this coming from the political party that doesn’t want to teach sexual education in school because modesty.
the only two books I think should be mandatory part of High school education are 1984 and Brave New World because they teach about how Authoritarianism take hold in society.

“As a professor of political science at the U.S. Air Force Academy, I teach critical race theories to our nation’s future military leaders because it is vital that cadets understand the history of the racism that has shaped both foreign and domestic policy,” García explained.

Nope - there are four basic skills that need taught in high school and one corresponding required book for each.
Personal Finance: A Random Walk Down Wall Street
Revenge: Titus Andronicus
Golf: Ben Hogan’s Five Lessons
Woodworking: Good Clean Fun
No other books are necessary to have a fulfilling life.

Nah. It’s people who’s beliefs are falling out of favor trying to force them down everybody’s throat, and using that as motivational and organizing tool.
I mean else is left of the GOP? Wacky conspiracy theories and culture wars. Oh and tax cuts.
