Liberal has been a 'bad word' for decades because of it being intertwined with what we call today 'woke'. Consider how you have so many conservatives agreeing with what you talk about. It is by no means that they, nor are you some racist 'yahtzee' bigot -istophobe. They've been using this tactic even back when they smeared McCarthy for pointing out the communist infiltration, which is becoming less able to deny when we see how it has finally latched on with the rise of woke. At the time, it was seen as fear mongering, and now we're the ones subject to blacklisting because of warning about this infiltration, and we tried to stop it at its inception before it grew out of hand. Now, decades after the year 1984, the warnings of the book are starting to look more and more like the reality we had hoped would not happen after the Berlin wall came down and the USSR collapsed. Yet it took a somewhat 'Brave New World' turn, as was realized the best way to enslave people is through pleasure and vice, and even a false promise of eternal youth. Sure a death cult may keep the population youthful, but by killing off the old, as is done with legalizing, and government advising on euthanasia. But will cutting life off at both the beginning and end of life ever satisfy this Malthusian social Marxist death cult? Probably not. The French Revolution showed us how proto communism will kill off its enemies, then eat its own in a purity spiral infighting that will kill off any one they feel has betrayed them or hasn't been fully loyal and on board with the cult regime. Yet as bad as the left can get, it cannot be noted the other problem when conservatives fail to do anything but preserve the revolution, or in our current year - preserve the decay and corruption caused by the current leftist death cult. I wish conservatives would finally step up to the plate and truly defend Western civilization from the hive mind, death cult virus, but they worry about social etiquette that has long since been thrown out, and that the left tramples over. For you can't be 'nice' to these people. Regardless how much you cater to them, they will continue to spit on you, insult you, call you the literal Nazi, and wish for your death - until they can make it legitimate in their eyes to go out and kill us. The conservative areas are called by them flyover states, and that's only because they haven't found a way to fully infiltrate and destroy the conservative states. But the can control them to some degree by was of weak conservative Republican leadership that still thinks bipartisanship was a good thing, and that it is a viable option still. Yet what did that get us besides Obamacare and 8 years for the left to build and grow strong enough to take the strangle ho.d they have over our society today? And that's still only hitting at the surface of the iceberg. I wish we had conservative with the spine and fortitude to actually stand up to the left. Maybe if they did that decades before we wouldn't have needed Trump to be the bulldozer to attempt to dismantle the swamp. Maybe if they stood strong and unified, we would have been able to have gotten to the truth of a certain date and the certain fraud that sparked it. But no, for some reason the GOP can't or won't stand up to the left, and act more like controlled opposition, rather than any real contender against the left. Until conservatives, or some new party rises that actually could stand against the left comes about, we will continue to be screwed over by leftist tyranny.

First off, not all public school teachers are rabid leftist woke advocates. In America, at least, how liberal or conservative a public school district is depends on a variety of factors. Rural and small town schools and school districts tend to lean conservative, while suburban and city schools tend more liberal. This also can depend on the state government itself and how liberal or conservative it is. But this is American society 101.
Also, private schools are not necessarily better than their public school counterparts. This can depend on who are the major donors. There are even Christian schools that have bent the knee to the highest bidder, and thus teach things contrary to the faith. There's also how our colleges and universities have been poisoned by the Frankfurt school of thought, as well as a variety of other philosophies that pushed the idea that going to college makes one superior, unless you fall back into 'superstitious' things like Christian faith and believing in God, thinking capitalism is good, and overal being a conservative Republican. Faced with that becoming a common and more dominant narrative in society, is it really a surprise we are where we are?

@AnDyH79 - most women don't want to be toxic in their relationship with men. Women that identify as feminist get a hard pass from most guys. When talking most guys, I'm not talking the barefoot and pregnant, or woman's place is in the kitchen, but guys that have no qualms about women going to work, are perfectly fine with women voting, having their own space to play sports, serve in the military, and basically consider the sexes, male and female, as being equal. These women that don't want to be feminists see the movement as mostly man-haters, possibly lesbians, or just bitter old divorced ladies that want nothing to do with men. If a person is a woman that still likes guys, feminism just screams, "We're not for you!" And they do hate housewives, the more traditional woman, and pretty models that they constantly jeer as mean girls, regardless if it's true or not. In short, feminism carries a lot of baggage that both a lot of men and women are happy to do without.

@Mk V2 - I am am sure you are an overreacting U-tard commentor that doesn't know what he's talking about, and puts words into people's mouths to build a strawman to argue with. For I never said everyone in the 90's had a computer, nor does that even make sense as an indicator of computer literacy. Most people didn't own books when the Gutenburg press was invented, but availability and expanse of literacy is still attributed to it. The money companies like Microsoft and Apple put into schools that funded computer science rooms, and virtually put a computer in every classroom, was a boom in computer literacy and helped grow the demand for computers in the home. It also helped that computers were coming down in price and becoming more affordable by the mid to late 90s, making home computing more possible than it could have been in the 70's and 80's, when far less powerful computers cost way more than the entry level multimedia home PCs of the 90's. Add to that, with gaming consoles getting into the $300 - $500 range, those multimedia PCs, while maybe a few hundred extra, promised to do more than just play games.
