      Education is the innoculation, but not the cure. It is an important preventative that takes decades to have an effect. And conservatives are destroying that innoculation wherever they are able. It is, unfortunately, not a cure for those already infected.

      An effective cure will be something much more swift.

        In what way does education not cure the problem?

        I get that you for whatever reason only recognize results if they are fast, but reality unfortunately does not share your bias.

          When a disease is able to defeat the treatment, and is actively doing just that as we speak, it’s not an effective enough treatment to be called a cure.

          Adult conservatives have the world’s knowledge at their fingertips and they ignore it, deny it, and ban it. They are resistant to education. They also work aggressively to prevent youth from being exposed to it. This disease is extremely resistant to the treatment.

          If we can stop the adult conservatives from preventing education of the youth, then the youth can be prevented from becoming infected with conservatism. That’s not a cure, though. That’s a preventative.
