"Death To Our Extremist Opponents!"

Stupidity + ignorance + totalitarian pseudo-philosophy --> bad.
“Let’s deny this off-key band of people that are anti-education, anti-teacher, anti-equity, anti-history, anti-racial reckoning, anti-opportunities, anti-help people, anti-diversity, anti-platform, anti-science, anti-change agent, anti-social justice, anti-health care, anti-worker, anti-LGBTQ+, anti-children, anti-health care, anti-worker, anti-environment, anti-admissions policy change, anti-inclusion, anti-live-and-let live people. Let them die,” she shouted, to cheers and applause. “Don’t let these uncomfortable people, don’t let these uncomfortable people deter us from our bold march forward.”

 Maybe the problem is really meta-stupidity / meta-ignorance: the teachers pushing this stuff have no idea how ignorant and, well, not-all-that-smart they are. They fancy themselves intellectuals, but really have no earthly clue WTF they're talking about. Insert Dunning-Kruger hoo-ha here. You'd think they'd understand enough to know that they have insufficient grounds for teaching this shit to children...but I guess not. OTOH, they're basically acting in accordance with illiberal principles: they aim to indoctrinate and convert, not understand. According to their own dogma, the epistemic status of the dogma doesn't matter. What matters is winning a political war. And what they want is child soldiers.
