The thing that pisses me off the most here is that while we all shit-sling about CRT, there actually is a topic that, if you taught it to every child in America, would go a long way in leveling the playing field Democrats are so convinced is systemically unfair. That topic is called Basics of Personal Finance. Proposed lesson plans include: What is interest? How can it work for me and against me? How does a loan work? How do credit cards work? How do I make a budget? How much should I save and for what? What is a retirement plan? How do I invest my money? What is appreciation and depreciation? The fact that financial literacy is not regarded as the absolute most important thing to teach in public school has always blown my mind. I had a substitute teacher play Dave Ramsey videos for a week once in 11th grade, and if I hadn't already been taught most of those concepts by my parents it would have been the most consequential week of education in my life.

And yet the NEA just voted for $127k to publicize CRT and $56k for opposition research into people against CRT.

This is my shocked face... Even if it is in writing, you can't always count on it... That whole "core values" thing, that's more for you to follow and doesn't necessarily pertain to big AF. Also, no one care more about you (and your career) than you do. Just keep this all in mind as you make family/career/life decisions throughout your time in the military.
