Government-controlled echo chambers

Children need to be exposed to diverse perspectives. When I talk about diverse perspectives, I don't mean a bunch of like-minded conformists that check the right boxes. I mean genuinely diverse perspectives. Instead, we are actively trapping children in liberal echo chambers.

I have already discussed some of these problems. The NEA and AFT are using a shallow definition of diversity as a way to attack meaningful diversity. They are trying to protect the use of liberal propaganda while trying to suppress perspectives that differ from their own. The NEA and AFT are openly promoting liberal echo chambers.

If you believe in exposing children to diverse perspectives, you really should try to expose children to diverse perspectives. Instead of suppressing diverse perspectives, you should try to understand them. Schools need to support the right of students to develop perspectives that are their own. Students need to feel that divergent perspectives will be respected rather than ridiculed.

As I have repeatedly stated, schools promote a culture of fear. Most children fear even thinking what their teachers don't want them to think. If they do think differently, they are likely to hide it. This furthers problems with the lack of diverse perspectives in schools. Schools become even more of an echo chamber, and the pressure to conform to the "right" perspective becomes even stronger.

We should not be trapping children in this environment. These echo chambers are definitively detrimental to mental development. Children are all unique. What makes them unique should lead them to their own perspectives. More perspectives means more potential ways to contribute to society. This can't happen if the government has the power to trap everyone in the same echo chamber.
