I grew up in the south, so there’s a lot of residual resentment against the outcome of the civil war. This has resulted in a bunch of alt-history where some, particularly racist southerners will claim the south actually won, or should have won, or blah blah.
Never knew that was a thing. I can understand the resentment shortly after the war, but this long…wow. I actually thought education was something agreed upon on a national level.
Yeah education is handled nationally, we have a department of education, but my high school was staffed with unqualified teachers who would flagrantly ignore national standards. My school in particular kept getting lawsuits for making students pray during school hours, for instance.
