Its good you see things clearly and at their most basic. I imagine the marxist harpies around you have ridiculous theories and cliches to attempt to explain the problems they see every day.
Oh Lordy, do they. My bestie is a fellow teacher (she teaches at a different school) and knows that I’m not a fellow traveler. I’ve had to drop reality bombs on her many times, and curiously — she does respond to logic and reasoning.
The ironic thing is — she comes from a deeply racist family, so left wing ideology just makes sense to her. Blacks and hispanics, in her well-meaning but fundamentally dumb way, are no more than dumb children who need to be trained and treated like pets.
“They can’t help it — they don’t know any better! They’re not like us...” is really the mindset and that’s why they need to be reigned in like cattle.
They can’t be held responsible for their actions, OR, expected to behave any differently.
To this day I curse my father for demanding I get a Creative Writing degree (basically an English degree on steroids) rather than go into advertising or get my law degree. Rich dad, full college ride, so his rules.
But, since I can teach, and teach well, I do my best to sabotage the system from the inside and drop critical thinking seeds into their little brains.
