View submission: The Mental Gymnastics is Infuriating
This. My New England blue state has a highly popular state run tech schools system.
The southern HS I went to in a state that has turned very red has no such thing and also has cut most of your wood shop type classes a long time ago.
Redhats love pooping on college and holding up the trades and yell about bringing back votech training but I aways see little effort in moving in that direction.

They have no coherent ideology or morals, they literally just get programmed the same brain dead talking points ad nauseam. Calling it gymnastics is way too nice; that would imply there is actual thinking involved. It’s more like a fascist magic 8 ball. Give them a shake and get the same 5 right wing propaganda blurbs over and over.

The southern high school where I went had many vocational programs, from welding, agriculture, and plumbing to fashion design and business. The southern high school where I currently teach has HVAC training, phlebotomy and nursing, accounting, drone piloting, auto mechanics, law enforcement, and graphic design. We have our own print shop that does everything from t-shirts to large scale advertising signage--all run by students.
