and those like her) ideology gets in the way of getting our goals even minimally accomplished. Winning in more difficult with this sort of blindness on your own side.
